The Wedding

I've been telling you that my youngest son was getting married.  Well, on Saturday, May 16, 2015, he wed the love of his life, Krystal, in Stillwater, OK.


our family
 Both my husband, and our other son, Christopher, were groomsmen.  The wedding was small, but very sweet.  My favorite part was my son, saying a prayer with his bride to be, before the wedding.

What a great way to start a marriage, by including God from the very start.

Here are a couple more pictures of the happy couple.

The happy couple loved the wedding quilt that I had made them.

Yep, it's large enough

 What a great gift.

The signature quilt was a great hit, too!  I think everyone there signed it.

Thanks Carla for the great idea!

The rains waited until the reception was over, thank goodness.  We didn't have to deal with all of the flooding in Oklahoma.

Now to get back to some stitching.....

  7. Congratulations. Your son must be very special, and it's good to see a couple starting out on the right foot (unless God build the house...) Wonderful! Your daughter in law must be a real peach because that necklace was a winner. Loved the quilt. I know you're happy and probably a little tired. Congratulations on a job well done....a wonderful son!

  11. Beautiful quilts and a wonderful wedding, AND the weather held off; can you ask for more than that? Thanks for sharing the stories and pictures. So sweet.
    (The day we got married the temps came down into the 70s when the previous part of the summer was all in the 90s... a great relief to all our guests in their fancy clothes, and to us, too. Sometimes that will happen.)
    Hugs
