Newly minted Brooke "Tye"

Brooke is overheard saying "Oh, by the way, now that we're married, I can tell you things...like, I'm a big klutz, so hold me tight down the aisle, otherwise, I'll probably fall."

Mr. & Mrs. Tye

"If we rush, we can get great seats at the reception and be first in line for the buffet! And oh yea, the Band...let's rush to hear the band!"

Brooke's niece, Desiree

And last, but not least...

The Buffet Line

Aubree making sure she chows before the boys eat everything :)

And so the Band plays on...

Brooke's FAVORITE part of the entire wedding day ! She wanted Jon to sing on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.....

Let's hear Nathan sing "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica

Nathan's Parents...Dale & Meriel

Interestingly, about 2-3 months later, Nathan's parents announce they are pregnant. Hmmm...was the conception during the wedding weekend...hmmm

First Dance. And the song was "God Bless Our Love", by Mary Chapin Carpentar

Husband and Wife

Father-Daughter Dance to the song "Butterfly Kisses"

Despite what Brooke's brother says, Brooke is NOT telling her dad "You know, I'm not a virgin" :)

Bride's Parents dance

And the song was ???

Bride's mother and the Groom dance

Anne and Nathan dance

And so starts the honeymoon...

And it all ends with the happy couple driving away to marital bliss...(still glowing of course) and upset that folks dressed up the car alittle too much.
