A Beautiful Wedding to Remember!

One of my cousins got married yesterday. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and *she* was a beautiful bride. It was so bittersweet (I fought back tears *many* times) because this cousin was only 9 or 10 (my children's age) when *I* got married...and here she is, making a lifelong covenant of her own! It is terribly hard to accept...I know people say this all the time (but it's true): time flies by much too quickly. The minutes, hours, days, months and years just keep ticking by. I think I need to stare at clocks more...that way time will appear to slow *way* down! :)

My handsome boys on our way into the wedding...

 Lovely Madelyn...guestbook attendant extraordinaire!

Jaxson and Mama (photo-bombed by X)...

Baby Dinah was there too! She looked incredibly sweet in her dress...I got a lot of snuggle time in with her at the reception!

My cousin and her groom (a gorgeous couple, truly!)...

At the reception...

Xavier with another classic photo-bomb (he is such a ham!)...

Eloise...getting her *twirl* on!

Although my boys were too shy to do the dollar dance, Madelyn wasn't!

Me and another cousin of mine! :)

The boys were so excited when they brought the cake around!

My family, dancing to *we are family* (they even got my grammie up to dance! yay!)...

My love and me...

 
At the end of the night, everyone sent luminaries up. I stood back to watch with my Grammie (and snap some pictures!)...

We didn't get home until 11pm. For me, that is ultra-super-late-night. I was practically in tears (silly, I know....but my body just starts falling apart it seems when night comes!). 
It was a lovely afternoon/evening and so, so nice to be with family and friends! Another day for the memory books! :) 
Warmly, Katy
