congrats to mr. & mrs. pearce!

this past weekend was my dear friend, shellie's wedding! the whole weekend was nothing but perfect... we had a very smooth, timely rehearsal followed up by a nice dinner... then we went back to shellie's new house (with her hubby of course!)...we kicked the guys out for the night and had a girl's slumber party... we laughed till we cried and had soooo much fun reminiscing about the "old days"...probably the best kind of "girl time" you could have! we spent most of friday night sitting on their front porch looking at the BIIIIIG tent with all the lights up, tables, chairs, tablecloths... and of all crazy things, jasmine had found a note shellie had written her in 9th grade (?) about how she would find her mr. right... and how SCARY it sounded to plan a wedding!!

then we woke up saturday morning, showered, went to the salon for hair appointments... had lunch at quiznos then headed to the church for a 5:00 wedding on a slightly-cooler-than-normal july day!!

here's me and shellie...the GORGEOUS bride!!
here's all the bridesmaids with the bride in the middle!
i love this next picture... we're all sitting in a pew w/ our legs crossed...you can sort of see how all of our dresses were different (but they were all black, tea-length, with straps!)
here's me and jennifer (the taker of most of these pictures i've stolen since my battery died saturday morning while we were at the salon!--what timing, huh?)
here's the bride & groom after the ceremony on their way to the reception in the ford thunderbird that shannon's dad refinished before he passed away! how special!
shellie had a photo booth at her reception!! it was SOO fun! lots of props and someone standing there all night to take pictures... you can find me 2nd from the left :) trust me, as the night went on, these pictures got better and better ;)here's a photo-booth picture of me and lee with jenn in the background!and as if the day weren't exciting enough, shannon TOTALLY surprised shellie with A NEW CAR!!! what a wedding gift! her face was PRICELESS when they brought the car around for her to see with that BIG red bow on the front!congrats, shellie & shannon! we love you guys!!! and hope you're having fun in LAS VEGAS on your honeymoon!!
...and since i shouldn't end this post without at least mentioning it... to say that lee "cut a rug" would be an UNDERSTATEMENT! he danced the night away--and i joined him in a song or two :) ...i think lee said it best... "just visualize kevin bacon's character from footloose at a grateful dead concert"--seriously, people were requesting songs for him to dance to!! i'll have to find some pictures from someone!!
