Whose in your frame...

Needless to say I didn't get this finished the last couple nights...so I will see how far I go tonight...

and NO...this has been quite some time and as I was going through pics I seen that this was still hanging out there and since it was Derek's birthday...Happy Birthday...NOW back to February...

A day off and this morning when I looked at the date...February 18...my mom and dad's wedding anniversary...also the anniversary of when the shepherd asked me to marry him...not the day I answered but that's another story...

So since I had wedding on the mind...I thought I would put some pics of a wedding that I got to work with Jeff Rylant and his amazing assistant Tonya as we got to take pics of the Impson wedding for Sarah and Derek...

As I headed out the door to go to the wedding I seemed to be reminded of an idea of maybe taking along a picture frame...and see if we might use it...My prayer for the day was JOY for the day...and was fun to watch as the joy that seemed to be captured in the frame...how I seen people put on smiles...and some people I would ask who they wanted in their frame...most did not want someone to have to be in the frame by themselves...I think there is something to this...Who do you want in your frame?  Even though I have actually been called the crazy lady with the frame...QUIET!!!

There are some instances that you want just a snapshot to capture a moment...but those pictures that you frame...those are the ones that say...this is someone special to me or I want to remember this always.  I go through and pull out some of those "frame" pics and a comment or two on part of them...(I did "Pennify" them a little...so I didn't do a whole bunch and still have many other favorites...but I pull out a few...)



Isn't that cool how Sarah had this embroidered on her dress...

Of course your brothers are in your frame...

Your best man...no matter when he gets there...the point is He was there!





Times of fun...Father of the groom and a drive by bunny...

 



 The Groom and Mom and Dad...

 Close up...framing a mama's love...a father's pride...and a young man's joy...

 

 

OR who are these guys...thought these were just funny...

nothing like good friends who make you laugh!

 

 And no matter how grown up you may be...you will always be her baby...

 And the roots go deep... (Gotta love those grandparents)

And this one well just look at that face...

 And so here comes the bride's side...

 And a beautiful bride she was...


And the joy of little ones is contagious...


Well there would be a lot more joy if my mom were closer...
and I wasn't sitting up here...



Friends in our frames...
okay this one didn't have a frame but it was one of my fave's...


Proud parents...
who just want the best for their baby girl...

Ahhh the love...of a mama and a daddy...

 

And those daddy's love you a long time...

 

 Even before they see you...


SO I SAY MAY YOU DANCE...

 Not just your wedding day....but always...

 Okay for you wondering...had two different backgrounds...

 Dance like no one is watching...

 

 

 May you remember to have FUN in your frame
(this couple made me laugh...WORK IT!)

 

 
Remember to pay attention to the SWEETNESS
 (okay in fairness,
the best man I don't think thought I was getting him...just the cake!)

 Remember to show your love...
My partners in crime...so much fun taking pics with you...

 

 

 And so me and Uncle Tim say God bless as you travel this journey...
