Since we were dressed up...

Jmk and I donned some wedding finery and stepped out last Saturday night, and so, we got MooMoo to snap a picture of us. There usually isn't anyone at the house but one of us to take pictures. BUT, because the kids weren't coming with us, we had someone else there behind the camera.

Anyway, we had the pleasure of going to see Miss Kelli Schutz wed Mr. Brodie Croyle. America's Junior Miss weds the Alabama turned NFL boy. They make such a handsome couple, and both come from beautiful families. Brodie's parents run this camp in Alabama. And Kelli's parents are just precious - I've gotten to know her mom thru Junior Miss stuff, since Kelli started her JM journey at our local program!

The wedding was so sweet, and the reception was fantastic! Unfortunately, the families had a devastating development - Mrs. Schutz's father had a heart attack at the rehearsal dinner the night before and died the morning of the wedding. Kelli wanted to postpone everything, but her mom and her grandmother told her to go on ahead and that they would all enjoy her wedding day. Their composure was unbelievable - and they were able to feel joy for Kelli and Brodie in spite of the pain and shock of losing their loved one.

Please keep that family in your prayers - the emotional rollercoaster has been quite extreme over the past week, and I dare say they can hardly believe what has happened themselves.

As for "celebrity" sightings, I only saw Mike Shula and his teeny, tiny beautiful wife. (And that was only because Jmk pointed him out. I wouldn't have known him. His name, but not him). There were undoubtedly U of A folks there, but I really don't know those players. And, I suspect that the Kansas City folks will be having or have had a separate celebration for Kelli and Brodie. I can only assume that the Chiefs are getting geared up for the pre-season, right?

Despite the fact that I kept thinking about how YOUNG they both were, (they're not that young, but I got married SO much later in life than they did!), they are so much in love with each other. And watching that made the evening so much fun!
