Not Such a Samo Wedding!!

As I mentioned in my previous blog Stephanie, Dad and I were on our way to our Cousin Wade's wedding. This was just a quick "night trip" to Iowa but it was well worth the trip!

I have tons of pictures so let me take you through the wedding! Here we go.....


First, let me set the stage. The wedding was held at the Bride Tia's parent's house. It is beautiful!! This is a photo of the barn that the reception was held in after the wedding. Pretty barn I have ever been in!!!

Here is the alter that Wade and Tia got married under. I loved it!!

Here is the pond off to the right of the alter. It was so beautiful and the weather was amazing! They couldn't have asked for a better evening! Mother Nature much like Wade and Tia!!
For my fellow ATWT watchers this is what I imagined the Snyder Pond to look like......

Steph and Dad waiting for the wedding to start. I was mingling with others so I missed being in the photo. Thanks guys for not waiting for me.

Wade walking his Grandma Lois down the aisle. She looked great!

All the Samo boys helping Grandpa Shorty to his seat. It meant a lot to everyone to have him there. He even had his own special chair to sit in! : )

The beautiful Mother of Groom hugging her boy. Tacy looked AMAZING!! She was such a proud Mom!!

Waiting for the Bride.......

Here comes the Bride.....she looked beautiful!

After all the vows and the formal stuff they finally got to do what they had been waiting for....sealing the deal with a kiss!!!

Introducing Tia and Wade Samo!!!!!

After dinner the reception began and this is when everyone let loose and had fun. It was time for us to go hang out with our Iowa family that we don't get to see very often.

Here is Dad with his Uncle Shorty. Notice Uncle Shorty still has his special chair!! : )
