June 2, 2007 was my cousin Shelby's wedding. With her only being three years behind me, (Tyff), her and I were really close growing up spending many summers together playing at the pool in Salina, Kansas.

Shelby and Chad have been together for three and a half years and really have had a solid friendship-based relationship. She got her hair done at The Hair Company Salon at 12:00 Noon. Then she headed back to the church, University Methodist Church close to Kansas Wesleyan University, to have Chad's cousin (Colby), put on her make-up and for Nat (Shelby's mom), to help put on Shelby's wedding dress. Shelby looked truly amazing! She is always about being comfortable, so her white flip flops were a perfect match to her personality.

Shelby and Chad made the ceremony very meaningful for both their parents and grandparents. They had the candle-lighters light 25 of the 50 candles that they had at the front of the church. The parents then went up and lit theirs and the grandparents finished up the remainder of 50. This also gave each one a chance to give a hug to the bride and the groom.

Afterwards they had guests line up to send them off in a red Oldsmobile Convertible. We were able to grab a few shots on the steps of the Masonic Temple, also. Then it was off to the party that was held in Grandma Leister's barn. They had HobKnob cater in the wonderful food by Nat's restaurant with baked beans, pasta salad, red potatoes, roast beef with barbecue, and pork. The Happy Crappy Beer mixed with a little of Whiskey, Ever Clear, lime and more kept the party alive and hopping!

We want to thank you for allowing us be a part of the wedding and document your special day. We wish you many happy years together. Chad, you know at times you are going to have to keep Shelb in line! Just kidding Shel Bell!
