Reception

The Ceremony

I would like to say that my children were extremely well behaved during the wedding ceremony. But who am I kidding? They are 7, 2.5 and 1 years old. They were very entertaining to say the least. Here are some highlights...

1. Aidan insisting that he carry Aunt Kimmie's bouquet down the aisle because he didn't like his pillow (Aunt Kim convinced him to switch right before they walked down the aisle).
2. Aidan kept insisting that he walk with Chloe but he was suppose to walk with Aunt Kimmie, who kept telling him that she didn't want to walk alone. So he walked down the aisle with her. Than he saw Chloe walking alone and decided she shouldn't walk alone either. So he ran off the stage, through the church and walked back up the aisle with his sister. Very sweet.
3. Brenna and Aidan decided to test all of the battery operated candles during the ceremony and do a bit of redecorating.
4. Mom pulled her vows out of her cleavage--shocking dad.
5. Brenna, after wandering on the stage for a while, decided to find Mom. Not always easy when you are 30 inches tall and Mom and two others are wearing the same dresses. First she went to Aunt Kimmie, looked up--"No, that's not Mom." She looked to her right and saw another blue dress, so she walked to the next dress. She looked up at Aunt Kim--"Nope, not Mom either". Looks to her left one more time, grabs Mom's dress and looks up--"Jackpot"!

Before the Ceremony

Getting All Dressed Up!

Chloe has been looking forward to getting all dressed up for this wedding for months. She couldn't wait to have curly hair either. Chloe's hair is getting thicker but it is incredibly difficult to curl. So you can imagine her excitement at having her normally board straight hair curly.


My uncle Randy felt the need to point out his latest pimple as we were applying makeup.

Aunt Kim is showing off her curly hair for the wedding. We added fun silver sparkles to all of our hair too.

Mom is getting the final touches done to her makeup and hair. She was enjoying all the pampering and was half asleep while Sarah did her hair.

Here is Chloe's final look for the wedding. Isn't she gorgeous? She is such a beautiful little girl who is growing up so fast. We have been so blessed to be her parents!!

Brenna was not sure about all the fancy dresses, new hairstyles and makeup. She kept hearing voices that sounded familiar but no one looked the same. So as you can imagine she was a bit clingy and just wanted Mom (even though I didn't look like the mom she sees everyday).

Brenna looked like an adorable little angel in her cream colored dress and flower wreath. She was beautiful!! She was so cute. I didn't think she would leave the flower wreath on her head but she did. She also got mad if it fell off and wanted it back on right away. She loves pretty things.


We had a great time getting all dressed up and ready for the wedding. It is not every day we get to wear formal dresses, have our hair, makeup and nails done, and feel like princesses.

Wedding Rehearsal

We had a late rehearsal due to everyone's work schedules on Friday. The kids were very tired and cranky and were not exactly cooperative. But we had fun anyway.

Wedding Set Up!!

I have lost track of all the hours that went into planning Mom and Dad's vow renewal and wedding. The past week has been full of many long nights and early mornings. Here are a few pictures of us setting up the Fellowship Hall for the big event.





Brenna was practicing her flower girl skills.
