Mel & Gary's Big Wedding Day!

Melanie's Big Day is here! We're all dolled up and ready for the wedding to get started. It's a beautiful day out and the weather is just perfect for an outdoor wedding at Lakewood Country Club! The morning was busy and now it's even busier trying to get Mel all ready and photos done for the bride, bridesmaids & groomsmen! Everything turned out wonderfully and everyone had a great time! I had a little incident since I am 9-months pregnant in her wedding. I think I lacked sleep, water & food and I made it through the whole ceremony fine but once I walked back up the aisle into the reception area my legs started to cramp up. I had to sit down right away and drink club soda. I guess standing up in front for the ceremony in the little heels didn't go well with my body. I took it easy got better and then was able to do a few bridal party photos with everyone. Then I just took it easy at the reception too and sat a lot and enjoyed the time. I'm glad I made it through for Mel and didn't ruin anything. Funny how Mel had two preggie girls in her bridal party. Kelly her friend all the way from Canada was actually 6 months pregnant. Can't believe she got us to do this for her. We must do love her dearly! Anything for Miss. Melanie! Especially today!
My lovely little girl Makayla came to find me while doing the bridesmaids photos. Dad did a pretty good job getting her all dolled up for this without me! Kudos to Daddy.
Makayla and her Daddy. So handsome and so pretty!
Mr. & Mrs. Reeves! Look how happy they both look! Finally all done with! Such a beautiful wedding & couple!
It's cake time! Melanie raved about this fabulous red velvet cake which I've never tried before and for sure it was delicious! Yum, Yum!
Uncle Binh & Mak cracking up at something!
Congrats to Mel & Gary! What a perfect day for the two of you! Thanks for letting us all share this wonderful day with you! Love you & may you live happily ever after!
