Okay, let’s get this thing started! 🙂
Grace and Dylan sealed the knot on May 17th 2014. It was an absolutely beautiful wedding! Grace was a stunning bride, and Dylan was such an excited, nervous groom. 🙂
But first, we’ll see a few pictures leading up to the Big Day.
At the Bridal Shower hosted by Mrs Underwood.
The mothers.
Abbey and Autumn.
And then there’s us and the Andersland girls. 🙂
The ladies of our church hosted one for Grace as well. 🙂
A fun little game. 🙂
Mrs Henley, Mrs Pokorny, and Mrs Landry did a hilarious song for Gracie,
and then made her join them. Grace, looking shocked,and slightly embarrassed, finally conceded.

The day of the Rehearsal finally came!
Melissa was our amazing Wedding Decorator.

The Big Day arrives!
The Underwood family.
The finishing touches.
Emma is in the background contemplating what fun it must be to be a real bride!
The prayer.
Almost ready.
Ready to walk the aisle.
“He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice:…”
The Musicians play.
♪How beautiful the radiant bride…♪
Aunt Ashley did a gorgeous rendition of “How Beautiful”!
“I, Virginia Grace Discher, take thee, Dylan Tyler Underwood…”
Mr and Mrs Dylan Underwood!
Welcome to the family, Dylan!
The Wedding Party.
The Parents.
The Reception Hall was beautiful! Thank you to everyone one who helped out!
The Lovely Landry Ladies.
I am so thankful for Abbey and her beautiful friendship!
Mr. Underwood is one of the happiest, jolliest people I know. He was especially jolly on his son’s wedding day!
Hmmm….
Love this picture of Uncle Jay and Gracie♥
Josh’s Best Man speech was wonderful!
“The Master Hath Come…”
How does the cake taste?
Grace gives the okay. It was amazing!
Besties. 🙂
Some more Besties. 🙂
“Run…” They told us. “like you’re in Jurassic Park!” They told us… So that is precisely what we did.
This one’s even better!
♥Sisters♥
The going away!
One of my favorites!
“I have found the one whom my soul loves…”
♥
And we leave them to start their journey as a couple united in the Lord, doing His Will.
 ———————————————————————————————————————————– May 17th, 2014, after the wedding, we went Ice Skating. Daddy told Ben that he had to wait to pop the question until after Grace was married.
Ben listened to Papa, and waited about 5 hours. He surprised Kitty by proposing on the skating rink!
She was speechless!
No clue what he said, so let’s paraphrase.
“Kitty, you have been the queen of my heart since I was an obnoxious, red-headed 13 year old. Will you marry me?”
“This is great!” Abby’s loving all this romance. 🙂
Mama’s so happy for her baby girl.
I guess it’d be nice to get a picture of the couple together.
Good friends.
Pretty Mary.
Together again, for a few days at least.
🙂
Sisters.
While Grandmama and Granddaddy were here, we went to the Rainbow Trout Ranch. In May, it is especially gorgeous!
Papa and Sarah love trout!
Love these munchkins!
Granddaddy enjoys reading the historical plaques to the children.
Watching a Fly-fisher.
Cousins. 🙂
♥
Mama and (most of) her girls!
One last picture.
Time for Intermission! Stretch your legs, get a drink, and get ready for another round of our list to be thankful for! 🙂
