now that the big day has past. I want to say thanks to all that sent well wishes and prayers our way. We had a beautiful day for the wedding. Couldn’t have ask for a better day. We were truly blessed.
The newlyweds! Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Menser
All the family arrived the middle of last week, and from that moment on, we were extremely busy getting ready for the big day. Hair and nail appts, rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Lots of good food, and catching up with family. For the rehearsal dinner, my son wanted a backyard barbeque but since we didn’t know how to plan for the weather we decided to rent a venue to host the festivities. We had our rehearsal dinner at a sports bar and grill, with all the backyard barbeque fare. Simply yummy. Anyone that knows my son, knows he is a die hard sports fan, so this was very appropriate for him. Complete with a tribute to his favorite team.
On the big day, the morning started off rather weepy for me. I was extremely emotional, lots of tears as I reflected back on my son’s childhood and the man he has become. I am so proud of who he is. Such a gem!

Well that is a sneak peek into our day….please feel free to stop by the photo album and view the pictures (link below). We took over 500 ourselves, but I’ve posted around 70 or so.
I wish the new Mr. and Mrs. all the love and blessings in the world.
