Wedding Prep

As the number of days till the wedding grew shorter, wedding preparation took on more of an urgency.  There was so much to be done Mike and I needed help.  And we got it.  The key questions remained though -would we get it all done in time?

All the pond play equipment needed to be cleaned.
Even Frankie tried to help.  At least I think that is what he is doing.  

Mike and Emily cleaned the concrete porches with a tool I gave Mike for Christmas two years ago.
I knew it would come in handy.  Eventually.    

Kathy, my sister,  helped by unpacking one of the many boxes that UPS man delivered to the pond.
This one had the table runners that were a little wrinkled.    

Eli teamed up with Heath and got to learn how to use an electric drill in the process.  

It was hard to capture Heath on camera as he was everywhere.  

Baleigh, Suzanne and Sela decorated the gazebo while
Andy and Jackson were busy cleaning moss out of the pond.  

Caitlin, the maid of honor, was pressed into service as the sign writer.
Here she is making a last minute but very important addition to our sign postings.  

Heath and his mother Staci decorated the walls of Morton Building #2 for the wedding.
Heath and his brother Jordan handled the lighting on the ceiling.
In this picture Emily, Laura and Aunt Kathy are using the leftover fabric to decorate the wedding parties chairs
for the reception.  

Staci, Heath's mom, with assistance from Baleigh, Heath's sister,  made the wedding cupcakes.
You can see why she needed several days to work on these.
She made four different kinds.
