Jaci's Wedding Pictures......finally........

[gja1000]

Diana, I just looked at the pics again, and I like them so much!

I just had to say that I love Jaci's bouquet. The traditional bride's bouquet is white and I just don't like the white bouquet with the white dress. Neither did my daughter and her bouquet was just like Jaci's - so colorful and just beautiful next to her white wedding dress.

Then, if the bouquet was not enough, the flowers on the wedding cake were just like my daughter's cake too! A friend of mine came early to put fresh flowers on the white cake. It was just so beautiful and Jaci's cake reminded me of my daughter's cake.

I also loved the white dress with the pink and green swirls on it. She's pinning flowers on the guys in the beginning of the pictures. That dress was so pretty and I just loved the pink and green swirls. I thought at first that was going to be the bridesmaids dress.

The pictures were just so great and it looks like you all had such a wonderful time, which is really all that matters!

Nate is one lucky man, Diana! Jaci is so beautiful, and she shines! They look very happy together, and the wedding looks to be perfect! The fountain, the walkway, the garden, cake and everything worked out just beautifully!

I can't imagine how you are going to pick out "the best!"

Thank you so much everyone!!! I thought that it was a very beautiful wedding and the pictures just really confirmed it for me!! Jaci was so lovely that day.

Gayle, Jaci and Nate's mother made the bouquets that Jaci carried and the bridesmaids and Nate's mother also made the wedding cake using some of the leftover flowers. I wasn't involved in any of that part. However, everything was so pretty and the cake was just beautiful and it saved us a lot of money.

The girl in the dress with the pink and green swirls is my daughter-in-law, Tammy. Isn't she a lovely girl? She's the mother of our twins, Karley and Kiley, and Elijah. I just loved that dress!! She also wore it on Easter and I commented on it then.

My MIL was very upset that Jaci and the bridesmaids were barefooted and I got questioned about it after the wedding. She thought that there was some kind of symbolism in it. I told her "not that I knew of but that it was just a Jaci thing". Jaci is such a tomboy that it really just fit her personality. It's just like my MIL to try to read something in it that's not there. Oh well!!!!

We had the bouquets for my daughters wedding made at the floral corner of our local grocery store! Brooke had worked at that grocery and knew the lady there did nice work. It saved us a TON of money too!!! We bought some single flowers from her too, and my friend came by and put them on the plain white cake. It was so pretty, just like Jaci's!

Diana, everything is beautiful!!!!!! Don't feel bad about the barefeet. Our daughter, Melissa had barefeet under her dress. Like Jaci, that's the way she was most confortable. Melissa's bridesmaids wore shoes, but shucked them at the reception because they were so uncomfortable. Karen wore pink plaid Converse under her wedding dress.

We attended an outdoor wedding recently, in the rain, and the girls were all barefoot in that one. Lots of color, no jackets on the guys, barefeet, simple flowers are they way things are done these days.

Jaci's wedding was lovely!!!! Very nice and the pictures are really good!! She looks soooo young. Melissa was 21 and Karen 24 when they married, so Jaci looks like a baby. She looks soooo happy!!!

Wishing the very best to all!!

Thanks everyone for the compliments on Jaci's wedding!!!

Marilyn...Jaci is young....she's only 18....just out of high school but she's dated Nate for quite a while and she's very sure that he's the one. He's a very responsible young man and we are very happy to have him in our family. I really would have liked for her to wait for a year or so just to have some independence of her own but that's not what she wanted. They are both very happy!!!
