Throwback Thursday Mr and Mrs Shoemaker

 Hey Friends,

It is time for another Throwback Thursday post. Monday was my cousin Deidre and her husband Ben’s 8th wedding anniversary!

That sent me on the path of remembering their beautiful wedding. I decided to share with you a post that I wrote the day after their wedding

Deidre and Ben, has it really been eight years since you tied the knot? According to my calendar, that is true. It is hard to believe! In eight years, you have lived a lot of life! God has blessed your home with three beautiful children and led you down the path of ministry!

 I love you both so very much, and I'm proud to call you my family! I'm looking forward to seeing you next month!

Now, 2025 Odie will be quiet and let 2017 Odie finish out this post! I hope you enjoy the look in the review mirror for Throwback Thursday with Mr. and Mrs. Shoemaker!

“Hey Friends,

This is Odie checking in from the soon to be rolling BoggsMobile. We are West Plains, Missouri bound. I am looking forward to a fantastic week with Pastor Dwain Galiher and our friends at Junction Hill Pentecostal Church. 

This week has been filled with wedding preparation for my cousin Deidre Boggs. It is unbelievable that my baby cousin/sister is now married. I have dreamed and prayed with Deidre about this day for along time and now it is a day in history. It was a privilege to be by her side to see it unfold.

Deidre was blessed to find Ben. I am so thankful God brought them together. Deidre and Ben tied the knot last night. They are now Mr. and Mrs. Shoemaker. I am thrilled for them. We are excited to officially welcome Ben into our family. They were blessed with a beautiful wedding and a fabulous day.

Below are several pictures. I hope you enjoy a glimpse into the weekend. First here are a few pictures I snapped during the day and at the rehearsal dinner. Thank you to the Shoemaker family for a delicious feast from City Barbecue. 










Wedding Day Fun




The rest of the pictures are pre and post wedding. 
















































Everything turned out fabulous. It was great to see so family and friends. Now I am exhausted and I plan to sleep all the way to Missouri. 

Thanks for reading. Have a fantastic weekend.
