Two more friends have gotten married: James and Bethany :D.

Bethany Jennings is now...Bethany Jennings! Haha. That doesn't happen very often :D. Dan Sem was the main photographer and he asked me to second shoot for him :). It was so fun being a part of the day :D.





The crazy-awesome Rebekah Gates did the hair :D. This is her doing Evangeline's (Bethany's younger sister and maid of honor :) ). Evangeline is so wonderful :D.



And here's Bethany! She is such a sweetheart and just so adorable :).





Bethany's mom, Mrs. Terri, chatting with Bethany's good friend Jamie whose last name is now Skinner!! (as of a few weeks ago :D ).



See how precious she is?! :D



Bethany was so calm and easy-going :).



And her dress was sooo beautiful!!



and MODEST!! We were all in awe. Haha :D.



I love these sisters so much :D.







Bethany has the cutest laugh :D.









Sooo happy!! :D

I loved that James spoke as well! It was so good :).





Bro. Bob spoke too :).





Bro. Wes and Mrs. Jill Belling sang a really sweet song he wrote for Mrs. Jill a long time ago :).



Bro. Tim Conway was the main speaker.

And this is James's best man: David Luciano :).



So thankful for the Lord allowing Bro. Bob to attend :'). (For those who don't know, Bro. Bob has had pancreatic cancer for almost 2 years now. I would encourage you to read his journal about life since then; his life is an incredible testimony to God's grace.)
