Kristen and Dave's Wedding!!

We just returned home from a fun-filled beautiful wedding weekend celebrating David and Kristen. Enjoy the pictures! Here is the wedding party...

Now, here we go in chronological order... David and Kristen at their rehearsal dinner at Joe T's (a yummy Mexican restaurant near the Stockyards in Fort Worth). We had a great time of listening to sweet stories about the two of them, hearing marriage advice, and watching a wonderful slide show with pictures from birth to the present. Mom and Dad hosted a fun evening with friends and family!

Our table at Joe T's: (David, Kristen, Marianne, Norm, me, Jerry, Grayson, Ashley, Claire, Brett)
The wedding day has arrived!! All of the bridesmaids and the two moms met at Kristen's loft apartment to get their hair and make-up done. Kristen's mom, Paula, gave Mom and me a sweet gift -- our make-up was done by a professional make-up artist! It was very cool! She did our eyes, and then air-brushed our foundation (see Mom getting air-brushed below). This is what she does for the newscasters in Ft. Worth. =)
