jordie and ashley's wedding

My brother Jordie married his sweetheart Ashley yesterday!!! The weekend was so much fun and we really enjoyed seeing all of our friends and family at the wedding. We are so happy for Jordie and Ashley and wish them all the best!!!!

Friday night was the rehearsal dinner at the Rathskellar. Jordie and Ashley stood up to thank everyone for coming...
My Uncle Bart, Grandma Parker, and mom.

My brother is the biggest Reds Baseball fanatic that I could ever imagine someone could be. Pete Rose is sort of an idle for him, and when Dan was in Vegas he heard that Pete Rose was there signing autographs. They weren't going to be there at the same time, so Dan made arrangements to have a signature done while they were in the Grand Canyon and picked it up before they came back to Indiana. We gave it to them as a wedding gift.

Jordie was so overwhelmed that he had an authentic autograph specifically made out to "Jordie and Ashley---Congrats", he got choked up when showing everyone! It was really really sweet.


Jordie and Brooke- sibling love. :)

Brooke and Danny...can you see how red his nose is from his trip? :)

My AWESOME grandma! I love her so much! She is one of the sweetest and funniest people I know! My dad in the background...

THE WEDDING DAY IS HERE! Sammi with the bride (and also known as one of her babysitters), Ashley. :)

Sammi hanging out before guests arrive. Always the lady...

Samantha is SO SHY with new people, which made it hysterical that she walked right up to the harpist and put her arms up to hug her!!! She had never met her before! The harpist picked her right up and kept playing with Sam in her lap!!! (This was before the official ceremony started.)

Playing in the rocks near the ceremony site.

The ceremony. The Indiana State Museum is so beautiful and allows for a ceremony outside along the canal and reception inside. This is Ashley walking "down the aisle" with her dad.

My parents watching for her.

Ashley and her dad...almost to Jordie!


See Dan with Sammi at the top of the stairs...this is where they watched the ceremony because Sam decided she did NOT want to sit still when they started! (The people in the foreground are my cousins Dennis and Melanie from Atlanta...we loved seeing them!!!)


The first kiss moment...

And a high five...one of their "things". :)

Mr. and Mrs. Jordan and Ashley Sherman!!!!

Sam goes to bed between 7-8 every night. This was around 11:00pm!!! She was SO tired, but such a trooper!!! My little pumpkin. :)
