Melinda's Wedding

In the morning the Bridal Party met to get ready for the wedding. We all got our hair done and many of the brodesmaids got their make-up done too. It was very nice and they did a great job on all of our hair. Then we went back to Melinda's mommy's house and had some lunch.
The limo showed up around 2 and we all got our stuff ready to head over to Ostertag.


We were all super excited for the wedding and the limo was awesome.




Melinda was as cool as a cucumber. She was ready for her big day.

We all arrived at Ostertag and went upstairs to get dressed. They flowers were all ready so the florist brought up the Bride's bouquet so she could see what it looks like. It was so beauiful and smelled amazing.

Jayden and Brenden looked so cute in their tuxes. Jayden loved to show his off.The bridesmaids doing some finishing touches on their make-up.
While I helped Melinda get into her dress.
And Brendon helped Melinda get ready by putting on her shoes. What a gentleman!Jayden was having a good time playing with my camera and made for a great photographer. Here is Melinda her Mommy, and her sisters-in-law.
A quick toast before the ceremony.

And Melinda takes a last look in the mirror.



Jayden was the Jr. cameraman and stood next to the photographer and captured some great shots. Here is the Bridal Party all ready to go.


The ceremony was beautiful and took place outside under a beautiful tree. It was such a beautiful ceremony that I cried a couple of times. Afterward we all went for pictures while the guests enjoyed hor d'ouveres in the barn.

Then it was time to parrrrrrrrty!

The inital feeding went well


But then Melinda got Jason with some frosting.

And it was so good Jason wanted some more.
After the two share a kiss and a laugh it was time to get back to dancing.

I was really missing my Wyatt since I had been away for so long so Stan and I decided we would share one more dance with Melinda (Michael Jackson's Thriller) and then we headed home. It was a beautiful day and a fantastic night. It was everything we used to dream of when we were kids.
