Erin's Wedding

Last Saturday, July 12 was Erin and Thomas' wedding. It was held in Bloomington at a Nazarene Church. They attend Twin City Bible Church in Champaign, but wanted to get married in Bloomington, so the Nazarene church was rented.

Erin was a beautiful bride in a gorgeous white bridal gown with a train. Her bridesmaids wore red dresses. She had 5 attendants, Bonnie was maid of honor and Lauren was a bridesmaid along with 3 of her friends. The church was full with about 250 guests.

The reception was held at Miller Park Pavilion with Hors D'oeuvres first and then a sit down dinner for 250 people. Everything was very good and the room was nicely decorated.

They are in Colorado on their honeymoon this week. Thomas is from Mahomet and graduated from the U of I (as did Erin) this spring in Engineering.. He will go to Grad school in the fall. He is a very nice young man and a devoted Christian. Larry and Barb and the girls really like him and Larry considers him as a son he never had. Erin has a job in Rantoul as a second grade teacher. They will live in Urbana.

Keith and I are resting up this week. We hope to go to Colorado sometime in September.

Thanks for the post about the wedding. I have been impressed with Erin and Thomas and he seems a great addition to their family. Any pictures out there??

I don't have a digital camera and I don't think Larry is on the blog. Maybe I can talk him into getting on the blog. Up until now he has been very busy with the wedding. So, no pictures yet.

Aunt Alice--if you could get Larry or Barb to email me a couple of photos at annbailes@bellsouth.net, I'll post them. The wedding sounds like it was beautiful! Thanks, Ann
