Holy Matrimony

This summer Charlie’s brother Andy got married!  I love his wife Jennifer, she is a keeper!

Jennifer’s Bridal Shower

The festivities kicked off with a shower at my house hosted by me, my mom, and Sally (Charlie’s sister).  It was a very quaint and sweet shower!

Me and Jennifer at the showerIt is pretty funny because we have a few things in common:  we both grew up in Mesquite, both graduated from Poteet High School, we are both nurses (or going to be, Jennifer will graduate from UT’s nursing school in May), and we both of course have good taste in men, ha ha!

Jennifer and her mom I promise I had other pictures from the shower, but with all the camera and computer confusion over the past few months, who knows where they are.  Probably still on one of the three cameras that I was using at the time.

Couples Shower

We also went to Andy and Jennifer’s shower.  Craig and Tammy Cooper had a great couples shower for them!  It was a lot of fun!

Bridal Portraits

I was so excited to be a part of Jennifer’s bridal portraits!  I actually ended up doing her hair and make-up!  It was so much fun to spend time with her on this special day!

The Bachelorette Party

Jennifer’s Bachelorette party was so fun!  We met at her aunt’s house, then took a stretch hummer to Primo’s for dinner.  We had the limo all night so we headed to Pete’s Piano bar, did some dancing, truth or dare, then back to her aunt’s for lingerie shower and slumber party!  I did not get any pictures of the Bachelorette party because I forgot my camera, but here are a few from Jennifer.
