Richard and I had a guest book, but we wanted something a little more fun, and a little more fitting to our picnic style reception - so we asked everyone to pose in our handmade beach towel photo booth!
The following are some great pictures of some great friends and family! Enjoy!
Those crazy Pederson Sistahs!
Pat and Dick Oelkers
Cathy and Nate Turner - who now have a new baby - Josiah!
Marta is bringing Sexy back! This is a wonderful picture of such a wonderful friend.
Jason and Angela, their son Caden was our ring bearer.
Paul is exorcising Sarah's Demons...or they're just goofing around! Nice legs Paul - did you shave for the wedding or are they just naturally smooth?
Greg and Emilie Campbell
Jared and his awesome mom Marnie! Jared - what's up with the shades?
Sandy and Alan, Richard's mom and brother.
Holy cow, it's Mr. Alaska - cosmo's very own Bachelor of 2007 was at OUR wedding...well Shannon DID nominate him. Ladies, if you like his looks Eric is still single, and a wondeful guy!
Mr. Scott Jorgenson
Ummm...Good thing the old fire department tradition was observed, although the dog is a new twist on the ass writing!
Holy cow - my Aunt Carolyn and Uncle John must have felt the LOVE in the air!
My intrepid photographer Heather, who is the BEST EVER!
Paul and Dianne are so cute!
Jimmie and Lori
Mr. and Mrs. Conner (aka my sister MeyMey and Seamus who sneakily got married in February of this year - an honest to goodness elopement!)
The Theis Family - Jason is wearing the chili cook-off apron that we won waaay back when we worked at Career Services together and we cooked up a batch of Salary Enhancing Chili!
Mr. Jarkko Toivanen...who apparently works for some sort of international spy organization...or Perry Ellis.
Look at my sexxxy girlfriends. This was just the beginning of a LONG and FUN night.
Look at all those Girl Scouts!
Mom with her two adopted sons - Tor and Mike. Tor came all the way up from Juneau, so it was quite the surprise to see him here.
Me and Pa.
Aedis, who is almost done with YEAR ONE of medical school and still loving it.
Kristin and Nathan are successful students at the Columbus Mississippi fighter pilot school, they pretty much rock.
Buddy and Sandy Harrel - who grilled their keisters off for us! Thank you!
This is my favorite photo booth picture. My friends Tom and Mary look so sweet, and WISE!
Holy ASRC PPE! That's a whole lot of professional geologists and engineers in one picture!
My sister Bethany, her newest Alica, and a smitten Aunt Carolyn.
My two very BEST friends ever. Heather, Danelle, I still owe you BIG for all that you did for me! Actually, I think I owe you big for the rest of my life...you two are so AWESOME.
Bob, Joy and Charmaree Cook. They instantly make you feel part of their family.
Ahh, another wedding spawned from ours, Kristin caught the bouquet, and seven months later she got hitched to Casey. We are proud to present Mr. and Mrs. Cook.
This is Casey and Thomas Hall Jr. III, Esq. and despite hanging out at the wedding, they did not end up married.
This is Big Al and Randy - They are friends, but not 'Buddies' as you can clearly see from the large gap between their bodies.
Audacious Jo worked very hard as Heather's able assistant.
Suellen and Noah are too cute - are those Michigan colors?
Johnny and Jess, who also have a new addition to the family - Baby Eli!
Pat and Janie look so INTENT!
Scott and Denetta, they're expecting a little squirt too. What's up with the folks at our wedding? It must have been a very fertile time....
The Oelkers side of the family getting the slide show ready. So how many Oelkers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Rich getting emotional previewing the slideshow.
Richard had two best men, his best friend Casey and his brother.
He's ready!
Oh wait, he needs more 'up time' on the foot...
...and some down time!
What's Jared doing?
Showtime!
Richard wore a black tux and silver accesories. Everyone else got royal blue.
Caden, our very silly ring bearer.
What are we doing? You OK Rich?

Jordan who is somewhat of a beauty professional did my make-up, and I thank the lord she agreed to do it! I am like a kid with fingerpaints when it comes to cosmetics :)
