Wedding Shower! :)

Last night, the Ritters, my family, the Tornatores & the Summers families hosted a wedding shower for Mark & I. A lot of our family & friends showed up & blessed us tremendously! We had a great time, celebrating with everyone!

The Tornatores catered our dinner (it was delicious!)! The R ladies made some delicious desserts! My sisters made cake pops & cookies... Zipporah, Emma, Lilli, Grandma, Bethany E & Tabitha all took some great photos... Emma did my hair (& did an awesome job!)... The R's, T's & S's all helped us decorate... Mrs S & Sonia mailed out our wedding invitations & designed all the decorations... Thank you to everyone who made this a possibility!

We are so grateful for the love, support, encouragement, friendship & prayers that everyone has given us, as we're starting out this journey together! We have been blessed! God is Faithful! :)

Here are some photos taken last night, by +Bethany England, my sister Lilli & my Grandma. Thanks for taking these photos!!! Enjoy!
