Jacob had the honor of serving as a groomsman in his good friend Tim's wedding in Vicksburg, Mississippi. What a wonderful weekend!
The happy couple, Marla and Tim, at the after-rehearsal luau! Tim's mother had leis made with real flowers flown in from Hawaii for the big event. They were beautiful! They also had a steel drum duo, fun frozen drinks, and trivia games about the couple--a very lively time!
Tim and Jacob became good friends while working together as engineers for FMC, first in College Station while at Texas A&M, and then in Houston.
The beautiful bride with the groomsmen, outside of the Historic Courthouse Museum, where the wedding took place. Marla's mother has given a lot of her time over the years to preserving the Courthouse, and Marla says that since she was a little girl, she has wanted to be married in the historic courtroom. They don't ordinarily allow weddings there anymore, but they made an exception for Tim and Marla.
We had a great time at the reception, too. Tim and Marla had planned so many things to make the evening very personal. My favorite was the song for their first dance. Tim is a talented guitarist and singer, so when he proposed to Marla, he proposed with a song he wrote. He recorded that same song for their first dance. To top it all off, Marla is a very talented dancer (she won Miss Vicksburg with her dancing!), so she taught Tim a beautiful waltz for their big moment. I'm not sure there was a dry (female) eye in the place!
