The Wedding

The kids' officially have a new aunt! Welcome to the family Aunt Karla! (officially - as Karla has been with us for over 6 years!)

Today Rob and Karla got married. The ceremony was beautiful, as were her two little flower girls! Although we were running a tad late to the wedding and weren't 100% sure we were even going to make it in time, and things got a little stressful getting there, once we arrived, all was fine. The wedding was outdoors at a lovely old mansion. The weather was perfect and overall the entire evening was too! The girls came down the aisle with their heads held high and smiling the whole way. They forgot to throw the rose petals till about half way down, at which point Bethany all but froze, grinning from ear to ear I think she dumped every petal from her basket as her feet appeared glued to that one spot and the bridal party tried desperately to coax her down further. She just stood there grinning and even waved at a few! Finally as the bride began to make her entrance, Hope just pushed her the rest of the way. It was priceless! Bethany told me before the ceremony that she just didn't think she could stand there that long and not talk, but she did great, once she made it down the aisle!

The reception was just as wonderful. Bethany danced her little behind off with nearly every guest in attendance. She finally began to crash when they slowed things down to throw the garter and bouquet, but she hit the dance floor immediately after determined to keep up. She was half asleep and sitting on her bottom in the middle of the dance floor moving to the beat when we finally drug her away to say goodnight! Hope was a little off this evening. She just wasn't feeling well, a little peaked, and coughing. I just hope she's not getting sick for our trip! And Roman, well, I think for him at this age weddings are just icky, boring at best. He did love that London Broil though, as he went back for 3rds and then 4ths when the chef wasn't looking!

It was a beautiful wedding and I wish Karla and Rob much happiness!
