Post Wedding

Well I now have over 500 pictures of the celebration. Some from the reception and some from the wedding. A lot of duplicates...you know...a smile and then a look or one hand is doing something and then the next instant something else. Hard to judge which one to use. I made a couple of collages of some and they don't look too bad. I really liked the cake and when I got the second batch of pictures from Jazmine I noticed something added to the cake. Besides having the two action figures on the top I noticed another little figure peeking over the edge. It's a little statue of "Deadpool" which is what Olivia was at the first Radcon she went to. She was a runner for the group and she ran all day. So they put a little action figure looking over the side.
The groom (Jess) and his father (Brad), and Jesse Vantine, the officiate.

Just some of the flower centerpieces that decorated the 25 tables.  The one with the light sabers was the wedding party.  

A couple of the flower arrangements and some "Tom Foolery" that was done with the action figures on the cake. One at the top left looks like he's trying to kiss her and in those helmets that isn't going to happen. And the one at the top right looks like dancing is what he has in mind.

Pictures of the 'Wedding Party' and the happy couple with the "First Dance".

I'm going to wait on making any more until I get a list of the picture numbers from Bridgit of ones she wants to have made up for the album.  Meanwhile I'm out looking for more Steampunk kits'.

Have a nice weekend and I'll see you down the road. Hugs to all.

A Wedding in the Family

On Friday the 13th of October my Grand Daughter got married to the Love of her life. It was a big deal for all of us that attended and we had a great time.  Although at my age, I didn't stay into the night. They had the ball room until 1:30 AM but I knew I wasn't going to last that long so one of the young ladies who was by herself at the wedding was sitting with me since I was by myself also.  I have done only 8 pictures of the wedding into scrapbook pages so far.

This new family is a great fan of the Predator Movie and Star Wars Movies. They are also fans of the Comic-Con conventions. Here in Richland it is Rad-Con...in other places it will have a different name like Comi-con or something like that. They dress up in costumes for a weekend and hang out together.  Next convention is in February here in Richland. As you will see by the cake they have their own action figures, complements of the company in LA that makes them. Bridgit has the only complete :battle ready/movie ready female Predator Costume in the world."

One of the nurses that took care of me last month during my 10 day visit to the hospital, when she found out I was connected to the Comi-Cons/Rad-Cons shared with me that she went to one as Cat Woman in a costume she had made (Hand sewn) herself. She's looking forward to getting together with the Rad Con kids and having fun for a couple of days.

 Jess works for a shop that makes Props, Costumes, & other parts for movies. He's down in LA working already. Next year the family will be rejoined for good in the LA area. I'm moving to Grand Junction, CO.

There are about 800 pics to choose from so I'm going to let Bridgit sort through them and do some editing and only forward the ones she wants in her digital album that I'm making for her. I'm going to purchase one of those digital slide viewers and load on there what she wants fixed up. She's happy with the first 8. I've been using Steam Punk because that's her favorite. Two photographers were running around taking candid shots of the guests and they have sent the results to Bridgit on thumb drives. I only have 3 Steam punk kits to choose from so if any of my readers know where I can find more, please let me know.

Here's what I have done so far.

Groom is Jess Langdell, Bride is Corrina Corbin-Langdell and the lovely one in the middle is her daughter Olivia Corbin (aka Tiny Human).

Bride is Bridgit Corbin, Groom is Jess Langdell, and the Officiate is Jesse Vantine. I don't have the right Crest on the Shield but it's a Viking Shield. And Jesse & Jess both are from that area of the world a few generations ago.

The adorable little girl is Rayne Hernandez and she was the flower girl. We call her 'Baby Rayne' and she objected loudly to having to throw the petals out of the basket she was given to carry. She had help going down the isle because she didn't want to go and throw HER flowers. And as soon as she was put down in the line of Brides maids and given back her basket she dropped to the floor and started picking them all up and putting them back in the basket. We are lucky that one of the guests took these pics with her cell phone.

This is the Bride and Groom with all of the Brides maids (two of which are showing a pregnancy in progress). I haven't gotten a picture with Groomsmen and Jess but when I do I'll make another like this one. Maybe minus the Shoe.

This is the new family. Mr. & Mrs. Jess Langdell. Jess is going to be adopting Olivia soon and then they will all be Langdell's.

The wedding cake is adorned with the 2 Predator action figures. The company that makes these figures may or may not make any more of the Female one until after they introduce her in a movie. One idea is that Bridgit will get the part even though she's never made a movie before. I'm sure Hollywood will come up with something.

Olivia was the 'Ring Bearer' and she has the two boxes in her hands. I believe they were 2 small coffins that had the rings and she handed one to Jess and one to Bridgit. Not too sure about the boxes.

This is Brad Langdell (Jess's father) with Jess and Jesse (the Officiate).

It was an interesting day and they are very happy to have it over.n Now they just need to manage getting all three in one place. Bridgit also works in the same shop that Jess does and she is very good at the 'plaster cast'. A couple of the items she has worked on are in the New York area and another one is over seas. Some creature with crystal spikes coming out of his head. She made the spikes and fitted them into the helmet or mask for some movie.  

When I get more of the pictures, I'll be making more scrapbook pages. 

Hugs to all and have a Safe and Happy Halloween.

An Apology from ME!

I can't for the life of me know why I didn't post anything in August, Sept. and here it is October all ready. Last month I was in the hospital for some surgery on the small intestine called Small Bowel Blockage. That was 10 days of my life I don't ever want to repeat again. But I'm home and pretty much over the trauma. Now I'm on a high fiber diet and booster drinks like ensure. Some of them aren't too bad if I add a little milk to them. The first 6 days, I got nothing to eat and nothing to drink. Fluids thru the IV and a suction tube into the stomach to clean it out. I took several nurses off my Christmas card list as they were inserting that tube thru the nose and into the stomach. YUK!!

I'm starting on the road to "Downsizing" now and getting ready to make a move to Grand Junction after the first of the year. I'm moving into a small apartment by myself but it's sort of close to my oldest daughter and her 2 boys so I'm going to enjoy being independent again. I'll take my Christmas decos since I refuse to part with my collection of Santas, and the bears from Wally's. I was getting a new bear every year and a new Santa. Bears have the year on their feet but the Santa doesn't and I can't remember which one came in what year. And I'll have my fireplace back again. It's been in storage for 3 years.

I'm using my new computer and I don't have everything restored yet so I'm going to save this as a draft and do more tomorrow.

My friend Cheryl's 1st Gr-Grand named Emberly born in July.

1st day of school for Mia and Kaddie. Kaddie is my 2nd Gr-granddaughter and Mia is her sister. 

Daughter Charlie and her boyfriend Kelin took Michael out to a bar and he had a great time.

Great Grandson Aayden in a friends pool and doesn't he look cute!

Grand daughter and her husband took Olivia to see the Pacific Ocean! 

Haven't done anything during August because of a lengthy hospital stay.

God Bless Friends and Family and God Bless America.
