Finally, here are pictures from the wedding! It was held outside with hay bales for seats, and a small orchestra made up of friends provided the music. It was a very pretty and God honoring wedding! Of course one of the favorite parts for everyone was when.....well, it had to do with a horse, but I think I should tell you about things in order. :)
The Bradrick's lovely home.
Amy at the gift table.
Pastor Voddie Baucham getting ready.
The orchestra playing the prelude.
This was a first for Dad - wearing a baseball cap with a suit!
(It was quite sunny and he didn't want to burn his head.)

Mrs. Bradrick escorted by two of her sons.
The groomsmen stride down the isle....faithful friends and brothers of the couple.
Now for one of my favorite parts! When the groomsmen got to the front, someone up front took the microphone and said, "Behold the bridegoom!!!" in a loud voice as Scottish bagpipe music burst forth. We all looked toward the barns and there came J.R. on a white horse, galloping up like a knight in shining armor!! You should have heard the cheering and shouting that burst from the crowd as he came!!! It was a grand entrance indeed, and pictured how Christ will come one day on a white horse to get His bride.
He dismounted and...
..walked to the front where his groomsmen were waiting for him.
They challenged...
...and then prayed for him.

The pastor waits...
...the lovely bridesmaids come one by one...(I just posted a couple pictures but there were 11 of them).
Then came the bell boys...
...followed by the ring bearers...
..and the flower girls!
Then Mr. Bradrick and Amy Ellen appeared!!
Lydia was so happy to be in her aunt's wedding!
The pastor's admonition to the couple.
As a congregation we all sang In Christ Alone.
Then they each read the vows they had written for each other.
After signing the marriage covenant they lit the unity torch while Daniel Craig sang the song Before the Throne of God Above.
The bridal party sang The Lord Bless You and Keep You to the couple.
The elders prayed for them and blessed them.
The first kiss!!
The happy couple...Mr. and Mrs. J.R Haas!!!
While the wedding party were getting pictures taken, the guests all went to get some food.
Orange water coolers have never looked so elegant!
Yum!
Mom and Amy going through the line.
After eating I went over to get some pictures of the wedding party...
So cute!!

Everyone loved little Loyal Bradrick!
And they are off!
After they left, there was more English Country dancing in the barn. What a fun way to end a happy day!
