My Brother's Wedding

***Blogspot was acting very strangely, so that's why the pics/text are everywhere.***

Sunday was my brother's wedding.  I was almost as excited for his wedding as I was for my own!  The weekend started out with the rehearsal on Saturday and then the girls in the wedding went to get pedicures and manicures. Everyone in their wedding party was so fun!

 The wedding itself was a lot of fun, too.  It was beautiful outside, which is where the ceremony and formal pictures were.

Here are some formal pictures (well, pictures of what the formal pictures were of):

Instead of doing a garter toss, they did a foot-washing ceremony to represent what Jesus did.

                                 
I've always told Ben that I want him to marry someone who has no sisters so that I can be her sister.  Well, he did!  Julia is my age and has a brother Ben's age, but no sisters (well, her brother got married about 2 weeks before Dave and I did, so she has a sister-in-law).  I was so happy when I found that out!  I can't wait to develop a better sister-friendship with Julia over the years. =)

After the wedding, a bunch of us went bowling (in our wedding attire, of course).  It was interesting to see some of the looks people were giving us.                                                                                                                                               
Congratulations again to my brother and my new sister! =)
