Beautiful Wedding Day!!

The Montag clan after the wedding. The cousins and aunts and uncles came from Texas, Illinois, California, Nebraska and Oregon! I haven't even counted, but it was really fun to have family and friends enjoy and celebrate Samantha and Marty's wedding with us!

Pastor Suz giving the family and friends in the audience the 'charge' to support the couple in every way.

During the ceremony.

The bridesmaids: Amanda (niece); Allison (daughter-in-law-to-be in 8 weeks!; Michelle (niece); and Claire (niece).

Wedding Rehearsal Day!!!

The happy couple (Marty & Samantha) in front of Pastor Suzie practicing for Saturday. The weather could NOT be BETTER. IT"S BEAUTIFUL!!!

Izaac running in front of the groomsman during the rehearsal and Alex (my son) trying to grab him (Alex was only teasing).

The view from the top of the hill where the ceremony will take place. It's even prettier than when I saw it in March (nothing was growing--the trees were just brown sticks!).

One of the younger members of the Montag family (Maggie) meeting the relatives for the first time. She's a doll, and nine months old!

We're almost ready for the first wedding weekend!

Here's the trailer we rented to take chairs to the outdoor wedding this weekend.

I think we're ready, and I'm excited to see all the people who are coming to the celebration (relatives and non-relatives!!). The weather was wonderful today (and yesterday, too), and if it's nearly as nice Saturday, we'll all be thrilled. Here....we.....go......
