Other highlights from the pre-wedding festivities:
On Tuesday we stuffed the out-of-town hotel bags with homemade goodies, crackers, water, headache medicine and brochures outlining the highlights of North Alabama. {Several in-town guest said they were going to check in the hotel just to get a bag!}
On Thursday Mary Reese and I got a pedicure with the bride-to-be {Stacey picked out Second Honeymoon for all of us}.
On Friday we had a delicious and delightful lunch at Cahoots with all of the bridesmaids and flower girls where she handed out these:
The bridesmaid gifts {a bag, some flops and a cookbook that I put together with recipes and pictures submitted from all the bridesmaids, family and other friends}.
She also presented all the flower girls and ring bearers with T-shirts to wear on the day of the wedding {and beyond}.
The bride's side of the nieces and nephews {minus Owen}. David and Stacey have 8 nieces and nephews between them {soon to be 9}...6 of them were in the wedding. Amazingly they all walked down the aisle {herded by yours truly...I felt like the little old lady who lived in the shoe who had so many children she didn't know what to do}! We weren't totally crazy...they exited to the nursery with some wonderful babysitters as soon as they walked down the aisle!
After the ceremony, we enjoyed a fabulous reception with delicious food and delightful cake {I have the left over cake in my fridge...come on over if you love wedding cake like I do}! Then we sent them off to Birmingham for their wedding night.
Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Jerald David Junkin, junior {or as my children would say Mr. and Mrs. Jeraldean Dunkin Bridge Junkin}! We hope you are having a wonderful {and much needed} honeymoon in Belize! We can't wait to see you when you return!
