One HUGE Thank You!


Getting married is alot of work... or at least it can be. Everything just doesn't miraculously fall into place... unless you have wonderful people to help you with it all. This is where I have to give the BIGGEST thank-you of my life! First of all, to my amazing mother for making our day so magical and so memorable. She put an incredible amount of effort and time into every detail, especially the food and the decor. Seriously, it couldn't have been done without her.

Lots of family and friends said they wanted to be of assistance and asked what they could do. It just blows my mind how wonderful family is! Especially ours; we are so blessed. Zach and I have a lot of people to thank:

Lee and Katie for taking our pictures and being part of the joint wedding celebration, Ma and Pa Adams, Holli, Heidi, Char, Karen and possibly others I'm not aware of for assembling 300 steak and chicken kabobs, Bryce & Elaine for their help with all sorts of wedding tasks, Tony and Chris for being our Grill Masters, Donita, Aunt Charlotte and Aunt Char for helping in the kitchen along with Shaelyn, Grandma Merrick and Aunt Verla, and I'm sure so many others.

Allen, Carol, Austin, Ashley, Lee, Katie, Connor and Elaine for setting up and I'm sure they all helped take down as well. I know the Adams family did too! Grandma Steiner and Grandma Merrick for the delicious homeade rolls and Aunt Verla again for baking 800 snickerdoodle cookies! The entire Steiner gang for cutting up tons of fruit. Ashley and Carol (yet again) for lending us their awesome wedding decor. And Ashley (once more) for taking pictures during the reception!

We had so many people travel LONG distances - Mike & Heidi with kids, Joe & Holli, Vern & Yolanda, Bryce & Elaine, Koleen, Lisa & Richie, Rich & Sherry, and Alton and Tammy... just off the top of my head. There were MANY more that we were shocked to see because they traveled quite a ways!

Making the Bouquet

Holli was a great help the night before the wedding in making my bouquet, the corasages and bouts. The girl has skills! And poor Joe was so patient while she helped me do this at last minute!
