Ta Da —presenting Mr. and Mrs. Gallegos—and the 500th post—wahoo!!

by Janetha on July 18, 2010

in meals

Hello everyone – momma b. here SO happy to be able to give you all a small glimpse of the long awaited wedding day—–needless to say it was absolutely PERFECT—-every little detail worked out so very well.  Janetha smiled NON stop until late in the evening I was sitting with her and mentioned how happy she was and she said “yeah my face hurts I’m smiling so much”!!

I know all of you are excited to see some photos and not so much of my rambling – so if I can remember just how to do this I will get the show on the road and give you all a few photos of one of the greatest days our family has had in a long time.   We of course love our Janetha bean, but we also love her handsome hubby Marshall – he is the most tender fellow I know and treats her just like a queen – thanks Marshall for being so sweet with our baby girl!!

We started the day getting her hair done and then “slipping” into her wedding dress – I being the momma was honored to lace her into such a beautiful gown…….

Silly big sister and mom—we have some serious eye issues with photos and so we are trying SO hard to keep our eyes WIDE open, haha (comic relief)Wedding Photos 422

A little blurry, but this lacing thing was big business, required a lot of tugging and pulling – good thing I work out!!

Neef and the two darling flower girls – 3 beauties for sure!!

Wahoo  – the awesome cake!!!

And of course more kissing :)

I know you probably would love a lot more – I will leave that to our dear Janetha when she returns.  I had some dynamite shoes on all evening and it required soaking my feet until about 2am – momma b is tired but very, very happy that my bestest little daughter is happily married!!

Just another note to tell ALL of you wonderful blog friends how much I love and appreciate your love and caring for Janetha – I feel like I’m momma b to you ALL xoxoxo!!!

Congratulations, Janetha!
I’m sort of a new reader, but thanks Momma b for posting this. The wedding looks beautiful! I actually started to cry when I saw how happy she was and especially when I saw the photo of “the first look.” I am in a wonderful relationship of about 11 months with my boyfriend. I am only 18, but gosh looking at these photos makes me want to be 26! Seeing people in love hits me so hard now that I am in love with such a handsome and caring young man.

I wish you both the best of luck and I can’t wait to hear more from you and about your post-wedding adventures! :)
