Wedding

My brother, Drew got married this past weekend to Ashley Studdard. They are living in Loxley, AL now. Drew is employed with Software Technology in Mobile and Ashley is employed with an interior design firm in Pensacola. Drew and Ashley had been dating for 8 years! Crazy, huh? It's been a long time and it's good to say now that she is officially part of our family. Our families have known each other for years. Ashley's brother, Jerry, and I graduated together and were close growing up. So, we are glad we are family now. They grew up together in the same church which makes it even more special. We had the rehearsal dinner Friday night at J Broussard's. The food was wonderful. My Aunt Resa did the decorating. It was beautiful considering the space we had to work with. The Bridesmaid's luncheon was also there, but on Saturday. The wedding was at 6:00 Saturday Night. It was beautiful and Ashley looked beautiful also. Ashley had 9 bridesmaids and Drew had 10 groomsmen. Bo and I were both in the wedding. My dad was the best man. Brayden wasn't in it, but he got to enjoy all the fun thanks to Mary Martha. She was our Nanny for the day and night. We got to see lots of family and some of them got to see Brayden for the first time. The reception was at the Country Club, where the band and the good food was! Brayden, by the way, could not have been any better. He held up for everything without fussing a whole lot and even slept thru the band playing for a little bit. We figured he would get really tired, but he didn't. They pulled out in a limo at about 9:30 and headed to Mobile to catch their fight to Antigua. I know they are having a good time now. Here are a few pics from the weekend. I left my camera in the car during the rehearsal dinner AND the reception, so I will have to post pics from it later.
