PICTURES FROM THE WEDDING...

MY BROTHER AND SISTER-IN-LAW'S WEDDING WAS A BEAUTIFUL AND FUN EVENT.

I'M GLAD MY KIDS COULD PARTICIPATE IN THEIR UNCLE BOO'S WEDDING... ROWAN WAS SO PROUD TO BE THE FLOWER GIRL... AND ZMAN, WELL, ZMAN DIDN'T QUITE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT... BUT HE SURE SEEMED TO LIKE THE CLOTHES AND THE ATTENTION THAT CAME WITH THE TITLE OF RING BEARER.

WE DROVE DOWN TO THE BAY AREA ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON.  AFTER A MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE TIME OF THE REHEARSAL, WE GOT TO THE CHURCH AND THE KIDS DID THEIR THING... NO PROBLEMS.

ZACHARY DID GET A LITTLE GRUMPY AFTER THE PRACTICING... AS YOU CAN SEE...

BUT HE GOT OVER IT... ONCE DADDY LET HIM SIT WITH MOMMY :)

HE COULDN'T DECIDE IF HE WAS HAPPY... OR GRUMPY... BUT THESE PICTURES CAME OUT TOO DAMN CUTE!

PERSONALLY, I THINK DEREK DID A GREAT JOB WITH THOSE TWO PHOTOS.  YOU CAN TOTALLY SEE BOTH ATTITUDES THAT YOU CAN GET FROM ZACH... AND BOY IS HE A HAM WHEN IT COMES TO THE CAMERA.

AFTER THE REHEARSAL AT THE CHURCH, WE HEADED TO THE RESTAURANT.

ROWAN AND I FELT UP TO SOME CAMERA TIME... SO THIS IS ONE OF THE BETTER PICTURES DEREK WAS ABLE TO GET.  ROWAN HAS THIS THING ABOUT PUTTING HER CHEEK RIGHT NEXT TO MINE.  LET ME TELL YOU, SOME OF THE OTHER PHOTOS WEREN'T VERY FLATTERING.

NOTICE HER CROWN??  SHE JUST HAD TO WEAR IT FOR THE REHEARSAL.  SHE KEPT SAYING SHE WAS THE PRINCESS... WELL, CHECK OUT THIS PRINCESS BELOW...

MR. ZACHARY HAD TO GET IN ON THE CROWN ACTION.  I THOUGHT HE LOOKED TOO HAPPY AND TOO CUTE TO PASS UP ON TAKING HIS PICTURE.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO SHARE THE FAMILY PHOTO.  I'M REALLY GLAD IT CAME OUT SO WELL.  I'M HOPING THE ONES WE TOOK WITH THE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER WILL COME OUT JUST AS GOOD.

AND HERE IS ONE OF MY BOYS... AREN'T THEY JUST ADORABLE?

EXCUSE DEREK'S GUM... I WISH I HAD SOME KIND OF PHOTOSHOP TO EDIT THAT OUT ;)

AFTER A LONG DAY, WE RETURNED TO OUR HOTEL ROOM...

 

THE NEXT DAY WAS THE WEDDING.

THANKS TO ROWAN, WE WERE UP AT THE BUTT-CRACK OF DAWN.  I THINK SHE GOT US UP AT 8AM WHEN WE WERE PLANNING ON GETTING UP AROUND 9AM.  OH WELL.  THE KIDS STILL DID A FANTASTIC JOB THAT DAY.

THE KIDDOS FINALLY DRESSED AND READY TO GO...

PRINCESS ROWAN... SHE LOOKS A BIT WASHED OUT IN THIS PICTURE.... BUT SHE HAD A TID-BIT OF MAKE-UP ON AND LOOKED SO GROWN UP AND STUNNING.

THE BOY... WITH HIS GOOFY, YET EXTREMLY CUTE, SMILE.  HE LOOKED SO GROWN UP IN HIS TUX.  I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW HANDSOME HE WAS :)  BUT I GUESS I AM BIASED.

AFTER THE CEREMONY, WE CAME OUTSIDE AND THERE WAS THIS REALLY PRETTY FOUNTAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COURTYARD.

WELL, ROWAN WENT TO SIT BY IT AND I TOOK THESE PHOTOS OF HER...

I WENT TO COSTCO.COM AND ORDERED A FEW (OR A LOT... LOL) OF THESE PICTURES OF HER BY THE FOUNTAIN.  SHE SIMPLY LOOKED TO BEAUTIFUL TO PASS THOSE UP... EVEN THE PHOTOGRAPHER TOOK PICS OF HER BY THE FOUNTAIN.  NOW I REALLY CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THOSE!

I SNAPPED THIS PICTURE OF MY MOM, BROTHER AND ZACHARY OUTSIDE TOO.  IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT MY LITTLE BROTHER GOT MARRIED ON SATURDAY!!

FROM THE RECEPTION... BOO AND HIS WIFE, AMY, CUTTING THEIR CAKE.  IT WAS SURE TASTY :)

THEY THOUGHT SO TOO...

 

AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST...

THE GROOM AND HIS FLOWER GIRL...

UNCLE BOO AND PRINCESS ROWAN...

THERE YOU GO.  THERE WERE OTHERS, OF COURSE... BUT NOT AS GOOD OR NOT THAT INTERESTING...

LIKE OF THE DINNER AND THE BEER BOTTLES THAT MY HUBBY DRANK AT THE REHEARSAL DINNER... LOL.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THESE!!
