Once AGAIN, here at the 'ol bloggy-woggy-thingy-thang, I'm taking a break from the usual deep-dive off into geeky / nerdy stuff! This time to throw the spot-light on the recent 'kind-of-a-BIG-DEAL' event of my daughter Shelby's marriage---on October 16th-- to her most favorite fella-in-the-world, Mr. Trenton Willbanks! The ceremony took place in the 'Conservatory' at the BEAUTIFUL Will Rogers Gardens, in Oklahoma City.
Compared to the 'life styles of the rich and famous'-type folks, I guess you could say that my daughter's wedding (as well as the reception a week later!) wasn't in the 'epic' category! But, it did INDEED take a hefty amount of planning and hard work! MOSTLY on the part of the TWO most important ladies in my life---- my BEAUTIFUL wife, Mrs. Debbie, and of course, Shelby herself!
Oh, they had help! A BIG shout-out here, to Trent's folks, Mrs. Kim and Charles! They've pretty much adopted Shelby into their family already, and they're also just about the nicest / most welcoming folks you could ask for as your kid's in-laws! Thanks for just being who you are, guys! (AND-- your MUCH-appreciated help in the set-up of 'the BIG event', of course!)
 |
| Kim and Charles Willbanks---some VERY nifty in-laws INDEED! |
 |
| Trent's Paternal Grandparents, Charles Sr. and Mrs. Cynthia. Some more VERY nifty folks! |
Another hearty and high-volume SHOUT-OUT, to the GREAT gal, Mrs. Shannon (AND of course her hubby, Matt!--- they provided the NEAT-O venue for the reception, AND the GREAT food, thanks a TON guys!)--- their teaming up with us REALLY made the 'ol 'wedding-engine' hum along on ALL it's cylinders!
Nope, the wedding wasn't an 'over-sized epic'! BUT--- it WAS very real, genuine, and--- as my daughter said in her vows to Trent: 'I know it sounds CHEESY....' it was SWEET! Yes, I'm also a SHAMELESS sentimental 'ol softy! So, indulge a proud Loydster, and check out some pics (as well as comments & remarks, of COURSE!) of this LANDMARK event within the 'Ferrell-clan' (well, the Willbanks brood too, no doubt!)-----
 |
| The 'PROUD parents', and (QUITE handsome, if I don't say so myself!) brother Wade (who, along with his sweetie, Ms. Chloe, helped with some of the set-up and decorating! Thanks guys!)---with the beautiful Bride! The fanciest we've been dressed-up since..... well, let's just say it's been a good CHUNK of time! |
 |
| 'Bride and her Bro'! |
 |
| The Bride with Grandma, Sandy (Deb's mama!)--- and that swanky-looking brother of hers again! |
 |
| Son Wade escorting MY still-BEAUTIFUL bride, Mrs. Debbie, to her 'front-row' seat! |
 |
| The 'BIG moment'! ---For 'ol Loydster anyway! Walking my 'baby girl' down the aisle! I was SO proud, I nearly popped the buttons off of my shirt! |
 |
| The customary 'BIG-smooch', after the vows! |
|
| 'Ladies and Gentlemen, we proudly present to you, Mr. Trenton and Mrs. Shelby Willbanks'! |
 |
| The Bride with the wedding cake! |
 |
| Cutting into that cake! It was almost a work of art! BUT-- hey, cakes are made to be eaten! |
 |
Even MORE cake-slicing! By the way, the groom's folks provided a TERRIFIC dinner (at 'The Peperoni Grill'--- in Edmond, Oklahoma---where all the above 'cake-slicing-and dicing' took place!), for the whole wedding party and families! Thanks once again to Charles and Kim! Like I said above, they TRULY are just about the BEST we could hope for, when it comes to mama-and-daddy-in-laws!
|
Now, not only the 'big day', but the reception (as well as the couple's Honeymoon in Colorado!), is in the history books! But this is one little bit of history that I'll be VERY proud to look back on, and yes even revisit--- regularly and often!
Congrats to the happy young couple! May your life together be a LONG, HAPPY and BLESSED one!
 |
| NOT the happy couple! Just a little something to leave you all giggling! |
Just so all of you know, the 'wedding bells' will also be ringing for our son, Mr. Wade (and his sweetie, Ms. Chloe!)--- in slightly less than a year--- early September, 2023 in fact! SO--- be prepared for even MORE wedding pics around this time NEXT year! (You've been WARNED!---And--- In PLENTY of time!!!)
