Brittany and Shawn Gilley....

My little sister is now a married woman as of last Saturday!! Although the wedding and reception didn't go as planned, it was still a beautiful day. They waited until the end of May so that they would be able to have an outdoor wedding in my parent's backyard, only problem was that we had record lows and lots and lots of wind and rain. The ceremony was held outside under a tent but it was only 41 degrees and the wind was very cold, so after the vows were exchanged we moved everything inside. It's a good thing my parents have a big house!! The photographer had to get creative indoors because the rain was pouring and we didn't even have a 15 minute window without rain all day. I felt bad for Britt because it wasn't going as she had always planned it to go, but she held herself together and I still think she had an amazing day. I do have to say that she was the most beautiful bride I've ever seen. She was just glowing!! We are also excited to have Shawn as part of our family, he's such a good guy and after meeting his family we know where he gets it, they are all so nice. They have that 'southern charm' about them being from Louisiana! Congratulations to Britt and Shawn on a beautiful wedding and best of luck on a beautiful life together!

Oh I know how it feels to have rain on your wedding, I dreamt of a beautiful outside day too....everyone told me rain on your wedding is a sign of good luck, so at least I had that!
Your family looks SO great, Britt was the most beautiful bride and it looks like it was such a fun day.
