Jim + Shelly | Wedding Rehearsal & Reception | 05.2011

He's married. I can't believe it. Jimbo is married. Almost exactly 2 years after Scott and I.

Jim is the first of my younger brothers. He's handsome. He's fun. He's sensitive. He's a musical genius. He's a genius. This kid has a 4.0 GPA and got a 36 on his MCAT. He will make a wonderful husband to his new wife, Shelly :-) I love that girl.

It was a beautiful day. Full of love. And smiles. And cake. And sweat.

I'll let the photos tell the rest of the story. I'm so much more expressive with photography than words... (oh! did I mention that I now have Adobe Photoshop!! Thinking of starting a small photography business on the side...)

My cousin and her boyfriend

Momma did a wonderful job decorating! It was a music theme, since Jimbo has an awesome voice and plays the guitar.

All guests signed a record that was sitting in an old turn-table.

They were married in the gazebo seen in the background.
