Shannon and Ben's Wedding

How can someone else's wedding that you attended (and danced at!) wear you out so much??? I think I'm not as young as I used to be! Our niece, Shannon, was married to her beau, Ben, last night at the Tunica River Museum. Besides the killer mosquitos that we effectively "raise" in the Sweet Delta, it was absolutely gorgeous! The wedding was beautiful, and, if you didn't know it, you would have thought they were married by the ocean! The reception was catered by John Woods, and those had to be the BEST fried pickles I've ever eaten!!! Shannon had picked out some just plain ole' delicious Delta food: catfish, fried pickles, bbq and even some chicken tenders! The flowers were gorgeous, thanks to our family flower arranger, Deniese, and musical entertainment was provided by several family members! I just wanted to share some fun/crazy photos from the wedding. Welcome, Ben, to the family ("bless your heart!")

The younger cousins were the official "Candy Girls!"
