Presenting...Kenna and James Hardaway!!

This weekend my sweet sister in law married her high school sweetheart, James. It was a fun weekend, filled with festivities and celebrations! We started the weekend off with a bridal luncheon at Grotto's, hosted by three of her aunts! It was a fun time to visit and the food was delicious--especially the desserts!

I'm not really sure why I'm making this face in the picture, but Elizabeth and I had fun catching up during the luncheon and hanging out that afternoon until the rehearsal dinner.

Then, that evening we all met up at the church for the rehearsal--it was HOT, but everything went smoothly and seemed to be ready for the big day.

And after all was taken care of at the church, we spent the rest of the evening at Fogo de Chao for the rehearsal dinner. It was a place Landon had been wanting to go to but we never could justify going there because there was no way I would be eating enough meat to justify the price, so it worked out nicely for us, haha! I got full off the sides and the salad bar and a few bites of his meat, and he thoroughly enjoyed the meal. And, we had a good time visiting with family and celebrating with James and Kenna.

Saturday morning, after a nice bike ride and a quick shower, Landon and I met up with Logan, Elizabeth and Abagael for lunch at Gringo's and then headed up to the church to help get everything ready, and get ready ourselves. And, almost before we knew it, the guests were beginning to arrive and it was show time!

the programs were a neat idea--they folded out into fans--and were nice to have outside in the heat!

Presenting...

Mr. and Mrs. James Hardaway!

the ring bearer, a family friend of James, was precious--and Abagail LOVED hanging out with him!

After the ceremony everyone put on their glasses and we took a group photo of everyone there! I was wishing we had a picture of everyone at our wedding like that (but probably without the sunglasses...somehow I think they would have been out of place at our wedding, haha!)

Our first photo of them as a married couple!

And then, we got to head inside for the A/C (and the reception!)

We had a fun time visiting with some friends and family, and enjoying yet another delicious meal. And then, almost before we knew it, James and Kenna were changed and running out to the limo!

Happy honeymoon, James and Kenna!!
