**aimee**

My friend, Aimee, is also getting married this summer! She and Derek were engaged a few days before Christmas and have a July wedding date set. It is July 7th, 2007 (07-07-07) isn't that neat!! She is very excited about planning her wedding and already has lots of details worked out! Last week she and her mom and a couple of her bridesmaids went wedding dress shopping...i did not go with because it was just a couple of days before Shasta's wedding...and she found her dress! So a couple of days ago i went with Aimee and her mom to go look at her dress! And of course i brought my camera with!! These are some of my favourite photos from that shoot...

i altered this photo...it was in colour so i made two photos and blended them together to get just some of the colour to come through...
This picture captures both Aimee's engagement ring and the details from the veil she tried on. The detail work of beads from the veil matches her wedding dress!
A better picture of Aimee's princess wedding gown and how it looks with a veil....

**dancing**

The time at the reception was sooo much fun! Of course the place was decorated very nicely and everything went very smoothly as far as the dinner and toasts went. Then came time for the dance...Jon and Shasta started out with their first dance and then Shasta and Dad danced and then Jon and Becky had their dance. The hokie-pokie was played for the kids and the wedding party danced it with them...so much fun. A couple polka songs for the older generation that was present! They all loved that! The macarena!! That was fun! And then my favourite genre of music...country!! All of Jon's cousins were there...and they are from down by the farm so they loved country music too...yep, it was a great party!!

Shasta, Ceara, Marissa, Brandon, Ted and myself dancing together!
i think this one was toward the end of the evening...Ted and i were having a great time singing a song i guess...i don't even remember which one it was!!
i think Lisa took this picture...i have no idea what i was doing!! All i know is that i was having a great time...i think this was after i had a few Coronas and was on a role with dancing to every song and with everybody!!
Our boy, Ted!! He was our videographer that night...can't wait to see the videos!! Shasta and i struck a pose with him!
The Train!! We all did this a few times...we were having a good time!
Here is Shasta holding onto Colleen with Marissa (so sweet) holding onto the bride!! Ted and Laura are follwing!
