Jacob and Amber's Wedding - Pre-Wedding - 06-09 Aug 2008

I arrived in Sioux City three days early, to help take care of Jacob and do whatever helpful work I could pull off - mostly calming Jacob down, as it turns out, and staying out of the way. It did give me a chance to meet Amber's family and bridesmaids ahead of time, which was helpful. And I was able to get a few pictures while I was at it.

(Note that these pictures took place up to and including the pre-wedding setup on the day of the wedding, but exclude the rehearsal itself.)
