My cousin Jared finally got married yesterday! We were beginning to wonder if he and Shellie would ever get around to tying the knot! I’m so happy that I’m not the only married one in the family now and are so happy to have the wonderful addition of Shellie. I know they will be very happy together. Shellie is from a very very large southern family and the wedding was one of the most beautiful and elaborate events I’ve ever seen. You know we are flower people so we had to take pictures of everything! Shellie’s cousin (or Uncle?) from Atlanta did all the flowers and they were incredible. Mama and I did the boutonnieres and Mother’s flowers.
The wedding was held in a little church in their home town and I’m here to tell you it was NOT big enough for all the droves of people that came. By the time the wedding started at 6 the church was completely packed, people were standing in every single open spot you could find and we were told a number of people couldn’t even make it into the church and stood outside. Then we went to Shellie’s parent’s house for the reception and there had to be 500 people there. We were told they had planned for food for 300 and by the time we made it down the line they were almost out of everything and plenty of people were still behind us. I cut the groom’s cake and served almost the entire large 2 layer cake within probably 20 minutes. It was insane.
Now for pictures……
Now that is one good looking family right there! If only the boy wasn’t missing.
Now for some of the other family
With the groom, doesn’t he look handsome!
And with Robby
And with the beautiful Bride. Shellie and Nicholas have never met because Nicholas is ALWAYS deployed when we see her! I followed the lead of some of my friends back home and made a Nicholas on a pencil so he could have a picture with the family.
Oh and did I mention it was HOT, ya’ll it was HOT. So so HOT!!! We were melting. Bless Shellie’s heart!

And because you know Jared is a cotton Dr. (I’m not kidding, he has his PhD in cotton and soybean stuff, no idea what exactly he does but we are super proud of him!)
And last but not least….. Mama and Bubba dancing together!!!!
We had a wonderful time and I could keep on adding more and more pics because I have a TON but I’ll leave it at this for now!
