Wedding Pics

Here are a few pics from the big wedding Sunday evening.

Mark was there as well but this was a quick snap with the mother of the bride before the ceremony.
 This is a view of the wedding site. You can see the ropes hung from tree to tree. Windows were suspended from the ropes to give an idea of a room or an enclosed area. The picture doesn't do the site justice for the work involved or the intimacy of it.
 This is a mantle at the front of the site where the ceremony was held. What was unknown was that there was an M80 (? since I don't know fireworks) hidden behind the logs and a battery trigger on the back of the mantle. The best man reached behind and lit the firework when Whit and Josh were announced as husband and wife. Another interesting tidbit is that the cross is sitting on the mantle for the ceremony as it was suspended from the ropes as well. However, the day before and earlier in the day it was not on the mantle but the humidity caused the rope to sag and lower the cross.
 This is precious Emma entering the wedding.
 The best pic I have of the beautiful bride and her introspective father. The wedding was even more special as Josh's father is a minister. He personalized the wedding of his son and a wonderful girl that the Bateman's have known essentially her entire life as well.
 Had to share this picture to show Emma. She certainly knows what a camera is. When one is pointed at her she immediately grins and if you don't get the picture fast enough she throws her head back continuing her cheesy grin. What a sweetheart.

Thank you so much for these pictures. Everything looks so beautiful and unique! Kinda wonder just what thoughts were going through Joey's mind in that picture. Glad everything went well and certainly wish the newlyweds a lifetime of love and joy together.

Well there is no picture of the groom posted because I don't have a picture of him. : ) I'll see what I can do about posting the ones you would like to see.
