Wedding Weekend

With Thursday behind us, it was time to celebrate the wedding!! Friday morning began with some amazing, fall-like weather, a family walk, followed by our new home being inspected. We all went over to see the house one more time. You boys checked out the backyard and your new bedroom. I'm not sure how much you really grasp the concept of moving, but you seem to understand that we are going to a new house. As you think of belongings you love, you continue to ask if they'll be coming to the new house with us. "My bed come to new house?" "My toys come to new house?" "My pillow and blanket come to new house?"

 

From the inspection, it was time for me to get ready for the rehearsal dinner. Zsu Zsu and I headed over early to begin the setup, and you boys and Daddy met us there later. After the rehearsal dinner, Tse Tse, myself, Larry, Charity, and Carly headed downtown for a girls night at a hotel (and my first night ever staying away from you boys!). We stayed up way too late, but had such a fun night!

 

 

Saturday morning began bright and early. We were on our way before 9 AM and ready to get this wedding underway. At first, I didn't know what we were going to do all day long, but once there, we realized there was much to do! Seating charts, cookie tables, cake tables, and more had to be decorated. Add eight girls needing to get their hair and makeup done, and time was flying!

Before we knew it, it was go time. The day could not have gone more smoothly or more beautifully. It was an all around perfect day and incredible wedding. You boys were such troopers - no naps all weekend, but you hung in there! You walked down the aisle, holding hands like pros. Thank goodness for Nenny, who was able to take you off during the ceremony so you could get some wiggles out (it had been a long day of waiting around for two two-year olds). Once the dancing began at the reception, my children disappeared, and two dancing animals emerged! You both were whipping out dance moves I didn't know you had. It must have been the atmosphere, but it was one of the highlights of my night, that's for sure!

There have been many ups and downs prior to this wedding, reaching the worst on Thursday, but God completely intervened! Thursday was nothing short of miraculous, letting this weekend be nothing but pure joy and celebration. I was honored to have our entire family standing by Tse Tse and Aaron's side on Saturday. I can't wait to see where their lives take them from here.
