We are getting ready for Christmas around here!!!!!  Last year we were moving in and starting renovations so there wasn't a lot of decorating.  This year though we have two trees up and all the decorations.  It will be a busy holiday as we will travel to Illinois and Oklahoma to see both families:)

Thanksgiving in Tulsa and at the lake

Wedding in Cozumel

Image
 Start of the rehearsal with our wedding planner to get the herd in order:)
Image
 Mark might be monitoring here or just wondering where to go.  My Mom and Joe look ready to go though.
Image
 Whitney with the flower girls and ring bearer getting directions.
Image
 Mike and Mark waiting for instructions.
Image

Image
 I'm sure I'm telling Mike what to do at this point;)
Image

Image
 Rehearsal Dinner time!  We had a beautiful setup put together by Pam and the event staff at the resort.
Image

Image

Image
 There were so many amazing views to get pictures from that night with the sunset.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
 Dinner was wonderful and we all enjoyed just relaxing and eating a delicious dinner.
Image
 The speeches and music made the night!
Image

Image

Image
 Wedding Day.  It was so hard to keep this dress hidden for 5 days while we were at the resort before the wedding.  I was trying so desperately not to wrinkle it while it was hanging in the room!
Image
 Kate helped out with Hannah's hair so all the girls matched with their French Braids.
Image

Image
 Mom and I with our hair and makeup all ready to go.
Image

Image
 The boys were definitely not stressed at all.  They were all toasting and I believe their might have been shots mixed in their too?  Hmmmm.
Image
 Facetime'n with Ashley since Carmen was only 1 month old and couldn't make it to Mexico.  They watched the whole wedding and reception from the phone.  Technology put to the best use;)  We missed her though:(
Image
 Wedding Site right before sunset.
Image

Image
 My three little flower girls all in a row!
Image

Image

Image
 Mike and the Dad's.
Image
 The Prindiville Girls were ready to go!  Let's get this party started!  I was pretty nervous at this point though!
Image
 Momma P and Me
Image

Image

Image
 My Bridal Flowers and Kate's Flowers.  They were so beautiful!  This picture doesn't even do them justice.
Image

Image
 All of us girls were enjoying the suite before the wedding.
Image
 Aunt Sarah and Aunt Jill signing into the guest book.

 The guests staying cool before heading outside.  It was pretty warm for a little bit and then there was a nice cloud coverage which made it so much nicer.

 Mike and I exchanging our vows.  Three cruise ships went by at one point in the ceremony and I'm told it was just beautiful.
Image

Image

Image

Image
 It's official!
Image
 Mike might have still been a bit warm.  I made the boys wear linen suits over Mike's protests.  He just wanted to wear a short sleeve shirt which I told him was not wedding attire for my groom;)

 Reception Time!  We wanted to have the party on the pool deck but it was very warm so we opted for air conditioning.  Good thing too because a massive storm came in that night.  There was another wedding group having their rehearsal dinner and they all came running inside.
Image
Aunt Susan giving Mike some loving.  My Shannon relatives flew in from Boulder to help us celebrate:)
Image

Image
 Here are my Bushmeyer aunts!  Aunt Beth and Aunt Sarah traveled solo without their hubbies and had an amazing time touring Cozumel!
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
 My Dad's reception speech brought some tears out around the table including my dad having a moment of getting choked up.  I still have never seen him cry to this day but he shows emotion through actions and words.  It was a lovely speech and he spoke quite highly of my new hubby!
Image

Image
 My Momma brought in some humor by telling Mike if he hurt me she would come after him like a Momma Grizzly!  All kidding aside, she also spoke of her love for her new son in law!
Image
 Me Celtic cross from Ireland.  I just love this wedding gift from my parents.  So beautiful and representative of my heritage.
Image

Image
 Our cake had a bit of an island them with flowers and sea shells.
Image
 Sneaky, he better not get me in the face.
Image

Image
 We both played pretty nicely though.
Image

Image

Image
 Our first dance to the Farmer's Daughter.  We had the father/daughter and mother/son dance also to this song.

I think a good time was had by all!  We danced for a few hours and then continued the party in the lobby bar and sitting area.
