Wedding Pictures ~ The Reception

I feel like my blog has become wedding central :)  It has been fun sharing all the beautiful details of Brenna and AJ's wedding.  But, this will be the last wedding post. 

Brenna's goal from the beginning is that the ceremony be a little more traditional, with an air of seriousness since this was a promise of faithfulness that her and AJ were making to God.  But, once they said "I DO" she wanted it super fun!  And it really was!!

Like I had mentioned before, it's amazing how God provided in so many ways!! There is a very dear lady at our church that loves to decorate.  As God started providing things for the wedding in the EXACT decor Brenna wanted, we took them to Mrs. Judy who had agreed to put the reception all together for us.  She did amazing!!! She worked so hard on making the reception at the Civic Center amazing!!! She took Brenna's ideas and ran with it!  What a wonderful blessing!!!

We also have a very sweet lady at our church, Nan, that loves to bake.  Her goodies are always so scrumptious!!! She baked the cake for Brenna and AJ.  It turned out beautiful!!

Water bottles were a wedding favor for everyone. 

There were so many personal touches. 

For the send off, they did glowsticks. How fun!

We had a soda bar set up with cherry and vanilla syrups to add to the cans.

There was so much laughter and friendship in that room!!

Before the bridal party arrived, Brenna and AJ wanted everyone to go ahead and start eating. There were BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, Chicken Salad and a potato chip bar.  So yummy!

 We had Brother Babston pray for the food.  I love to hear him pray as you can tell he has a sincere relationship with the Lord.

Then, the Groom and Bride arrived! :o)

AJ thanked everyone for coming and being there for their special day.  Then, they announced their bridal party and who they were as they each came in. That was so special.

For days before the wedding, Brenna baked and baked her homemade brownies to serve at the wedding.  Hers are the best!!

Then, it was time to cut the cake.  I told you Nan is a wonderful baker!! AJ even went back for a second bite. :o)

And then it was time for them to go....

Look how happy they are!! I just love it!

It was a wonderful day that God has His hand upon.  We are so thankful!!

I'm reminded over and over again of 3 John 1:4, there really is no greater joy!!  Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Blankenship!!
