Thank you Scott for giving us all an excuse to get together and hang out for a weekend; it was so much fun! First, Becky flew in on Halloween night to stay the week with me. Mom came the next day so we had some fun shopping. The best part was having Stephen watch the kids so we could go out almost kid-free since Ezra was with us. We found some good stuff! Most of my siblings stays with us at our house after the wedding. I was so excited to host, and hope to do it more often.
Then came the wedding. I love weddings; even on tv whether they are real or fake. I love watching the bride come down the isle and see the look on the grooms face as she finally makes it into his arms. It makes me teary eyed sometimes. Sydney looked gorgeous in her simple yet elegant white gown. Scott looked so handsome in his maroon Woolen Mill tie, and happy as could be. I love having family gatherings especially when we can all be together because that doesn't happen too often anymore.
Weddings are about the only place you can get away with wearing the same dress, so we took advantage.
It's also a great time and place to get a family photo.
The ceremony was short and sweet, then we had three more hours to kill before the reception started. So we cranked up the music and played musical chairs. Then everyone got to dancing doing the Hokey Pokey, Bunny Hop, and a conga line. There was lots of food, fun, and laughter. While we were inside enjoying ourselves Joseph and his family and a few others were outside "decorating" Scott and Sydney's car. They put confetti in the vents, oreos all over the car inside and out, lipstick on the windows, dog food on the hood of the car and finally saran wrapped the whole thing.
I'm not sure who or how this photo was taken, but I just think my sister is so pretty and dainty.
