a little pre-wedding

my incredible sisters-in law and i threw the bridesmaids brunch on friday morning. bethany and kelly made wonderful scones and quiche from scratch and we gathered, stopped, ate, and prayed for sweet char and her marriage. it was such a delightful time. we were thankful to use a neighbor's house for this event since ours was a little busy already...thanks diane!

my brother abe and bethany came from india and stayed with us all week to help get ready. they were in charge of music so abe sat around like this a lot and organized the other musicians and such while bethany helped out pretty much everywhere cooking and cleaning and decorating and below choreographing the first dance. side note: it was SO fun to be able to spend so much time with the incredible women who are my sisters-in law. i am so thankful for you!

as it turns out, the couple ran out of time to practice their dance so they opted for a more simple version of swaying and spinning.

abe and bethany brought back 12 pairs of hand-made shoes from inda for the groomsmen.
