THE WEDDING

The Wedding was so beautiful, of course when you have two beautiful people join as one the outcome has to be BEAUTIFUL!! Jen and Branden both were so excited and glowing this day.





With the ocean as the back drop it was amazing, the ocean air and the sound, it brings goosebumps to me even now.




Let the journey begin..I hope you enjoy the photos...











This was the setting where the ceremony took place, it was so AMAZING!!














Mike and I starting it off.



Cord and Debbie (Jens Mom and brother)
And of course the beautiful very happy bride Jen and her Dad (Joe).




The kids presented Debbie and I with flowers thanking us for the love we have given them.



Saying their vows.


It was such a awesome view and setting, nothing like I have ever experienced before.



Instead of a unity candle they did a sand ceremony. Jen, Branden and Jaden each had their own color of sand and they poured their sand at the same time into a etched glass heart vase to make a design, it was so touching.


They are now pronounced Man and Wife I love this picture cause if you look up at the top of the photo you can see the sunrays trying to come out. I can only think that its Grandpa Reddix(Brandens Grandpa) and Jens Grandma shining through showing their acceptance. Both of the kids Grandparents passed away a few years ago and the kids felt a big void, but we know they were there.

Ok this is my alltime favorite photo, take a look at Jen,Branden and Jadens faces they are all three so HAPPY, it shows true LOVE..






Getting CONGRATULATIONS from the Dads..




Presenting Mrs. Jen Peters with her family...



Our new family together..Don't I have the prettiest daughter-in-laws ever??

Hahah Yep you guessed it the GUYS!! Jamie bestman,Ryan and Cord Groomsmen. (Ryan attempting to be a beach babe)...




The Wedding Party!!!




The following are photos of the reception decorations.




Let the reception begin, we had great food it was catered from Olive Garden with some extras like fresh fruit cheese and meats. It was all so YUMMIE!!

Then there was dancing....I just loved watching the grandbabies shake their groove thing.hahaha










Jaden was such a good older cousin, he took time out of his dancing to make sure his cousin Danica had some things to eat, afertall she needed to keep her strength up for this long evening.



Then there was the dance....below little Jaden cut in on his Daddy so he could be apart of this.


Then there was Mother-Son dance and we included Jaden, he is a very good little dancer.


Everyone then joined in the fun of dancing and a great time. I love that bottom photo of Branden giving little Jaden a kiss and Jaden closing his eyes and accepting it (thats precious).




Cake cutting and feeding..







HA..She got him way to go Jen..


Toasting!! The following are just random photos of family and the beautiful setting!!!



I hope I've captured some of the moments, and you've enjoyed viewing the wedding. Of course if we had our way we would have wanted you all there but we apprecaiate the love you have shown and thank you for being a part of our lives.
