The Wedding

My sister Stacie got married in Puerto Rico in January. It was amazing. Enjoy!


Guess I'm a little excited!! Woohoo!



The venue, El Conquistador in Fajardo, was absolutely breathtaking. The gardens, the ocean view, the pools and hotel -- amazing. Here you can see the rose petal runner and the trellis for the ceremony. Along with all five of my crazy brothers (and two of my awesome sister-in-laws) this 2nd shot shows the hotel and some of the garden area. The fans with monogram tags were a great touch and a big hit!



My sisters -- the beautiful bridesmaids. Enjoy now while we look nice because it got a little CRAZY later on!


My handsome happy boys!


The ring bearers getting their instructions. Wow! What a handsome lineup...



I love this picture of Dave. Even when things were getting stressful with the weather, no one could rain on his parade! He was just so happy.


And, much to everyone's disappointment, it started to pour minutes before the scheduled ceremony. :-(


Some handled it better than others...


The girls waiting...


The guys waiting...


A couple more shots of the boys. It's my blog, so it's my right to heavily feature my kids in every entry!


Ring bearers and flower girl are ready!


In practice, Cooper had been in front and Jasper knew to follow. But for the ceremony Jasper somehow ended up in front and Cooper literally had to push him down the aisle. It was almost as cute as the zig-zagging flower girl tossing the petals :-).


This is Dave's face as Stacie walked in. I love seeing how happy he is!

Listening to the bishop...
Woohoo!!!! The happy couple are married, pictures have been taken, the delicious dinner has been eaten and it's time to get down! Warning: I'm posting some caught-in-the-act somewhat embarassing photos of myself here because I can't look at them without laughing. I thought my friends and family deserved the same enjoyment. :-)

I know I look like a freak, but I love how hard Cami and Shaulee are laughing in this picture.

Stacie and mom get in on the action! We're lettin' loose!

Stacie kicks off the heels and has a great time.

Shaulee shows her stuff.
The guys show off some moves of their own.

And we start getting a little outta control! That Perkins family is a crazy bunch!
