WEDDING DAY!

The Wedding Day was great! Kendra looked beautiful, Trevor was handsome, and Kendra's brothers were aunrier (spelling) as ever! I apologize if these pictures are alittle heavy in some areas and not in others. I wish I could have been everywhere...but that is what the professionals are for. Please if any other have pictures to share...email me (click at the end of this post) and I will create a link for you. Love you Trev and Kenny - Rhiannon

Kenny writing her final thoughts to Trevor as his girlfriend/fiance. Ashley's day begins by doing hair. THANKS SO MUCH ASHLEY!!!
Jill's hair is almost done...except Ash needed a comb.

What would we have done without you and Amy today! Thank you!

This is Kalika (sorry if I have killed the spelling of your name throughout this blog). Kalika is married to Trevor's brother and going to have a BABY in December! YEAH! Maddie's hair - looking good Maddie!
THE RING
Maddie, Trev's cousin and Jill, Trev's sister Kenny and her makeup.
No now is not the time to have second thoughts...about what you should have done differently today:)

You day is beginning! It is really the day Kenny!
We were not short of donuts the morning of the wedding. Didn't anyone know that we still had to get into our dresses...which didn't stop any of us from eating donuts:)
Kenny receiving some last advice from her friend Heather
Look at Kendra's long locks! Wow Ash you can really do magic



Kendra was calm and collected all day because.... she had her Diet Pepsi. Note to all brides out there getting married at the Holiday Inn. They only serve Coke products and all 2 liter bottles are $10.00/piece for toasts...hmmm. For this reason, there will not be a community drink for all tonight during the toasts.
Kendra and Nancy, the flower lady. She did and always does a great job with the....
flowers. Anyone interested her shop is in Hebron and it is called Amanda's Cottage and Flowers.
Wow! Kenny your hair has never looked so full!
Carlece helping Kendra put on her make up Ashley, Kendra's niece doing her makeup too...
Eye liner...
Then mascara
Jill and Case of the split Zipper. Thanks to the makers and designers of our dresses many of us had trouble with zipping up and/or down our zippers. Unfortunately for Jill her zipper didn't make it and she was sewn in her dress.

The Bride and her flower girl



Videographer is here...time for him to get out and dress to get on!









Kendra the blushing Bride! You did and always look beautiful. You don't need a gown and a big day to feel that way anymore...because you get to wake up to your best friend that will forever make you feel that way. I felt like I was apart of some TLC crew with the photographers having a crew of 5-6 and the videographer.
The crews giving Trev the low down before he meets his blushing bride.
"I'm getting MARRIED TODAY!" says Miss Kendra Wiedel
Kendra meets Alea, Trevor's cousin.



Sister helping sister look pretty, but not over doing the bride. Thanks Kelli and Ashley for doing our hair. We really appreciate having family members in our family with great talents! Thanks again! The Generals arrive - Kenner, Patton and Casey Svitak - Great Nephews/ring bearers and their dad. It was his 5th Anniversary to his wife, Rhiannon Svitak, Matron of Honor.
The Crew of 10 - We missed you Mom/Grandma but are so happy that you are getting better and will be 100%. We love you and look what a beautiful family you have loved and supported. We could not have done it without you Grandma!

The Ring Bearers and Groom...impossible task to get them to not be moving and all smiling. Good Job Brock
Kalika leads Kendra to the feeding trough so that she doesn't faint on us during the ceremony. A HUGE thank you to Connie Behring, a great friend of the family (Grandmother to the flower girl) and others (sorry I don't know who you were) who helped serve the massive crew at the church.
Kelli, her flowers and hair. The fun little details of weddings
The men's flowers
Pat, Kendra's Uncle (he is married to her oldest sister) with his grandson Patton, a ring bearer.
The big man...the father of the bride Roger





The Sisters posing for someone else and I thought it would be fun to get the side shot.
Kendra having fun with her dress (or going to the bathroom)....you decide:)
I love this one...she is peeking at the crowd and waiting in anticipation.

Maybe they can afford an R after this wedding...just kidding! A GREAT CHURCH, Staff, and a loving support for them to continue to grow in their love of Christ and each other.



