I know I said on
Monday that I would continue with the wedding stories and pics on Tuesday, but the day just got away from me! This week's calendar is just as busy as last weeks' schedule, and I'm trying to play catch up with paperwork, laundry, dishes, and especially sleep!
Even though today is another busy day, I've got a short bit of time to share a little more of the exciting wedding weekend!
Saturday morning started bright and early! Sarah, Ellie and I had 8am hair appointments to get to. Up-do's were the bride's request so that's what we did!
After our hair was done, I ran home to finish putting together everything we all needed for the day! That was a task because I had to consider that we would be gone all day, weather would get chillier as the day went on, and the little kids would need pajamas and some "just in case" clothes! The girls and I were doing our make-up and getting into our dresses at my sister-in-law's house, so I had to remember all of that, too! Plus, I had to remind Jay(multiple times) what time to feed everyone, get everyone dressed, leave for the church, etc.!
Multi-tasking mania, I tell ya!
It was exciting getting to my sil's where everyone was in some stage of getting ready. Hair was being done, make-up being applied....our own "Big Fat Greek Wedding" moment! Julie's almost sil, Courtney, had gotten champagne glasses for all of the bridesmaids of age and the bride, so mimosas were poured. Jay's mom had made a fruit bowl, quiches, and coffee cake and I brought apple stuffed french toast with homemade caramel sauce....so we all ate a good brunch.
More importantly, Julie was beaming! She was so excited and happy and she looked beautiful!:)
When she came down in her wedding dress, we all 'ooh'd' and 'aah'd and her smile couldn't have been any bigger!

The wedding itself was wonderful. Tom and Julie both looked so happy! The "I do's" were exchanged and the groom kissed his bride! It was a very happy moment!
While the bride and groom were congratulated by their guests, we had some time before leaving for pictures. I brought my good camera and was hoping(fingers crossed, prayers said!) to get a family picture that was Christmas card worthy since we were all dressed up for the day! My dad took about 30 pictures and at least a couple were really good!(Everyone looked and smiled...except Luke, who wasn't looking at the camera for any of them! I have no idea what the heck he is looking at!)
Here's a sneak peek.....
