Katie & Kristofer's Wedding

In January 2013, Kristofer brought his girlfriend, Katie Parrish, with him to our annual MLK weekend get together. I hoped and prayed that she was the one for him because she seemed so great and he seemed so happy and he deserves the best! Over a year later, they were engaged and a date was set for them to be married! The boys went to Austin for a bachelorette party a couple months before and Katerina and I got to attend a wedding shower for Katie in Hunstville. But, finally the big week arrived! First, we got to have Whitney in town for a few days before! Woohoo! Then, GG came into town to keep our kids for the weekend and Vic and I loaded up to go to Huntsville. Honestly - it was SO nice to not have to bring kids and a bonus to only have to drive an hour!

It was the most fun weekend! We were with so many of our favorite people; it was a beautiful wedding; we were so relaxed; we were chauffeured back and forth between the hotel and the venue (the venue happened to be Katie's parents house); they included me in hair and makeup (which was so thoughtful!); and we laughed until it hurt! We are so glad Katie and Kristofer found one another; God is so good! They were married on September 27, 2014.

So, I have many pictures. I cannot even begin to describe how beautiful everything was. They had a gorgeous backyard bar and pool for the rehearsal and wedding; there was a walkway to these giant old bank doors that Katie and Kristofer got married in front of; there was a tent put up with a/c, bathrooms, a dancefloor, piano band, gorgeous details in place settings and centerpieces; delicious food; and so much fun! And Katie's parents and family are the most thoughtful, generous people. I'll just let a few pictures do the talking...here are some from my phone during the weekend.
