Brandon & Jamie's Wedding

On Saturday 5/21/2011, Matt's cousin Brandon got married.  The wedding was downtown in the Magnolia Hotel Courtyard.  It was so beautiful and turned out to be a wonderful afternoon for the wedding.  During the ceremony, Brandon and Jamie did a "Wine Box Ceremony."  They had wrote love a letter to each other prior to their special day and placed them in sealed envelopes so the other one would not be able to read it.  On Saturday, they then placed the envelopes into a wine box which was nailed closed.  At their 5 year anniversary, they are to open the wine box, drink the wine, and read the letters together.  How sweet is that!

The reception was held at the Mid America Center, where Matt and I had our reception.  Everything was decorated so beautifully by my mother in law.  In fact if you ever need a party decorated- this is the lady you want to hire! 

Ryah was such a trooper.  She enjoyed all the lights and music, and for only taking a few quick cat naps, she lasted until 9:30pm.  We didn't even make it out of the parking lot and she was sound asleep in her car seat.  Needless to say, I thought she would sleep in the next morning, but not this little girl, she was up at 6am ready to go for the day!

Congratulations Brandon & Jamie~ and thanks for letting us celebrate with you!
