Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Flowers!!

 I will start by saying I am SO thankful for our friends and family.  The past few weeks we have traveled a lot.  J has been in two weddings the past three weekends.  The first was Tyson and Charity's wedding in Camden, TN, and also in Mark and Hope's wedding in Nashville.  I wasn't able to take pictures at Tyson and Charity's wedding because Tucker wouldn't cooperate, so I don't have any photos from their wedding, but it was beautiful and we were so glad were able to go and J was able to be a part of their special day! Jonathan met Tyson and Mark at UTM and they all became great hunting buddies.  They are both great guys and I'm so thankful that J has friends like them.  

So on to this weekend's wedding...Mark married the sweetest girl, Hope this past weekend.  They have been together since high school, so this was a long time in coming! Mark asked J to be in the wedding and so we went down to Nashville on Friday night so J could be there on Saturday to spend the day with all the guys for his bachelor party and then the rehearsal dinner was Friday night.  Unfortunately it rained all day on Saturday, so instead of fishing all day as planned, they had to come up with other ideas, so they went to downtown Nashville and played laser tag. I think they had a good time anyway.    

The rehearsal dinner was at a place called the Catfish House, and they had great chicken nuggets! :) I know you aren't supposed to go to a catfish house and order nuggets, but they were so yummy.  Below is Mrs. Deborah, Mark's mom (holding Tucker boy!) and his dad, Mr. Mike.

Tucker boy was a little under the weather this weekend and he was fussing a little, but he was very sweet the whole time.  I was proud of how good he was all weekend long - except for sleeping, but I guess that might be expected when your nose is stuffy.

The wedding was at one of the most beautiful outside wedding sites I've ever seen!  It was a place called Front Porch farms in Nashville TN. It was set at the top of a "hill" - that's what they call them in Nashville.  The West TN folks would call that a mountain!  It overlooked thousand of acres and was breathtaking.

The view from the back of the ceremony...see that beautiful scenery.

This is where the bridal party came out of the house and were married in the front yard.

This was Mark's grandfather's old Ford, and he left it to Mark when he passed away.  This is what they left the wedding in!  Also, Hope is a scrapbook-er and she had one of the coolest ways to personalize the day with their own "guest book".  She had someone who would ask you to sign around the outside edges of scrapbook pages, and then there was a lady with a camera who would take a family photo.  So she can go back and look at this for years to come and remember who was there! I thought it was such a neat idea.

My Sweet Husband! So handsome in a Tux.

Congrats Mr. and Mrs!

The brides cake was cupcakes, so yummy! and the grooms cake was chocolate icing on white cake.  Her mom made his cake an the duck on top is made out of rice krispy treats.  It looked so real.

The reception was in a open pavilion and it was so nice.  The food was catered and it was delicious.  They had BBQ, Chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, and salad.

There was a DJ and I couldn't help but snap this photo of sweet Tucker boy with his daddy - dancing!

And this is not a staged photo...one of the bridesmaids was talking about how warm it was and wouldn't it be so fun to jump in the pool...well J was completely on board and convinced all the groomsmen and she convinced all the bridesmaids...see what happened!

Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of it, but when Mark and Hope were supposed to be leaving we all had sparklers in the pavilion and they ran through.  When we came out they were both in the pool too!!  So they took some photos of the whole wedding party in the pool...I can't wait to see how they came out!

We had a great weekend and got home really late Sunday night...I hope you all had a great Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to my sweet daddy, and father in law.  Also, Happy First Father's Day to my amazing Husband!!  I love you and so does Tucker!
