The Ceremony

Perfect little ring bearers...I was so proud, they both said they were going to be shy but they did awesome!

The girls have done this before so they were pros...they knew exactly what to do.

Father and daughter...this is the baby of the family so it was very emotional.  My older sister caught me crying and started to cry too.  She kept saying "Stop it now Tracie!" 

Tavein was so happy, Dad was so proud.

The beautiful happy couple, Jared and Tavein.

This was actually their 1 year anniversary...they actually got married July 21, 2011 right before Jared left for Afghanistan.  They wanted to celebrate their anniversary by doing the "big" wedding for all the family and friends since most of us couldn't make the original ceremony.  It was a beautiful ceremony.

Sabrina and I acted as co-maids of honor...I'm taller so got the job of standing next to the bride.  I left Sabrina in charge of the ring though since she is the more responsible one; she handed it to me at the right time.  Everything was flawless. 

Ring exchange...

They incorporated their baby boy, Jaxon into the ceremony by pouring sand into the unity vase.

Jaxon even had his little hands on his vase helping out.

A few final words.

Then they sealed it with a kiss (which I did not get on film).

Jared used to be a member of the Honor Guard so he was allowed to have one at his wedding.  It was awesome mixed with some bubbles.

They drove away in Jared's friend's Cobra...very pretty car!  And on to the reception!
