As previously reported the Yogi’s made a road trip to Colorado last week to see these two get married.

Meet Brian and Jillian at the rehearsal dinner hosted by Brians’s parents. Brian is a very nice guy. Jillian is our youngest niece. She is very special as she is one of my three most favorite nieces. Here is Mary, Jillian’s next older niece, she is also one of my three favorite nieces. While we are at it lets meet the family! You got time right?

Here is Mary’s son Mr. Beans. He is a very sweet and well loved boy. He and SuperPizzaBoy are good friends.

Here is the eldest daughter and another one of my three favorite nieces, Dana, with her friend Adam who accompanied her from Australia where Dana works.

Dana is a fellow blogger. Check it out, Dana of Oz.

Let’s meet the girl’s parents, what do you say?

My Sister, Ellen, her husband (and world’s best brother-in-law) Irv, and the world’s cutest flower girl (more later). Check out Ellen’s blog. What can I say? We are a blogging family.

We got through the rehearsal dinner unscathed. It was at a nice restaurant in downtown Colorado Springs. I managed to sneak out and score a geocache. Mark one up for Yogi is what I say! I did it for you Jillian!!

So anyways we gathered at the outdoor wedding spot the next day. It had been clouding up and raining every day but Providence provided a beautiful clear day! Ellen and Jillian had planned everything perfectly and rain was not part of the plan. No way!

The Yogi’s were there. You can tell it was a little breezy. Can you believe how I tied my tie. It’s like I’m some sort of Okie or something. I hate them when they are that short. SPB’s looks sharp though. I was so worried about his, that I didn’t even notice mine.

The groom showed up, that is pretty much required. Now a couple of his buddies, lets just say they showed in time.. I have a feeling Brian will always be there for Jillian.

Mr. Beans, the world’s handsomest ring bearer.

The Groomsmen. The invitation said to wear your uniform. My Cub Scout Assistant Den Leader’s uniform had a stain or I’d of worn it.

Irv bringing his daughter Jillian down the aisle.

Exchanging the vows.

I missed the kiss!! Can you believe it. I blew the money shot. Sweetie whacked me a good one. I deserved it.

They are married now.

World’s cutest flower girl and sharpest dressed ring bearer.

The three sisters and Brian. Can you believe the smiles on those girls?

My dad, Gramps was there.

And then off to the reception downtown.

We kept our eyes on these two, talk about trouble when they get to scheming.

Partial Redemption? Maybe?

I can get nothing past that Dana. I love her smile.

Small World, the Official Photographer, Miss C, lives in Oklahoma City, her day job is as fellow Chemical Engineer!! and she works for another natural gas company (CrustyGasGal maybe?). So you know she is brilliant, attractive, hard working, and a great photographer. Right? Watchit – I’m looking at you!

Sweetie, beautiful as always.

Mr Beans and the Flower Girl were cutting a rug.

Sister Ellen and two of her daughters were showing everybody how it is done. Ellen is the queen of planning and organization. The reception was wonderful.

SPB danced with his Mom.

Jillian with Gramps.

Brian and Jillian,

May the love of God be above you to overshadow you, beneath you to uphold you, before you to guide you, behind you to protect you, close beside you and within you to make you able for all things, and to reward your faithfulness with the joy and peace which the world cannot give neither can it take away.
