Tom Brady and Pocahontas' Wedding

It was a fun wedding. I can't speak for anyone else, but I had a good time. Although I couldn't help thinking as the ceremony went on, that Kim and Jake are so much more mature than me, and yet they are 10 years younger. They are getting married and I am trying to organize a hot dog and beer drinking competition. Whatever all of that means. On to the pictures. Chucker and Joey.
My dad and Sherman.
My sister in law, Jody, my sister, Deb, and my sister in law, Julie.
Sherman and Kim. I kept telling people that Kim and Jake looked like Ken and Barbie. Just perfect.
My brother, Jon, my cousin, David, and my brother, Dan. If you get these three together they only talk about three things, fishing, hunting and cutting down trees. "How big was the fish Dan? Was it a Musky or a Walleye?"
Way back (I think I can say "way back", after all it was the 70s) when my aunt Marilyn and uncle Dave (Kim's parents) got married some one put a ball and chain on my uncle's ankle. Some years later, but also way back, when my brothers started getting married, the tradition was pass on. And now that the Sherman kids are getting married, they are getting the same treatment. The ball and chain usually comes into play during the garter toss.
This is a great picture, it was right after Jake got the ball and chain put on him. Kim is giving this look like, "If you go sniffing around under my dress, that is what is going to happen."
Kim and Justin. Kim had a huge smile on her face all night, well at least right up until the end when they were paying the bar bill.
Me and Kim.
Jake, Jon, Dan and Justin.
Me with Abby and Lindsey.
Nick and Josh getting pretty serious with the blow up guitars.
Nick, Jake, Deb, Tom, Marilyn, my mom, Kim and Sandy.
The wedding party at the end of the night.
Flower girl, Erin calling it a night.
Where does she learn this stuff from?

I have always felt that the best couples I have known are the ones that you can't really think of as being apart. When you are around Kim or Jake separately they still great people but when you are around them when they are together, it is like when the sun comes out from behind the clouds. They make each other better.

Hi Rickie- we love the pictures and your comments. Thanks for sharing them with us. It was truly a fabulous day for us all. Also the Newlywed Game for the 4th sounds fun. Thank you in advance for the fireworks- we know it will be great and it is always the highlight of the day.
