And the Wedding Weekend Begins!

I’m home! Woo hoo! And just in time for a wedding. (smile)

The next few days will be wonderfully busy and exciting. We had dinner last night with Jared’s parents, and it was great to get to know them better! You always hope and pray (and cross your fingers) that your children will marry into loving, supportive families, and Shanna is definitely doing that!

Today is her bridal shower, tomorrow is the wedding, and I’m sure you’ll understand that I’m going to be a little busy. I’m planning on posting on Sunday with an I’ll-try-to-keep-it-as-brief-as-possible summary of all the festivities.

In the meantime, have a wonderful Friday. . . .

Congratulations to Shanna! I still remember her when she was the littlest helper at the '97 Vegas convention, I think it was for one of the "carnival games"! ;) She has become a beautiful woman! It has been fun to see her grow up! :*) I think I might cry!!!

Wow, Julie that does bring back memories! That was my first convention. The Good Old Summertime.
Congrats to the whole family, looking forward to pictures and your post on Sunday, Shelli. Thanks for your great blog.

Congratulations to all of you! Weddings are always a blessed event, especially when it is the last DAUGHTER to get married. For some reason it is much easier having son-in-laws than daughter-in-laws.
Have a wonderful wedding weekend.

What an fun and exciting time for you, Shelli! On a selfish note, I am disappointed that I won't see you at the Milwaukee Regional today!

CONGRATULATIONS Shanna and Jared! But, mostly to you Shelli....the last one to be married! How wonderful. I cannot wait to see her pictures. What a loving family Jared is marrying into too! Close knit what more can he ask for!

Looking forward to all your pictures and your stories!

Also wanted to just say what a great job was done at Dawn's Workshop of a Lifetime. I met Dawn through her blog and met her in person at convention a few years back. Reading both your blog and hers about the event I almost felt like I was there! Thanks so much for sharing!

Inky Hugs,
Terry~~

Congratulations to Shanna and Jared! I remember the first time I saw Shanna, she was swinging me around on the dance floor at the 1999 Convention!! What a FUN time that celebration was!!!! Best Wishes to the entire family! All daughters are married now!

Congratulations Shanna & Jared!! I with them a lifetime of happiness and joy.

I also wanted to say that I love the new blue theme on your blog. It's very pretty.

Congratulations to your family. I am amazed and and a little envious as to how you keep it all together and seemingly very organized. When my son was married a couple of months ago, I felt like the most disorganized individual there was and I was the mother of the groom - not responsible for putting the wedding together. Best wishes to the new bride and groom!

Congratulations to you, Shelli! (and to Sterling, of course) for raising such a lovely daughter!

Wishing Shanna and Jared many blissful years (and eternities) of wedded happiness. They look soooo happy!
