Our Daughter's Wedding!

[aceoky]

Well, we went to watch our oldest, get married, in Gatlinburg Tenn. Yesterday.

Something, I'm very happy to not have to do again! (two sons left)

The Ceremony was held at the Park Vista Hotel downtown, as was the reception; he's a really good guy(Navy which is obvious); I only hope them both the very best of all things!

That is our youngest on the left(ringbearer) and the groom's nephew on the right(also ringbearer).


Here is a Picture for anyone that would like to see:(sorry it's rather large pic)

Thank you I will! They are in SC (for now)...the life of one serving in the United States Armed Forces...

She'll be very happy to know you liked it....

Thank you very much!

He's ( I think this is correct, been kind of a long couple of days):D

He's an E3 at the moment(think he's up for promotion though pretty soon).....he's a fireman/electrician IIRC (some of it he can't talk about for obvious reasons....I'll just leave it "there") :D

[aceoky]

I REALLY need to downsize that pic, will try to ASAP... IF I can find the time that is! :D

Congrats to the bride and groom, and the entire family. Did you get them a crossbow as a wedding present?:D

[AteUp]

Just think Ace you have all those grandchildren to look forward too...... :D

Congradulations btw....

[aceoky]

Maxcam, thank you, ( I do know how to "shrink it", just haven't had the time with several pictures to take care of and email etc.etc.etc.), and I didn't even think about the size being too busy..... :)

[aceoky]

Congrats to the bride and groom, and the entire family. Did you get them a crossbow as a wedding present?:D

Thanks, no not yet, they'll be a "bit busy" I'm guessing between now and then(hunting season)! :D

The good news is: he is a bowhunter! :D

[aceoky]

Tell her congratulations! She made a beautiful bride! I love her dress! :)


I just got off the phone with her, and that made her so happy!!

They're getting "settled in", their house now, so things are a bit "hectic".....to say the least...

[JDMiller]

Ace.......tell them congratulations and she looked beautiful .:)

Just some friendly advice.... dont worry to much about them ...even though I know you will. I'm a Navy brat myself (father was in for 30 years) its a close nit family and they look after each other very well. Still friends with some of the families we met at different bases scattered all over the place...they seemed like my second family and they would go out of their way for each other to make sure everything was taken care of. They will do just fine.

[aceoky]

Thanks JD; I'll do my best not to, and I know you're very correct in the "second family", I have several ex-Navy(retired) in my family as well. They've dated for a couple of years, and they met while he worked with my wife, so it's not like we don't know him that well.. :D

His parents are both Ex-Navy also.

He's spent many hours here, and honestly he was already pretty much a part of the family anyway, so it's now official, is the only real difference.

The wedding itself was harder than I even expected, but once I got over that, things are fine, and I wish them the very best in their life together... They're trying to get settled in their new home in SC; should be there for a couple of years; then will probably "move on" to the next station. At least she'll get to travel plenty while she is still young enough to really enjoy it!

That looks like a pretty wedding..... I bet it was nice up in Gatlinburg!

[Auk1124]

Congrats Ace, she is a beautiful bride and I am sure you are very proud! By the way where did they get married at down there?

[Xi Bowhunter]

Congradulations to them both...I'm glad to hear he is a bowhunter!

[aceoky]

At the Beautiful Park Vista Hotel; it was a very nice wedding(as weddings invoving your only daughter go) :D

Thanks!

Thank you! Yes it was very nice when we got there, though by later that night it was getting very windy and really cold, snow in the moutains in fact!

[leggyarcher]

Where did she buy her wedding dress? :)

Well, she didn't like the one we picked out well enough , so I'll have to check with her and will let you know ASAP?

It was her wedding, so that is fine ; she got married in the dress SHE wanted!:D

[Lil Gsp]

I think Camo would fit Leggy jus fine! hmmm I wonder if they make camo dresses to match that camo suit that Auk will be wearin!:D :eek:

[Auk1124]

How about blaze orange? :D I'm thinking instead of the camo tux, maybe I will wear my tam and a kilt. It would be an interesting wedding, both bride and groom wearing dresses. :D

Good grief please invite me I would love to see that!:eek:

I would prefer if you didn't wear a kilt and tam on our wedding day. You can save it for Halloween. I wouldn't wear blaze orange either, but the camo wedding dress might be interesting...I am still searching for just the right dress though. :)

[leggyarcher]

Good grief please invite me I would love to see that!:eek:

Trust me, if something like that goes down, there will be plenty of video footage and photos posted on here...I doubt many of you all would want to attend a wedding like that...lol! :D :p

[aceoky]

PM sent with all the info.....

Thanks Ace...I appreciate it! :)

No how bout rattle snake boots, a kilt with Blaze Orange shirt, camo jacket and a hat that I saw this one guy working at Wal Mart wearing. It was green and it had fake leaves and bark and rats and snakes hanging from it. Man you'd look good. And leggy's dress should be dark brown.

Now see, that's what (sort of) I was going for on my daughter's wedding(not a cheap gown either):D

She said NO......:D :D lol

[aceoky]

They are "getting settled" into their new home in SC , things are going very well, as of last night!

Guess they'll be down there for a couple of years....

Already she's wanting us to come and visit! :D
