Here Comes the Bride - Two of Three!!! ~

Princess Brandie...... Mrs. Stephen Hill...

And what can I say about such a pretty picture? Dear Brandie made Aunt Trudy cry just a little bit. I returned from Georgia Monday afternoon..... it was a very good experience for me to share with my young adult children. I truly found out how amazing they were by watching from the sidelines how they interacted with family that they, in the beginning, didn't really know very well, Although, Stephanie came to Georgia with me in March of 2004 for a previous wedding. She was merely 13 then. This was different. Ryan is 19 and Stephanie is 17. They are the youngest of the Jones family that was there from this generation. Hmmm......

OK there had to be one in here with the three of us....

The wedding was, beautiful!!!! In perfect Jones style. Stephen and Brandie honored their families as well as their friends.

Yeah.... this is the one..... this was part of the candle-lighting ceremony...... It was beautiful.

There was a pause when the DJ announced "the father's dance". Stephen's Dad stepped out and took Brandie's hand. There weren't many dry eyes.

There was a true blending of families that would take many blogs to document and understand. Just know that this was a marriage that was awesome and weirdly Karmic...... Stephen's family is a joy, as is Stephen. And God is still smiling..... I wish I'd actually taken more pictures..... From left to right is Stephen's Mom and his three Aunts. This was taken at the bridal tea.

Alyssa is almost a professional flower girl... and Natalie is Dave and Cindy's Granddaughter :) ....Beautiful Young Ladies....

And then there are those Joneses..... near and dear to my heart:

Here's to "Happily Ever After"...

And they drove off into the night.....
