shhhhh it's a secret.....

shhhh...no one knows.....we snuck out of the house early this am, in a snow storm and icky, icy roads to drive up north....

ohh lalala why is jess wearing white and looking so perty?

why?

because today is her WEDDING DAY! jon and jess decided to "just do it already!" in perfect j&j style by having a secret, surprise, spontaneous wedding!

dad, mom, cry, quinn, naters, jess's mom and step dad, naters and moi were the only ones in attendance. it was perfect. totally their day, their way!

they got hitched at their church, in the middle of no-where-northern n.b- they have this amazingly fabulous church with the most wonderful pastor! the ceremony was ultra relaxed mixed with lots of tears, love and joy...and 2 little boisterous boys...who shared their love all through the ceremony...more on that later

jess's lovley and perfect hair piece (how did her mom find it on super, short notice?)

jess taking her last sip of the bubbly before heading to the church

nate chilling on the steps, he wanted the best seat in the house

jess reading her vows, which were beyond amazing...jon wrote his as well

nate got tired and took a rest...

what's a wedding with out your adorable nefew running up to give you a hug...in the middle of the ceremony

quinn decided to share his love too

nate had to give another round of hugs

seal the deal baby (jess, love the hand placement)

evidence that i was there

trying to get a pic with the boys...

my camera decided to play fickle with me and my pics turned out simply gross and unusable. i will bug a copy of my sis's and parent's pics for my albums...

all in all it was a fabo day. i am thrilled for j&j, i am SO glad that jess is my "official" sis, she is wonderful (i prayed jon would marry a gal i loved...he scared me for a while, with those other girls. ha)

they plan on having a "proper" ceremony next year, with a whole wedding and reception. honestly, what's most, super important is that they found each other (and that i like her) and they got hitched...their way!

i love you guys. many blessing, love and kiddos's (the human kind, no more pets) thank you for allowing us "in" on your special day!
