Chris's little sis had been engaged for over a year... And I think I can speak for us all when I say their engagement was a long time coming! We showered, we bachelor'ed and bacheloretted and the day had come! Owen posed this way on his own...
Even dietitians eat chocolate! I made chocolate dipped strawberries for the morning of the wedding.
This one was enjoying the greenery at the venue during the rehearsal.
FUN and GORGEOUS bridesmaids
The Britton fam at a restaurant... Not a usual sight!
The happy couple!
Adventurer much happier among the greenery
Miguel had a spirited shirt on
The kids were really great
Mostly great
Beauty
My lil sis and Paul
YAY!!! Now they know how to do it tomorrow.
My gal pal Penny did our makeup
We took this pic as we were laughing at her bangs but I really love this picture.
Ara enjoyed smelling the hydrangeas all morning long.
One of the best moments of the day was when Amanda's makeup was done and she went and looked at herself in the mirror. She broke out in tears! It was such a great moment.... We of course were being silly and giving her a hard time about "Oh I'm so beautiful I'm moved to tears" and laughing but wow. The emotions and reality had sunk in... And now she was pretty and prepped to go to the venue!
These little handsomes were so good as well. I was a bit in over my head with getting them and myself dressed as my dress fit just perfectly around the middle and anytime I bent over to tie Owen's shoe or adjust Ara's dress I wasn't sure if my dress would survive! It did, and we all did. Owen's rental shoes must have been flung off his feet 346 times due to his spidey moves and the laces being about 3 inches long. I was sweating with this routine. Chris was with the guys and came a little later.
Ironically all the snacks I brought for Ara were white. This was really smart and totally unintentional. Cheese, popcorn, and banana. No worries if she got any on her dress. Good thing I didn't bring cherries and beets...
Kids were served first- bonus!
First breaded chicken product ever... And do you think she loved it or what???
These kids were loving the dance floor.
Every square inch of it.
Amanda and Josh claimed to not want to be the center of attention so of course they were. It all turned out so great with a very interactive reception. I liked how the DJ took song requests/dedications from the tables. A & J had us all laughing hard many times during the reception.
My kids. On the floor. In public. It happened. We survived.
So many good times were had~ the kids did well, Ara napped on me twice, Owen cried during a few speeches because he wanted them to end and the dancing to start up again. I was the designated driver which rarely happens, so Chris was a little dancier than normal. It was a crazy hot day which made taking pictures an adventure. The wedding party was fun and we all had a blast dancing during the decade montage of songs... CONGRATS AMANDA AND JOSH!!! Plan a few more trips alone, then expand the family!
