The Wedding Day!

What a beautiful and amazing day we had.  The bride was stunning and the groom, so handsome!  Everything went perfectly.  I cried through the whole entrance of the bridesmaids and the bride, but was able to settle down once the ceremony began.  It was the most amazing ceremony.  The scripture was appropriate and everyone loved the message that our pastor presented.  The pastor has known Alyssa since she was four.  It was a very personal and loving ceremony.
My friend, Annette, read the scripture.  She did a fabulous job.  I know she was really nervous!
The kids make their grand entrance into the reception.  Keith and Delaney.  The Bridesmaids were so beautiful and the Groomsmen looked sharp!
Katie, the maid of honor and Michael, the best man.  Michael made an incredible speech.  We loved it.  Katie brought tears to my uncles eyes as she straightened Alyssa's skirt at the alter.  He just realized how grown up and responsible she was.  A touching moment for him.
Courtney (Greg's sister) and David. I'll try to get some photos of Courtney's two year old son, Trenton, who was so adorable and danced the night away!
The clinking of the glasses which begged for kisses!
Delaney, Tommy and Katie.
Alyssa and Greg dance to "I thought I loved you then"
Mom and Dad 
Daddy and Alyssa dancing the Father - Daughter Dance.  It brought tears to her daddy's eyes and everyone else's.  They danced to:  "I loved her first"

The cake.  It looks like chocolate, but that's just the fondant.  It is strawberry lemonade cake.  It was so yummy.
I love this picture!  We had so much fun dancing!  It was a great bonding moment for our family.  All the aunts and cousins, friends; we all danced together.  It was great.  I hope someone got pictures of it!
The girls having fun!
Delaney and Dante.  Dante is our neighbor and about two years younger than Delaney.  Delaney has known Dante since he was born.
The handsome husband and our friends/neighbors: Steve and Shawn.

Me and our friends/neighbors Tina and Marlene.  Tina did our make-up for the wedding, she is Dante's mom and the girls love her. They went over to her house and hung out their whole lives.  Marlene is so fun and I walk with her alot.
