This past weekend, we had the honor of telling a very special story.
Valerie and Bret originally planned to be married on August 13,
but approximately 30 minutes after Val picked up her dress,
Bret called to tell her that he was being deployed.
As a result, the wedding was moved to April 30.
All of her hard work and planning came together beautifully!


An extra special garter...

Daddy's first glimpse of his little girl that he is about to give away.





And Bret's first look at his bride.


The gentlemen and groom's maid...
The limo ride...

Dinner and reception at Bearpath Golf and Country Club, Eden Prairie, MN.









A dance with the princess! 



Joie's dress had a vintage flair with fabric covered buttons.
Jessica, first born of the 3 sisters, Joie being the youngest.
Jessica and husband Tim caught in a special moment.
The chapel had beautiful stained glass windows, allowing beautiful light, but nothing compared to the beauty of the bride. Our Amber and Joie have been friends since they were four years old. They grew up dreaming of this special day and it grips my heart thinking about the Godly young women they have grown into. 






I couldn't resist this one! She had gotten tickled about something.
And the get away! Popcorn!
Joie and Brian, we pray God's richest blessings on your new life together! We are blessed to have been a part.

Eyes only for her groom.
It is almost time for Daddy to give away his little girl.
Families, the very foundation our our nation. These families have taken very seriously the responsibility to raise responsible young people.

...and the infinitely patient...
Thank you Charity and Landan for including us in this precious occasion.
