Be prepared in Grayton for heavy traffic and parking nightmare on Saturday afternoon. The little girl who grew up playing at the dock on Western Lake and swimming in the Emerald Green will be saying "I do" right there where her heart has always been. I don't want to hear anything about noise ordinance either!

Please be in prayer for her Mama Sis (the most precious one) who has not been well for the first time in 84 years. you may have seen her wearing a crown in the 4th of July Parade. She's our queen!

What a nice post, Lil' Sis! You got pretty fancy with the links and all.

We are all looking forward to this family wedding....lots of us are participating and it will be a special celebration. We are all happy for the couple and wish them love and laughter forever together.

Thanks for the prayer request, too. Even if you don't know our mom, we would appreciate the prayers. The wedding won't be the same if we don't have her smiling face and whole hearted laughter.

Good idea to warn the folks about traffic and noise on Saturday afternoon / evening. Come join the party if we get too loud.

[Rita]

Prayers for your Mom's health and a wonderful celebration coming your way!

[Jdarg]

TOO much fun! Here's to good health for your mom, best wishes for the happy couple, beautiful weather for the big day, and lots of celebrating! Cheers in advance!

[steele mama]

Thanks Rita and jdarg. I appreciate the good wishes!

[Smiling JOe]

I hope she is able to go to the wedding, because I want to meet her. I am sending her some good thoughts.

She is indeed a character. Now you know where we get all of our personalty! It ain't from the Colonel that's for sure!

Thanks for the good thoughts, SJ. We want her to meet you, too. She is the "queen" of our family for sure! Even though we have a number of "wanna bes"!

Your photos are amazing all the time. What a talent you have. On that note, I'm just wondering if you might take our family sunset photo on Saturday, Dec10th? We usually just grab a random sunset person and ask them to take our picture, but what a nice thought to have you take it this year. We all take our cameras, but then can't all be in the picture.

See you this weekend, I hope.

Steele Mama, that's the sweetest post I've ever read, your describing your daughter saying her "I do" where her heart has always been. I hope I am lucky enough to write the same about my daughter when she's old enough to marry.

Best wishes to the bride! Congratulations to the groom!

And thanks for the traffic report! We're arriving on Saturday, so we'll be sure to take the PCB route instead of our regular GB route! (Although we might not be able to resist biking over to GB to see a wild wedding party in action... )

[seagrovelover]

I bet those will be some seriously interesting decorations!!

Wait a minute- I thought you went to church yesterday??

I did go to Church... at the RedBar. Who says that you need a steeple to know God?

Wow, I have a lump in my throat just reading this, and I haven't even met any of you! Just so sweetly written and heartfelt.
And prayers for Mama Sis--I hope she gets to attend and enjoy the day!
Congrats and blessings!

No steeples necessary for us. If we lived down there, we would go to that church every Sunday! I do love a good choir.

Thanks to everyone. Today Mama Sis is at the Mayo Clinic in JAX. We know she is in good hands and all that matters is that she feels better.

Looks like the weather is going to hold out for a beautiful wedding on Saturday!

[Jennifer Steele]

I am the bride-to-be, and I thank all of you for the sweet words of encouragement regarding the wedding and my grandmother.

The groom and I are so excited! And although we will be hosting a party for more than 350 people, our family mottos has become "the more, the merrier" so please stop by and say hello! Biking is encouraged, though. (I wonder if we'll get busted by the cops.)

We'll keep you updated on the chaos and fun!

I was just at the Dread website, hate to ask a stupid question, but who is the groom?

That is not a stupid question. He is the goodlooking one.
Just kidding, Kyle, Justin and Kenny. He is the mandolin player with the golden locks.

Peapod, have you listened to the music? It's amazing!

No, I haven't, but I will!
Hoping they have mp3's on the site...

[Miss Kitty]

You might remember I sent a DC/CD* to the son at school. He really likes it!!! Unlike the clothes I buy for him!

* Great title for next CD!

[Mermaid]

Steeleing1, will you tell us more about your wedding? What does your dress look like? Are you saying "I do" outdoors or in? Are your sisters bridesmaids?

Enquiring minds want to know!
