Last Friday night, we went to help finish setting up for the wedding. We hung out for a bit, had the rehearsal, ate some pizza, and then headed home to rest up for the big day!
On Saturday, Aunt Annie and Uncle Charles got married! Overall, the day went great! In the morning, I rushed around and got everything ready. Aunt Katie even came by for a quick visit. After lunch, Macie and I left to get our hair done and the others stayed back to nap. Macie was so excited to get her hair done and was so well behaved. She sat there perfectly still the whole time! When we got home, it was time to get everyone dressed. That was quite an undertaking, but we pulled it off.
Once we got to the church, it was time for pictures. Overall, the kids did well for the pictures. The worst part was between the pictures and the actual wedding. The kids were restless and it was a LONG hour for me! Lilah was super cranky and clingy all day (turns out she was getting an ear infection). We decided last minute that I would carry her down the aisle. When I got to the end, I handed her off to Brian so I could do my job as the matron of honor. Macie and Gavin did a great job. Gavin started walking fast and Macie was yelling “slow, slow” to him. Too cute! They stayed up there the whole time and did a great job!
The ceremony was beautiful! After the ceremony, we had to wait for a while before we could be introduced back in. While we were waiting, the guys stripped down to their super hero shirts for when we were announced in. We all danced in and it was fun!
The reception was a blast! Annie and Charles had a fun first dance, Allie and I gave a great toast, and everyone broke it down on the dance floor. Thankfully, everyone helped clean up so it wasn’t too bad at the end.
My in-laws were kind enough to get a hotel room so that Brian could take the kids to them during the reception. They planned to keep them all night for us so we could sleep in. Our plan was to keep them at the reception until around 8, but by 7 they were asking to go to the hotel. Not only were they excited to go stay there, they found out their cousin, Parker was there, too! Plus, they were wiped!! As far as they were concerned, they got to do all of the important stuff…walk down the aisle, eat, cake, and dancing! The kids ended up staying up until 10pm, but were good the next day. Thank you so much Grammie and Pops!
Macie wore Gavin’s shirt and I wore Brian’s shirt so we wouldn’t mess up our hair!
I included this pic because you could see my hair!
