The Wedding...

The Night Before the Wedding...

Well after a very HOT day it was time to practice this ceremony!!!

All decked out in their Hawaiian attire,

these crazy guys were ready to see

the bride to come down the isle!

I have no idea what they are looking at

but it must have been interesting!!! LOL

Remember these aren't the photographers pictures,

just pictures we all took.

I just loved this one because you

can really see how pretty those hydrangea's and lambs ear

dried flowers looked on those doors!

Here they stood holding hands practicing

for what would be the biggest

day of their lives!

It was a beautiful day

but it was way to hot...

almost 100 degrees and the humidity

well just let us say we were

all dripping wet and miserable...

Thank goodness for lots of ceiling fans in that place!!

Down the isle they went...

and off to the other end of the property...

The Rehearsal Dinner was to be all the

way across the property, down by the pond!

West Virginia is a beautiful State

as you could see we were surrounded by trees

big beautiful Green trees.

And to the right, right behind those trees

is a beautiful river!

If you look really close

far in the background about 300 yards down

Is the pavilion the wedding would be held the next day!

By this time mostly decorated

and shortly after this dinner we would be adding the

finishing touches on everything.

That way the next morning all we should have to do is set

the tables and add those little touches that would make everything perfect!

It was such a beautiful evening and everyone was having such a wonderful time!

It was a luau and everyone was dressed the part!

All the bridesmaids were looking great!!!

Signs were hung...

This one was designed by Mary

The Flower girl.

She always called

Amanda/Anda

and well she never knew her Pap

So she always called

JR/Pap

and that is what the sign should read...

and that it did!

Here we are

The Usary Girls!

Me,Amanda & Colleen

we had worked hard

and it was time to party!

Here is our wonderful Photographer,

JR's cousin Sandra and her husband Rocco

and I can't forget the Crazy Groom

in the background!

Yea that's JR

There is Marsha on the right

watching as they cut the great Grooms Cake

her and his sister BJ had bought for him!!!

It was special all right!!!

Topped with a replica of his dog Cabella

a 170 lb. Mastiff

and of course him laying under the tap on that Keg..

It was such a cute cake!!!

This is such a great family photo

of

JR,Mom & his sister BJ

They had no idea until that night

they had bought the same outfit

for this occasion..

JR & my nephew Austin

really did dress alike that night and they looked so cute!

They look like they just got caught taking a sneak taste of that cake!!!

And these life long friends always look this rotten...

They look so happy and ready to start a new chapter in their lives!

To Be Continued...
