Cousin Debbie's Wedding Rehearsal

It's been awhile since we've had a wedding in the family.  Cousin Debbie (Marilyn's oldest daughter) became engaged at Christmastime.  She is in the Kansas National Guard, and her fiancee Chris is in the Missouri Army Reserves. Plus, Debbie began Physician's Assistant training in Wichita back in August or September. Debbie had already been deployed for almost a year to Iraq as has been Chris. I figure you never know when that could actually happen again. With that threat always lingering, and Debbie's school training, I guess they decided that May 22 was as good of a day as any to get married (plus, it's Armed Services Day).

The wedding was in North Kansas City area.  Chris' minister performed the ceremony, but the church was neither one of theirs. I almost got the notion that it's a church that rents itself out for such weddings, but I don't really know that. :)

Allison was the flower girl so we were to be at the rehearsal Friday evening.  The ring bearer was a 6-year old nephew of Chris, named Hunter. I think Allison is already telling him a thing or two and they've only known each other for like 3 minutes.

...and cutie pie Miss Shelby was there for us all to ooh and aah over too! :)
