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. :wub: 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!

I would just like to reaffirm to EVERYONE that this was the most amazing day of all of our lives! The most "elated" and perfect couple, amazing and loving people, beautiful place, and most wonderous occassion could not have been better. Steeleing1 and BWPS look forward to a long life full of happiness, love and peace! No one ever knew that someone as magnificent as her, and perfectly wonderful as him, would really find their way into eachothers lives! I am crying just thinking about it, i dont think i could be happier for my big sis. :clap_1:
Thanks to all who cared so much about this day...mermaid came down to the party with her hub and hung out with steele mama and the whole family for quite a while!

SJ, those photos are fabulous! I didn't even see your camera, but you took some great shots. You were a big help with getting things ready for the event and everyone thanks you.

Wonderful party and fun for all. I must say that Jennifer did an unbelievable job in planning and executing this wedding. Of course, she had a lot of help from friends (AMY) and family. We have had lots of events in our yard, but this raises the bar for future events.

Thanks for all the photos, Joe.

Mermaid, it was nice to meet you and 'man, too. Thanks for stopping by the madness.

Love Rules!

Oldtimer, that was the most beatiful wedding which I have attended, and a great party followed. I can not recall going to a party at 3:30pm and leaving around midnight, and wishing it had not ended so quickly. There were plenty of people there when I left, but I knew that some people had to go to bed.

I was telling someone yesterday that what made the wedding so great was the overwhelming sense of "good" family from everyone who attended. Also, while there was obviously much planning, it seemed that everyone, including Jennifer, the Bride, was very relaxed and happy. The pink house was the perfect setting and the yard was decorated very nicely.

ps- I read several posts noting that I helpied decorate, but the truth is that while I did pitch in, there were so many people running around setting up the place, including co-workers of Steeleing2 (who has not registered) and Steeleing3, other family memebers and friends, all of whose names I cannot recall. Jennifer and Baulder were also busy setting up, in addition to everything else going on. There were many people who helped with small things to make the event so tremendous and memorable and I am glad to have been a small part. :D

Wow, that says it all right there--a relaxed bride is a miracle! The Steeleing crew definitely got it right!

Okay, I have some more photos from the wedding posted here. Can you spot at least six SoWal posters in this photo???:D
I only see 5....who am I missing? Thank you so much for the pictures Joe, and also for the help. You had a small part in the decorating and a large part in the party! Can't wait to see MORE!! ;-)

I have to add that this wedding was more than I could ever imagine. Thank you all for all your good wishes. Thanks to God for the great day and all the love that was present. Nice to meet you Mermaid and Merman. Y'all are so sweet and Jen and Balder loved the gift. They opened them on Sunday.

Thanks to the entourage that helped do everything! "When we all work together.....how happy we'll be!" Ain't it the truth!

PS Mama Sis made the wedding and got a clean bill from the doctor. Still not feeling the best but getting the care she needs. Thanks for your prayers.

Well...I have 1 down and 3 to go! :D :bang: :wub: :eek:

Actually, you are correct. Not until today, did I realize that Steeleing2 is not registered on SoWal, so that would make five. I clean up nicely, eh?:floor:

Now from looking at the picture, I know how I received my bruise. :funn:I guess the weight load of the plastic chairs is about the same as my ladder which is around 250#. Fortunately, the chairs held much more before giving way.

I just had an interesting conversation with the photographer of this picture. Shed some light on some of my :confused: . That is a lot of weight! :eek: I know how you hate those bruises! ;-) One of the lurkers wasn't feeling so well (I got interrupted by steeleing1) but was better on Sunday!
