The Rehearsal
It was in a field right across the street from Kelsea's parents' house.
They found these windows salvage and put in the stained glass. It was just beautiful.
The "pillows" on the ground were actually cast in cement. The couch was for the flower girls to sit on during the ceremony.
Kelsea's dad made this ramp and background. It was so pretty and the whole seen fit perfectly. It was all just elegant in it's simplicity.

| Hallie (Mark's cousin's daughter), Sutton, and Laina |
 |
| I don't want to look at you. It's too bright! |
 |
| Pastor Mark, the officiant, and Bille, the groom. hehe |
 |
| Sally (Mark's mom) and Matt (Mark's cousin Kim's husband) and Bodie (Mark's son - I had to say it) |
|
 |
| In the background is Lacee (not sure of spelling) and Paul - Mark's cousins' kids. |
 |
| Sutton, Arena (the little girl) and Landry (the older one) - both are Billie's neices. |
 |
| I should have taken the older girls, too, and not cut off their heads. hehe. I was just thinking about all the flower girls. There were six! Four were related to Bille and two related to Kelsea. |
I realize that I didn't get any pictures of Kelsea. Sheesh. I was so busy with trying to figure out what the flower girls and ring bearers were supposed to do that I wasn't very consistent with pictures. Sorry about that.
The Rehearsal Dinner
At Bill and Renee's
 |
| The chuckwagon - the jugs were filled with cooking vegetables. |
 |
| The musician - he played all sorts of instruments. |
 |
| The Barbeque pit - Look at all those steaks! YUM!!!! |
 |
| The brands for the steaks. |
 |
| Bill and Renee's beautiful house (On the left, that's Mark with his A Sarah, A Susan, and cousin Mollie) |
|
 |
| Inside the house, Renee had tables set up. Each chair had a napkin with a saying and Kelsea and Billie's names and date on it and we had lemonade or tea in glass jar mugs also with the date and names on it both of which we got to keep. The tables were beautiful. Oh, that's Erik, Mark's cousin Billie Rae's husband. I wasn't meaning to get him in the pic and didn't realize until later that he was in it. But at least he's smiling! hehehe |
 |
| The stagecoach that gave rides. |
 |
| Waiting for our stagecoach ride. |
 |
| Just another view of the cooking. That wooden thing on the right is a big trough type thing that all the food was put in to keep warm and the servers gave us food out of it. Soooo good. Besides the steaks and veggies, inside was bread and then peach cobbler and ice cream for desert. All the food was homegrown. SOOOO good!!!! |
|
We had such a good time! I wish that I could have gotten some more pictures. I meant to get some from Mark's parents when they were here, but we forgot! I wish I hadn't done that!! They had some other pictures that would have been nice to have and show you.
I will continue with the wedding later. I really don't have many pictures at all of that since I was somewhat in charge of the all the flower girls and my ringbearer and Bodie. I was slightly busy. I didn't even get a picture of Kelsea in her beautiful dress. Sorry about that. She really did look beautiful.... but, anyway, the wedding is coming up next. :)
