Paul & Tara's Wedding Day

October 11, 2008, marked the big day for Paul and Tara as they joined together in marriage! Family and friends, both near and far, came to see the beautiful couple on their special day.





Paul & Tara's photographer took the pictures of the wedding party and family before the wedding.

The kids were fun to watch as they were all dressed up for the big wedding. Evan, the honorary best man, and Autumn, the honorary maid of honor, were helping Riley, the flower girl, down the church walk-way. They also had little Jarrod, Tara's nephew, as the ring bearer.

Tara's dad, Mitch, walks Tara down the church aisle to Paul....

"You may now kiss the bride......"

The happy couple is FINALLY married. Lots of smiles from both....

Shana took a picture for us. If only Bradley would look at the camera. Too much going on around him, I guess.

Tara saying her "thank-you's" at the reception that was held at the Rod & Gun Club in Durand.

Tara's dad was very busy this summer, planting and growing all of the unique gourds for the decorations at the wedding. Carter and Abby had a blast finding the most unusual gourds. Shana and Abby give us a show with these crazy-looking gourds!!
It was nice to see some of our relatives at the wedding that we haven't seen in awhile.......like Paul Fylling....here he is catching up with Todd & Missy.
Grandpa Ken and Grandma Deb made it over to the reception. The kids were still having fun with the gourds. Everyone at the reception/dance were allowed to take some gourds home with them. Carter, repeatedly, stuffed my bag with gourds that, eventually, filled up the van. Our porch looks very fall-like with all of the gourds. Thanks Mitch!!
Evan was all dressed-up and was a very handsome little guy at the wedding. Evan stayed over night at our house and we talked about how nice it is that his dad married Tara.
Bill and LaNita chatting with their long-time good friends, John and Amy Burkholders.
Bill and LaNita looked very nice in their wedding attire.
Paul has found the love of his life and we are very happy to have Tara in our family. I look forward to having many great memories with my new sister-in-law. We love you Paul, Tara, Evan and Autumn!!
