James and Tasha's Wedding

James and Tasha Venable Wedding.

James is my cousins son on my mother’s side.  Tracy, his mom, and I have not seen each other for over 30 years.  Grandma Delores, my mother’s sister, was, as always, a delight to visit with.

Delores and Barbara got along really good, I think they are laughing at something I did.

Tracy owns a small ranch in Stites, Id. Where she raises Yack/Angus hybrids known as Yow’s.  The valley view from the top of her property is astounding.

So, being a ranch they had a “Western Theme” Wedding.  So of course the bride must make her entrance on a horse. Wow!!!!

They were proceeded by family members.  Tasha’s dad was standing by to escort her to the alter.  While Tracy and her brother Lee walked with Tasha’s Mom in the procession.

The ring bearers are of the canine persuasion, although this one got a little excited about being included.

Tracy sits with her ring bearer charge Sparkles. 

Of course no wedding can go as planned, the wrong rings were placed with the ring bearers, so there was a little mix up in placing the rings.  It’s all good and everyone took it in stride.  The ring bearers didn’t care.

 

The deed now being done everyone relaxed a bit and started to have some real fun.  Here are the happy newlyweds with part of their wedding party, this picture picked out primarily because it has James Cousin Jamey and the Groomsman that accompanied her. . Sorry, I never got his name.

The happy mom with her now wed baby boy.  In the background is Tasha the bride and Jamey, James little cousin.

There is nothing lovelier than bridesmaids in the spring.

The post nuptial ceremonies were outstanding.  I didn’t get any pictures of them, but I did get pictures of the cake, corrections, cakes.

I love the lariat around the boot, awesome.

 

Of course there was the battle of the first bite, the Bride scoring early;

But the groom in an awesome display of manly prowess got his cake in also.

One of the details forgotten was the person to cook the hamburgers, hot dogs, and steaks, so I volunteered.  Only a couple of people got poisoned.

 

It was great to see my cousin Lee and meet his wife Stacey.  Their daughter Jamey was a delight, Jamey and her Dad.

It was really great to visit with my long lost cousins Tracy and Lee.  I wonder where we all got the wrinkles from.
