I know you are wondering if I'll ever stop talking about Kati and Andrew's wedding! But I have this post and one more lined up, and then I will stop. (At least, after that I won't have any more whole posts about the wedding. Deal?)
In this post, I am going to show you the people . . . so many people who are near to Kati's and Andrew's hearts!
(You may will see some tousled hair in these shots as the weather was beautiful, but breezy!)

Andrew and Kati with their nieces and nephews
It was important to Andrew and Kati that every single one of their nieces and nephews (including the children of Andrew's cousin who have always called him "Uncle Andrew") would have a special role to play in their special day.
So this group consists of two guest book attendants, two ushers, three singers, one Scripture reader, three flower girls, and three ring bearers! (Kati's nine-month-old nephew Judah and Andrew's six-week-old nephew Maddox were named the "official criers," although thankfully, they did not fulfill those roles during the wedding! Baby Maddox is not in this photo, but he is seen in a couple below.)

Wedding Bliss {Part 3: The People}
Coming soon . . .
Have to comment! 😉 Such a joyous day and one for the memory books now. I hope that the newlyweds are doing great and are very well on their way to a beautiful marriage for God’s glory. Love seeing all these family members who lovingly support Kati and Andrew. And I really like the blue.,.looks so flattering on the attendants. Again, Kati was one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen and I am not one bit biased here.
ReplyDeleteGirl, you really should be resting, but I am so happy that you're feeling well enough to comment! ♥
DeleteIt really was such a joyous day! The newlyweds are doing well, enjoying the process of making Andrew's home into their home together. (Makes me want to hop on a plane and see all of the changes in person . . . and you know that I hate to fly!)
Although I am biased, I agree that Kati was a gorgeous bride!
And again...I am high on steroids. Can't sleep. I feel as if I could clean my house, including the basement. I figure reading blogs is as much rest as I can provide for myself. I was out scrubbing the front steps at 6 a.m. I can't go on like that. LOL!
DeleteScrubbing the front steps at 6 a.m.?! At least you're productive! Hope you'll get some rest somewhere along the line. ♥
DeleteThe picture of the bride and groom holding their own parents' wedding photo is really touching. I don't think I've ever seen that before. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sallie! I love that too!
DeleteAnd thanks for visiting Thinking About Home. :)
DeleteIt was a beautiful wedding, and I was so honored to be invited. Kati was radiant and Andrew was so happy. Beautiful, nor gorgeous photos. Frances and Gary did an amazing job.
ReplyDeletemeant to say 'Beautiful, no, Gorgeous photos!'
DeleteWe were honored that you made the time to come! So nice to have you share the day with us!
DeleteIndeed, Frances and Gary did an extraordinary job with the wedding photos!
I have followed your blog for a long time and never posted but the wedding pictures you have posted are just beyond words. Katie was absolutely the prettiest bride. I love all the things like the pictures of their parents, Mr and Mrs signs, the balloons, just all of it. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, thanks so much for taking the time to leave such kind words about the wedding, the photos, and the bride! I am happy to have you introduce yourself.
Delete(But please feel free to continue to follow along . . . comments or no! I am just happy to know that you are in my blogging "family"!)
Love your sharing the wedding photos! Beautiful bride and as someone stated above, the wedding pictures of both sets of parents was a really special touch.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, GrammaGrits! I am glad that you're enjoying the wedding photos!
Deletewhat an inspired, Godly, celebration.
ReplyDeleteshare as long as you wish.. i'm not complaining! ♥
You are so kind, Sherry! It was such a beautiful day for us, but I don't want to bore my readers. Thank you for reassuring me that I am not! ♥
DeleteI feel the same as Sherry above, "share as long as you wish." The photos are absolutely brimming with joy! I especially like the black and white ones! They are exquisite. Such a happy time for your family, Cheryl. Your Kati is a lovely woman and a beautiful bride. You all look wonderful! I'm looking forward to the next set of memories.
ReplyDeleteI have such wonderful blog friends . . . friends who share our joy! I am thankful for your encouragement to share our memories in photos. Thank you for your sweet words! ♥
DeleteGreat captures of all involved with the wedding. Love the idea of Kati and Andrew holding the photos of parents' wedding photo. Cute! If you come up with more to share go for it. So much went into this day it's good to document it all. May God bless Andrew and Kati with peace, love and joy in their marriage.
ReplyDeleteI will "go for it" one more time! I am working on a post about the wedding reception. :)
DeleteIf you're like me, many is the time that you refer to your blog to check a date or a memory. It is good to document!
Thank you for the marriage blessing for Andrew and Kati!
More beautiful photos. And new ideas! Never saw the balloons before...nor a photo holding the parents' wedding photos! And yes, the black and white are stunning! It's obvious so much care and thought went into this day. Keep the posts coming as you enjoy the memories!
ReplyDeleteYou are right. A lot of care and thought went into this day. Kati is very organized. She had only four months to plan, but plan she did! She had a binder that went everywhere she went and lists galore!
DeleteFrances had some great ideas for photographs! She is an artist!
I love the balloons! What a wonderful wedding day with so many great photos capturing each beautiful moment...memories to cherish for a lifetime! I'm not bored yet! Bring on the rest! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debby! Yes, such memories to cherish! So happy I haven't bored my readers! :)
DeleteCan we ever have too many wedding photos? We all love weddings. So post away. They are so much fun to look at and we love catching those lovely glimpses of your family.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue theme. Great ties!
And I do love those Black & White photos -- they are darling.
Thanks for sharing...

And thank you for sharing our joy!
DeleteI loved the blue too. I thought the royal blue was the perfect backdrop to the blue of the hydrangeas (a flower that both Kati and Andrew love).
Those are some great and to be treasured family photos!!! There can never be too many wedding photos ... keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rosella!
DeleteI have so many sweet readers encouraging me to keep on going! One more wedding post coming up this week!
Dear dear Cheryl, Oh what a joy for me to visit you this afternoon, I have so enjoyed reading about Kati and Andrew"s wedding, it was so beautiful and so spiritual, certainly ordained by a loving heavenly Father ,and planned by such a loving family. I guess it's okay to cry as I have joyous tears, it has been such a joy for me that you have shared your family these few years, I have seen Kati grow into such a beautiful young woman, and Bekka too, as well as the growing of your family. May God continue to bless and keep all of you in His loving care.
ReplyDeleteYou were beautiful too, and both you and Ron were absolutely beaming with pride and love.
Congratulations and best wishes to all!
Love,
Sue
Oh, it certainly was a joyful day for all of us . . . so happy that you could share some of it vicariously! Your kind words mean so much!
DeleteLove right back to you, Sue!
