Cory & Derrick's wedding: beautiful couple, beautiful evening

My sister Cory married her best friend Derrick on Friday, July 30th! It was a perfect day and evening. The wedding was beautiful - filled with love and joy - it was everything a wedding should be and more. We all had a great time! Jeff, the kids and I left Texas Wednesday morning and stayed at my sister's place that night, then finished the drive to St. Louis Thursday morning. Thursday night most of the family from out of town had arrived and we all hung out at the hotel. Friday morning Cory treated my sister-in-law Christina and I to massages, then the three of us got our nails done together. Later that afternoon, Cory and I had a hair appointment. Then it was showtime! Here are some pictures from our fabulous weekend in Missouri.

Pedicures and hair appointment. Derrick's Aunt Irene did our hair and did an amazing job!Mom helping Cory lace up her dress. Here she is all ready to go!I didn't get any ceremony pics b/c I was matron of honor and was standing up front, but here are some pics of the cake cutting and first dance.
We had a lot of family come to town for the wedding. It was such a fun night. The kids danced and played together all night. The adults danced and visited, and I think Cory and Derrick had a perfect night. It was wonderful
