Last month we headed over to Joplin, MO for a beautiful pre-Christmas wedding. Andrea and I had exchanged some phone calls and lots of e-mails, and we had even met her sweet parents at Shannon and Shawn's wedding back in August. However, I hadn't met Andrea face to face yet, I didn't even know what she looked like! When we got to the church that morning, we started walking down a hall to find everyone. We passed a couple girls, then this smiley, energetic girl came towards us and I just knew it had to be Andrea. It was!! And I knew within a minute that I was going to reeeeeaally like this girl. =)
Sure enough! Andrea is a real go-getter and took charge of her big day. Not in a mean, bossy way at all... but rather, with assertiveness and calm. She's as nice as can be and her direction helped the day move so smoothly. When we met Ty, I thought, "what a perfect match". They just seem to "fit". He's a super nice guy too!
The ceremony was very sweet. There were lots of smiles and tears on everyone's part. Andrea's Dad sang... are you kidding me?!? How did he do that?!? It was great. The church was also beautifully decorated for Christmas. Why not take advantage of that!? Great idea.
Afterward, they had a simple, perfect reception with a homemade cookie bar (complete with adorable labels), a hot drink bar with hot chocolate, coffee, cider, and all the toppin's. (On that note, let me interject. When I hear the word "toppin's", I can't help but remember Miss Congeniality. You know the line.... no? Sandra Bullock takes pizza into the gym where all the contestants are working out. Of course, she starts digging in while the girls drooling. Miss Rhode Island sweetly says "at least scrape off the toppin's" before all the girls devour the pizza. Guess you had to be there... anyway, enough of that... back to the wedding.)
Like I was saying, the reception was the perfect winter treat! I'm so glad we got to know these two. They were wonderful to work with and so were all of their families and friends! We truly had a great time.
