(Warning: Lots of pictures…just be prepared)

Let’s just say this wedding was one of the most gorgeous weddings I have ever attended. The ceremony was beautiful. Shauna and Gabe looked stunning and so in love and the backyard reception was over the top, elegant, romantic and just gorgeous. The weather was PERFECT! And when I say perfect, I mean, 75 degrees with a slight breeze. The Nickersons know how to throw a party. They thought of everything!

I didn’t get as many photos as I would have liked, but I was a bridesmaid and Seth was busy with family members and wrangling our toddler. Some of the photos you see are taken by other people. Thanks to our family and friends who helped us with the pictures.

The happy couple.

I’m sure you are wondering who the ring bearer was…My sweet little man did such a great job! He made his momma proud. We weren’t sure if a 13 month old would actually sit in a wagon while the flowers girls pulled him down the aisle, but to everyone surprise, he did! He was amazed by all the people looking at him and loved getting pushed in the wagon. (Thanks to Noni’s daughter, Kerry, who took this picture.)

It was just the most adorable moment when they walked down the aisle. One of the cousins, Molly, tossed petals and the other cousin Lydia, pulled Abel in a wagon. Abel just watched the crowed in amazement. I was so worried he would try to jump out, but he didn’t. It was such a great moment!

Thanks to Lacy for doing my hair and make-up!

My handsome boys

My new family

Gabe has 5 SISTERS and one brother!

The only way we could get Abel to participate in photos was if he could chew on a stick.

They made homemade strawberry jam as favors…yummy!

Trying to get a family picture of the 3 of us is harder then it looks…

Just some fun ones

Abel really loved drinking the water that was storing the water bottles…lovely, I know.

I have more of my adorable love man, but I’ll save those for another post since this one already is out of control.

There were fireworks too!

CONGRATS SHAUNA AND GABE!!!
