2-15-2003 Tim and Faith's wedding!!!!

On a cold windy sleety Feb. 15th in St. Louis, Tim and Faith got married. 

They chose Faith's Mom's church for their wedding venue.  Which helped keep the cost of their wedding really low.

 Looking beautiful! 

 While Faith was getting ready, Tim and his guys were getting some pictures taken.

 gotta have a few funny staged ones.  A friend of mine from Prestige took the pictures.  She had a lot of good ideas.

 Tim and Faith finally meeting up.  Faith gave Tim a present.  If I remember correctly, it was a watch.

 Faith's dress came with a cute cape and muff.  She was afraid she wouldn't get to use it because it would be to hot.  It turned out being too cold to have just it on for very long.

 Before the wedding they went to a couple places in St. Charles for photos.  First to the Ameristar Casino.

 Then to Trailhead Brewery

 Then it was too cold to go any farther.  Time to get back and redo makeup and hair for the ceremony.  Finally it was time for Faith to march down the aisle with her Dad.

 Finally Rachelle's turn

 and it goes on.

 finally

 and time to eat!  For a cheap venue, they had some really good food.  I think their whole wedding was under $5000---something pretty unheard of now-a-days.

 Apparently FAith and James had signed a prenuptial a few years before.  I think it said something about them marrying each other if they weren't married by a certain age.  Now they got to tear it up.

By the time the reception was over, the roads had gotten quite treacherous.  We were having a winter ice storm.  Many people didn't make it to the wedding because of the weather.  They missed a great time!
