This is how tired I was after celebrating at my sister's wedding last weekend: On Monday night, I pulled out the dental floss I was going to use, and then chucked the entire container into the toilet. I don't know why. This sent me into a fit of hysterical laughter, and I couldn't calm down for several minutes. Ben looked at me like I was a crazy person. Which I am.
The wedding was wonderful. Katie looked beautiful and everything was perfect, despite the flower girl insisting that "the wedding is messed up" when we weren't immediately lined up in the correct order to walk down the aisle. Clare slept through the whole ceremony, which was a relief. Some other kids were loud, but at least they weren't mine. She did cry through my toast at the reception, though. I tried not to take it personally.
I am so happy to have my new brother-in-law as part of our family. He is a great guy, and perfect for Katie. I really lucked out with my siblings-in-law. We all get along, which is wonderful.
I was going through my photos, and realized I don't have any of the ceremony, and hardly any of Katie and Andrew at the reception. I guess we'll have to wait for the professional photos for that.

| Clare at the end of the rehearsal dinner. She had enough. But aren't her tights fabulous? |

| The Bride and the Chief Bridesmaid, after our hair appointments and a mimosa or two. |

| Par-Tay Bus! We took pictures at the Capitol and then drove around and drank Miller Lite. Ah, Wisconsin. |
 |
| The Bride and Groom with my grandparents, who have been married for 66 years. The band asked them what their secret to a long, happy marriage is. My grandpa: "Don't talk." |

| The Newlywed game with shoes. They got 6 out of 6 correct. Katie's dress was gorgeous, I'll post a better picture when I get one. |

| Hmmmm...I see someone got a hold of my camera. |

| Bed time for Clare. Ben was so sweet - he took Clare up to our room and let me stay and celebrate with my family. I danced and danced, and then spent a half hour pulling bobby pins out of my hair. It was great. |
I love, love, LOVE reading your blog posts, Em!!! Your personality totally comes through. The wedding looked like fun! Clare's tights were most definitely fabulous, and you and Katie both looked beautiful! Ben didn't look too shabby in his tux, either. (Must be all that marathon training.) Can't wait to see a pic of you in your bm dress!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Katie! You both were absolutely stunning! I need more photos! One with your dress, one with Clare's dress, and of course a close up with Katie's dress! :)
