"Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile." - Franklin P. Adams

♥♥♥ Aunt Shanti & Uncle Tyler ♥♥♥

The day after Holden got a new cousin, he also got a new aunt! Such a lucky boy :)


On August 28, Tyler and Shanti Himes were married outside at Mom and Dad Himes' house. Jared's cousins came all the way from Georgia and we all had such a great time just hanging out and sharing in fellowship with family.


The flowers and garden were beautiful and the ceremony was thoughtful and personal. It was performed by Jared's other brother Kevin - who also married us ♥ And even though it did rain, we were all very fortunate that it held off until after the ceremony. And that they had such big, lovely tents!


The colors were watermelon and bright light green. And Holden got a tie to coordinate with the tie Daddy wore :) Uncle Tyler looked very happy and handsome all day and Aunt Shanti was completely beautiful. And we're so glad she is part of our family now and we can "officially" call her "Aunt" :)

Playing with Uncle Tyler earlier in the day before he got all ready.
