Johnny's Wedding

My brother, Johnny, married his beautiful fiancé, Jessica, on July 3rd.
Mia was the flower girl. It was a great weekend event including the annual 4th of July party.

We practiced, practiced, practiced with Mia so we would have the best chance of her cooperating as flower girl. She did great during the practice.




Grandpa John playing with Mia after the rehearsal dinner.

Landon and daddy all dressed and ready for the wedding, notice the cute little bow-tie on Landon.
Mia dressed carrying her purse from Aunt Jessica from Mexico. Mia was being difficult before the wedding. She only got a 20 minute nap (Kris even tried driving around in the van to get to to nap, no luck) and wouldn't let me fix her hair and was throwing fits before we got her dressed. Needless to say I was very nervous as to how she was going to do.
The little man, Landon, with Aunt Theresa.
My neices, Tiffany and Samantha.
Ceremony
Diesel, Jessica's dog, was the ring bearer. Doesn't he look handsome :)
Mia's journey down the isle. I was very proud of her. With just a little coaching from Kris she did a GREAT job. Just the cutest flower girl ever.
Here comes the bride!




Trying to light the unity candle, it was a little windy.



Reception

Couple's first dance. Mia really wanted to dance.
Let's POLKA. My grandma was happy they played a polka.

The wedding was at the Hilton Garden Inn in South Bend. This was our hotel room.
Enjoying the hotel pool.
Party
Out on the St. Joseph river during the 4th of July party, which included an excellent fireworks show that I didn't get any pictures of since I was tending to our children.

Having fun in the pool at Aunt Jessica's house.
I enjoy watching my little girl get her groove on, hopefully you will too.




It was a great weekend and I'm excited for Johnny and Jessica as they begin their new life together.

It's rare to find another mom who documents everything! Well done! Tell Kris I say hello! We'll be visiting Indiana in a few weeks... can't wait!
