ABOUT THE BIG DAY
"Our wedding will take place at our home church here in Oklahoma. It is the church where we grew up. I bought my dress at the beginning of this year and only paid $100 dollars for it!! What a blessing! Our colors are wine red and cornflower blue. Gary will wear his Army dress uniform, one usher will be wearing his Air Force dress uniform and then the other two ushers will be wearing their Fort Worth Police uniform. We have a total of 6 in our wedding party. I will have a junior bridesmaid and two flower girls, with one bell ringer who will also be our ring bearer! We are having the reception at his grandparents house and having a cookout (hopefully, depending on the weather)."
