The BIG Day: Nov 4th, 2007

Here are some wedding pics for those of you who have been waiting so patiently. They are somewhat in random order.

Please enjoy! Your comments are appreciated.
Mother-son dance to My Mother's Love.

Peter, with Mom and Pop.

Front row:Abigail, Gregory and Adam
Back row: Viktor, Hope and Alice, Faith, Levi, Pop, Mom, Peter, Spring and Brian, Lacey and John David, and Rob.

Is this straight Hope?

The men in black. Don't look too closely, I think Levi's eyes are closed.

Just the guys getting ready. Pop, I think you have a spot right here.

Levi getting pinned.

Dakota and Denise "passing the shoe". A new tradition to Tracy. Peter took off one of his shoes (we should have used both hehehe) and it got passed around to all those who wanted to contribute. It went around pretty fast, but we were very blessed by all the contributions. Thank you to all you who helped make our honeymoon so special.

Sarah Zellmer caught the bouquet. She is the daughter of Rose who baked our delicious wedding cake.

Our first dance, to When God Made You.

Father-daughter dance to Butterfly Kisses.

Peter's good friend Steve and his parents, John and Terri. We are glad they could make it.

Here is our Christmas Card picture!!!

We LOVE this one. Peter always opens his mouth when he gives me a bite of something. This is classic.

The cake was delicious!!! Thanks, Rose.

Some of our guests.

Cutting the cake.

More guests...

The proud papas.

...and even more guests. We were very blessed to have so many people share in our joy.

The first kiss. Peter and I decided that our first kiss would be at the altar. It was such a special moment for us both.

The presentation of the prayer rock. What a wonderful tradition! A piece of wood from the stump where Pop asked Mom to marry him, and a rock from where his great grandpa used to go to pray. His granpa carried on the tradition and they would get a rock from nearby and made an altar there. Pop has gathered several rocks from there to pass them on to his kids. A reminder to pray together every night before we go to bed. We actually started doing this before we were married. After Peter or Tracy would get home, we would call and pray on the phone together.

Didn't everything look beautiful?!

Ah! How precious!!!

Grandpa, I wanna see my mommy sing.

Taking time to smell the roses. Or orchids...as the case may be.

The bridal party: Ellie (in front), Jeanette, Sharlene, Tracy, Molly, Valerie.

Sharlene putting on Tracy's tiara. That almost looks like it hurts.

The father of the Bride invited everyone to IHOP for breakfast. Grandam Pat, John, Steph and the kids, Peter and Tracy, Shar, Val, Molly and Jeanette were all there, and Hope and Viktor came a little later with the girls (I think by accident).

As you can see Tracy is getting her hair done for the wedding. Alice Rossiter drove up from Pasadena to do her hair, and her mom's. She always does a fantastic job!

Too bad the 4th one is blurry. I love the way Alice did our hair. Front and back views are fabulous! As she was packing up, Valerie and the rest of the girls came down to get ready, and Alice stayed to help Val with her hair too. She truly was a blessing.
