brister/cagle wedding -- what an event!!

1st Lt. Aaron K. Brister weds Kelley Cagle -- July 29, 2006. Both families are friends of ours with the Bristers being really special family friends. They were our next door neighbors for about 7 years. Tyler and Aaron grew up together and we have always considered Aaron a part of our family. Tonight was a very special and beautiful night culminating a busy week of fun activities. Aaron is a USAF Academy graduate and flys a C21 (VIP jet) and Kelley is a RN. They will be living in Colorado Springs where Aaron is stationed at Peterson AFB.

Best man speech --- Paul, Aaron's older brother (also USAF -special forces) gives a very touching speech and toast to the bride and groom. Both of these boys were such a positive and encouraging force in Tyler's life

Bruce and I with Tyler looking all handsome in his tux before the wedding starts

Cutting the cake - I wish you could see all of Kelley's dress -- it was gorgeous!!
