Last Saturday, we celebrated my daughter Jessi’s wedding to her hubby, Drew!

After many, many months of preparation, we did it! The day was such a beautiful celebration of love, family and friendship! But, boy was it hot — 96 degrees with a heat index of 105 and no breeze in the gardens. You gotta love Kansas summer. : )

Here are some some photos from the day. Thank you to everyone for your kind, congratulatory words. I know they mean a lot to Jessi and Drew.

Rehearsal dinner hug with our oldest daughter’s husband, Joel.

Granddaughter Magnolia in her Wagon and the dress I made. With the heat, she wasn’t very happy – but still extremely cute!

Our beautiful bride, Jessi and her very handsome Dad (and my guy), Jon.

First Dance for Jessi & Drew.

Exchange of Vows for Drew & Jessi. (Maggie was fussy and was only comfortable in Mommy’s arms.)

We hung a picture frame from a tree branch for silly pictures during the social hour (between the ceremony and dinner). HUGE SUCCESS for our guests!
