Me all dressed up and ready to go see my son get married.

My son's wedding was held outdoors on the bride's family farm just north of Tallahassee near Havana, Florida. It was a beautiful spring day with sunny skies and the temperature at ceremony time was about 76 degrees F. It was a true Southern style wedding with the groom and all of his groomsmen attired in top hats and tails complete with white gloves and canes. They all looked very dapper! The ceremony was held on the front steps of the bride's family home with the reception a short walk away in the pasture under a huge tent. On the menu were barbequed ribs, chicken and pork with various side dishes including green beans, macaroni and cheese, potato salad and bread. The wedding cake was surrounded by dozens of individually decorated cupcakes. We all had a wonderful time and now the newlyweds are off on their honeymoon at a romantic 100 year old bed and breakfast overlooking the ocean in St. Augustine. We all had a wonderful time at the wedding, but I am just exhausted!

Oh my Lois, this looks just gorgeous! The bride is beautiful and your son looks so handsome. Love your dress! What a wonderful place to have the ceremony, those stately trees and that beautiful home are such a perfect backdrop. Thanks for sharing these pictures of the joyous event. Now get some rest! Kathy
Beautiful pictures of a special day!
That sounds so delightful, Lois. It does look like a beautiful southern wedding and you look absolutely stunning.
Lois, these are beautiful images and what a fun and elegant wedding. thanks for sharing. these were so special.
You look gorgeous! I love the photo on the lawn with the swords. Very neat!! I'm sure you all had a grand time.
I am so glad the weather cooperated - what wonderful pictures! I absolutely adore the 'bubble catcher'. I am so glad everything turned out perfect for your son and his wife ... and for you. You look absolutely exquisite! Not exhausted at all! And now you can kick back and relax for a while, right? Congrats to the happy couple.
Three cheers!
A happy (if exhausting) time!
Nice weather for a great day. I guess the very elegant lady of the first picture took all the others nice images. The cake is absolutely gorgeous!
Congrats Mom! Now you can rest up.
What a fantastic wedding and I must say that you look so nice. Now you can rest hopefully. :)
You look exquisite--I especially loved the bubble blower and the newly married couple look wonderful.
May God bless them with every great joy. My darling and I are about to celebrate your 27th year together.
Now you can kick back and relax, yes? Too bad you didn't live a little closer, Clytie and I would take you for a long walk in our beloved and magical forests.
We are very glad everything went well. Love your dress - and the whole affair looks picture perfect.
Thanks for sharing!

Warmest congratulations Lois! How wonderful for you and your family! It was clearly a beautiful wedding, and you looked fabulous as well as the bride and her groom :o) Thanks so much for sharing your happy pictures here!
Oh Lois, thanks for sharing this. You look beautiful. What a lovely occasion, and how interesting to see how other people 'do' weddings - 76 and sunny sounds perfect. You'd be lucky to get that in UK! You will feel tired - and probably a bit 'flat' now. Plan some treats just for you.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful day with us via your gorgeous pictures. You look absolutely beautiful, which is apropos for the mother of the groom, but not always easy to pull off. Fantastic dress!
I'm sure you're glad it's all over, but you'll be reliving the occasion via wonderful memories the rest of your life!
This looks like a classic wedding. I don't think I have been to a wedding where all of the groomsmen wore tails with top hats and canes. And there were a lot of groomsmen. Did they all do a song and dance routine at the reception?
What wonderful pictures and you look stunning. It sounds like it was a perfect day.
Sunny :)
A wonderful selection of photographs to share with us, Lois. I thank you so much.
The newly married couple under the guard of honour look very happy and incredibly attractive.
That dress you are wearing is exquisite. I would never be able to maintain that shawl around any part of me unless it were pinned in some way.
As other commenters have said, now have a rest for a week or so.
beautiful wedding, and the Groom's mum looked so beautiful and elegant. Congrats!!!! I bet you can still fit in your wedding dress. How do you do it?
What a wonderful day, isn't it! And you look gorgeous :)

Thanks everyone! Dave, I'm sure they would have done and song and dance routine if anyone had asked. They were really enjoying themselves in those outfits!
It looks absolutely lovely! Congratulations!
Well you look so pretty in your dress!!! And it looks like it was such a fun wedding indeed! Congratulations on your son's wedding! :)
You look fantastic, Lois! :-)
Looks like a beautiful wedding! You look very nice, too! Congratulations to the happy couple!!!
Wonderful memories! Did the bride's dress get bar-b-q sauce on it?
when i see the first i think :"I think the bride will be jealous"
The bride actually changed out of her dress into blue jeans at the reception (and so did her mother)! I was worried about getting BBQ sauce on my dress, but I didn't.
This is exactly what I imagine when I hear 'Southern Wedding'! That house is beautiful! It must of been sunny because of all the joy. Congratulations! Oh, and I love your dazzling look for the wedding :)
Great post with great photos showing great people!
Lois - you look lovely. I've seen your pretty face of course, but didn't see your enviable figure before. The farm house is very posh! And the wedding party looked splendid. Your new daughter-in-law seems a darling young woman.
Congratulations!! Looking lovely, Lois! What a beautiful events well captured with some great photos! Wahoo for great weather for the classy affair!
Oh my, Lois. What a grand picturesque setting. You are beautiful as the Mother of the Groom. I am sure you were exhausted at the end but what memories. Thanks for sharing with us. MB
Oh how beautiful! Now rest up. I KNOW you need it. And by the way- what a beautiful woman you are!
I'm late again, but congratulations to the newlyweds! You look so elegant in that fabulous dark blue dress. And you're right about the young men looking so dapper — love it! I love the house too, so neat and charming!
It sounds like an absolutely fantastic day, but I hope you've had time to sleep, sleep and sleep by now. :)
Wonderful photos! I love your dress! The top hats are so great, too. Thanks for sharing the photos!
You look amazing. The wedding looks grand. But my fav pic has to be of your grandsone catching bubbles.... methinks, love and marriage does not interest him much.......... yet!! Lol!!
Congratulations to you, your son and his new bride and your family. Much happiness!
Very pretty Lois, am glad you avoided the BBQ sauce.
I wish them long life and every happiness.
Love the bubble picture, he is so cute.
Lois, congratulations....what a happy day for you! Love the photos, it looks like it was a beautiful wedding and you looked very lovely yourself!