Mother/Daugther pic - Kelli is Kendra's sister.
Desi showing off her stuff - Desi is Cory (Kendra's brother's) daughter
The newly married couple's ride...
Bubble and Ring gals -Two of them are Mike's (groomsmen) daughters.

Roger with his grandsons...Caleb and Seth always greet Grandpa with the "pound." I had to get it on camera.







Trevor couldn't have a better friend be in charge of the gifts. Sorry the picture doesn't do him justice...BUT THANK YOU for all you did for them on their big day!
Kendra's great nephews after a long night! Sign of a good party!

If anyone else has pictures and wants to email me the link of your pictures...please do!

First post for the Jantzen's

Here we are the day before the big day. I, Rhiannon Kendra's niece, wanted to include my Grandma Jackie, Kendra's mom in the big day as much as possible. Here are some snipits of the rehersal so that you might not have been there in person, but you were definitely there in spirit. We love you Mom, Grandma, and friend. Although it would have been the best scenerio to have you at the wedding, the most important is for you to get better so that we can continue to have you in our lives. You mean so much to so many people. So many people have asked about you and are praying for you. We love you Grandma and Mom! Get well soon! In the meantime here are some pictures and videos so you are apart of the wedding just a couple hours delayed:) LOVE YOU! Rhiannon, Kendra and Trevor's blog editor and your favorite oldest granddaughter!
Here come the candleabras (sp?) What your phone is ringing again...odd?
There is the dress...think there will be pictures of it before the big day? Keep looking...
Think again. Try after the wedding for a picture of the blushing bride.
Kenny and her friends, Heather, Bobbi, and Jane-Jane
Trev's family - Kalika, Jane, and Maddie
Trev's Grandma
Centerpiece- this is my attempt at being a hip photographer. I will keep my day job!
Another of the rehersal dinner decor
again...

Cookies from Carol...they were yummie!
The Case of the Missing Candle. According to Ellyne's Bridal, they gave us 30 candles, but we ended up being short one (it looks like two, but we took one so we could find one to match.) We only had 29 pieces of bubble wrap...so it wasn't our fault -huh Kalika!

The CROSS!
Granite City for Lunch
Kenny in deep thought...if I run now they won't notice - JUST KIDDING!

Kenny and her future mother in law Jane
Trev thinking....what did I get myself into! If I could only show the world the to-do list I had today everyone would understand. JUST KIDDING!
Jane and I with the battle of the cameras!
Trev and his best man and friend - his brother Nick
Kenny's friends, Heather, Bobbi, and Jane

Precious ELLA. Sorry lady, I was testing my luck with little babies...I'm not too good, but you are still cute!
Look at that plate of food...we have to fit into what dresses in two days Jill?
The Jantzen family missing Bill (he had to work). HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE!
Off to David's Nails - Kenny soaking her feet.
The crew minus Jill and Carlece. AHHH!

Kenny getting her nails done by another bride herself...except that she is getting married TOMORROW. Yes she had to work until close! Ugh!
I love this picture of Kendra getting her nails filed.
Kenny and her ring
Kenny and her sister, Carlece

Finished toes
Isn't the flower fun?
Kenny negotiating her nails.
Poor Kalika only wanted a 15 minute manicure, which turned into an hour, because David (pictured above) was the one doing it. He was also being the traffic controller in the salon.
REHERSAL TIME:

Jasa the flower girl
Carlece and Patton (her grandson)
Baby Rylan - also Carlece's Grandson
Kenny and her sisters - Kelli and Carlece
How sweet is this...
Bubbi



Grandpa and the ring bearer pillow



Cory decided that he needed to be the first guest on record. Leave it up to Cory! Speaking of Cory. He was up to his regular self being silly as Kendra was giving orders.
Life wouldnt' be the same would it Kendra?


Roger and Kendra walking down the isle. Don't cry now Kenny! Trev awaiting his future Father in law to give up her hand.











Jane getting instructions on the reading.



We watched the video made by Rhiannon at the rehersal and ate the meal catered by a lady who works with Jane Jantzen.
This
This was a new idea on how to get all the ring bearers down the isle. Jasa would pull and the boys would throw the rings and flowers down the isle. What do you think Kendra?
