We had some wonderful people help us with the ceremony, including a whole lot of family. In fact, everyone in the bridal party or part of the ceremony was family, except 2 of the groomsmen and the priest, and they were all family friends. Here's a few pictures of them in action in their roles, or other pictures of them when a picture of their part of the ceremony wasn't taken.
Grandparents. They weren't technically part of the bridal party, but they are pretty important. None of our grandparents are in the greatest health anymore, so the fact that so many of them were able to come to the wedding was a BIG DEAL. Our photographers were wonderful and I don't regret going with Jaqui and her husband Travis, but I must say, the fact that they didn't capture the processional, recessional, or family portraits well is disappointing. I'm supplementing this with other grandparent shots instead, but just picture all these people heading down the aisle before things got started.
(Only picture from our photographer of a grandparent going down the aisle caught by our photographer)
Kenneth's parents, brother and grandparents:
Bridesmaids/sisters-- all 5 of them. Aren't they lovely?
James, Kenneth's brother, was as great as a best-man as he is as a brother.
Our parents... in a bad picture. Blurry. Shadow on my dad's face. {sigh} There is a better one, but it's horizontal and Blogger cuts off the edges of horizontal pictures sometimes and I didn't want to lose anyone in this picture.
Kenneth's cousins Monica and Erin were our altar servers.
My uncle John was our first reader. No pictures of him in action, unfortunately. {sigh}
Kenneth's cousin Emily was our second reader.
My Uncle Chad read the Prayers of the Faithful.
My Aunt Mary, Uncle Bruce, and Cousin Elizabeth brought up the gifts (communion wafers and wine before consecration).
Kenneth's Aunt Mary (and Uncle Pete-- no picture of him in action either) was one of our Eucharistic Ministers.
Up next: Family portraits. Just as a warning, some of them didn't turn out well, but I'm sharing them anyway since they're the best we've got.
