The Wedding... The Guys!

Now I'm probably not the one that should be writing about these guys since I have known them for such a short time..
But I'm going to give it a shot...

Another Awesome Picture...
and you get a really good look at those fantastic Guys!
The Best Man...
Shawn & JR
These two guys grew up together as next door neighbors...
Now when I say next door, it really means next door.
Out in the country next door means you couldn't see their house from his!!! LOL
I can only imagine these two running down that road to each others houses..
or riding their bicycles & later motorcycles.
As rotten as these two are now I can't imagine their High School Years!
and I don't want to know!
After School they both joined the Service
Both went over seas..
JR did two tours in Iraq
and Shawn  was in Iraq also...


Pat, JR & Shawn
You see what I mean they even look rotten...


But Boy Do They Clean Up Well !!
Three good looking guys...
These three along with Chad have been friends since their school years they have just always been together...

When Amanda was in Jr High she met Chad and some other friends
that she has been friends with ever since.

Now they met at a local bowling alley just right down the street, just by chance...
the three of us girls went down one night to bowl a few games
and there was Chad  with a couple of friends 2 lanes down...
Flirting with my girls all night!

Not even living in the same county they started coming down every week and talking on the phone.
They would even come down after church on Sunday mornings and LET me cook brunch for them!!! LOL

None of them ever dated they just became really good friends through the years...
I always told Amanda some day she would marry a Lincoln High School Guy...

We just all hit it off that night.
They were good kids and I love them all.
I always still get hugs every time I see them. What memories of those years we will always have!
Than when JR came home from the Service he was with these guys when she met him...
and the rest is history...

The clincher in this relationship was
She told him she carried her Golf Clubs and her Fishing Pole in her trunk of her car at all times
Just in case the stream looked good or it was a beautiful day to play a round of golf!!!

Of course he didn't believe her until she let him look...
She was just a Good Ole Girl!!!

Mark, Warren, Pat, JR, Shawn, Chad & Mike

Mike... or should I say Uncle Mike. Yea he is JR Uncle so yea they have known each other for ever... I got to meet him a few years ago and he is a lot of fun. Mike always has his guitar with him and Friday night was no different... Well after the storm he got it out and just started playing it. It really lightened the mood. We even laughed a few times at the guys singing right along with him... of course by that time I had had a few drinks and things were beginning to look better or maybe it was just because it was getting darker and with no power it was getting really dark! LOL

Now Mark and Warren came into the picture a few years ago. JR worked with Mark for a while and that is how they became great friends and Warren met Amanda at the mall where she works at a local Restaurant. They just all hit it off and started hanging out together. These are great guys and they are lucky to have each other... Life takes it's twists and turns and you just never know when you are going to meet someone that will be lasting friends... I think this group will be like our six couples have been for years, at least I hope so!!!

JR and Shawn up front...

Pat, Mark, Warren, Mike & Chad...

They could be models...

Oh wait maybe it was just this wonderful Photographer that made them look this good!!! LOL

It took an army to get this crew ready for this wedding... You don't see most of them dressed  like this too ofter. If it weren't for Kayla and Pat tying all those ties... well you get my point!!! LOL

JR hates to have his picture taken and his cousin was the Photographer, I don't know how she got him to take so many great pictures but I'm sure glad she did..

Well I hope I did these guys justice, because they are the Greatest!!
To Be Continued...
