My Apologies

I'm sorry that some of are having difficulties viewing the wedding pictures, my fault. There are more pictures than those on this page. When you get to the end of all the pictures on this page or if you just scroll down to the bottom of the page, click on "Older Posts" & it'll take you right to the rest. And for some of you who went to Jordan's blog & found that she went on with life, my apologies, not that she on with life but that I didn't give you better instructions. If you scroll down the left hand column of this page until you get to "family & friends", click onto "The Arnold Family". Then scroll down her right hand column of her blog page until you get to archives. In the month of July, there will be an entry marked "Day 1" - for the rehearsal day & "Day 2" - for the wedding day. You can make your choice from there. I hope this helps! Enjoy!

Wedding Day: Getting Ready

Since I have so many pictures of this day & since its difficult to post that many in 1 blog entry, I will do several blog entries to accomplish this feat. I am going to start at the beginning of this day getting ready.

This amazing lady along with another
lady got 11 of us ready for this wedding.

A beautiful bride!

The Ceremony

Before we knew it we were being ushered down the aisle. The sanctuary was beautifully decorated. This was the most elegant wedding I had ever been to.
These wonderful instrumentalist played most of the music.

The parents & grandparents walked down to "Seekers of the Heart".

The guys walked out to wait for the ladies.

The only lady that I have pictures of is Sarah,

& then John as he escorts her up.

I'm sorry that some of these pictures are so blurry. My nieces have some pictures that are clearer. You can click on their blog to the left: The Arnolds & Nicky's Life.

As Carissa made her appearance, my son teared up at the sight of his beautiful bride. Then I watched as my daughter started as well, I was done for. He was so sweet!

Then there were young ladies who played "How Beautiful" with hand bells.
Thw whole ceremony was beautiful!

While Carissa & Dave
were taking communion,
Carissa's cousin sang
with a choir
Micheal W. Smith's
The Sacred Romance
along with
I Can Hear Your Voice.
Then a friend of ours,
Melonie Catana sang
The Prayer with a
friend from Carissa's
church. The pieces of
music picked out for
this wedding were
very classy, so like
Dave & Carissa!
Her family has
a tradition of the
family where the
bride & groom sign
the family Bible.

After it was all
over, P. Brent
announced
them as
husband &
wife with
the kiss to
follow.

And here they are....
Mr. & Mrs. Dave Kregenow

The Reception at the Church

Immediately following the wedding, they had a lovely reception at the church.

There was scrumptious food & great time visiting.
Scott was talking with his Mom & Jack.

My Dad & Ginnie were across the table.

Pictures at the Mansion

Right after the pictures were done at the church, the bridal party (minus a few guys who went AWOL) went to a mansion to have more pictures done outdoors. Here are a few of them. I have no clue what order they were taken since I wasn't there.

This is Carissa's

his new wife,
