The Ring Bearer makes it!

 
The ceremony was wonderful! Tman made it down the aisle with Aunt Natalie-with the pillow to his face. It was hilarious and it did not surprise me that he did that. I was just beyond thrilled he went down without any crying or screaming. He kept that pillow nestled to his face the entire way down. Once standing by everyone, he just added some entertainment by tossing the pillow in the air, taking the rings off and placing them in his mouth, and swaying the entire time...but not a peep of course from the little guy. It was cute watching his facial expressions during the ceremony. I really appreciate Aunt Nat handling Tman! It was sweet seeing them together. Only Caul's side got to see Tman in action as ring bearer. What's cute is Tman remembers it all. Even today he will see something or hear something and tell me 'that's like Aunt Lillipop and Uncle Caul's wedding"
 
 
Arriving to the reception.
 





Marcy attended the photobooth, which was a lot of fun! All the fun hats and props from this decade were a great touch!

LOVE, LOVE this detail!! It's an excerpt from The Great Gatsby!

I now understand #. Didn't get the purpose of them until this day. I was the Instagram # photographer for the day. I loved that role.




 
1st Dance. I just love wedding details and they did a wonderful job on those. I mean, look how beautiful it looks with a jazz band while they dance their first dance? We danced the night away! I loved the jazz band. Preggo was just glad she wore her wedged heels because it was so fun dancing to this band!


Cutting the cake! It was a BEAUTIFUL cake!






Rose playing tricks with Turner!
 
 
And the little ring bearer is out. He had a fun-filled day celebrating Aunt Lillipop and Uncle Caul. It was a beautiful day and so happy for them!



Going to the Chapel

We were ready! I loved getting all dolled up being preggo! It was so fun!

 Time to head to the chapel. We started with pictures at Shugie's house with seeing beautiful Lydia and then off to the chapel! While we were starting to put our dresses on, the professionals came for photography, so I stepped down. I always get a vibe from them that I'm 'too much' with my camera. That's why they get paid the big bucks! So I don't have many until we arrived to the chapel.

Where has Tman been all day? Just like Aunt Dannis and Unk's wedding, with my mom! He arrived at Shugie's when we were about to take pictures. He was so excited but still not sure really what was going on. He kept touching my hair and going what is it?? He's used to only seeing mum 1/2 showered and little make up on. It was cute to see his reaction.

It was very special seeing Lydia walk down her staircase with all of us waiting to see her! Caul and the boys were outside while the rest were waiting downstairs. As to no surprise, she was a beautiful bride!


 
Going to the chapel!





Moppy and Poppy tag teaming on potty breaks with Turner. Being pregnant, in a fancy dress, taking a toddler to the bathroom is a site to see! I guess that's why many moms wear yoga pants and tennis shoes.



Two of my favorite pictures!
 I loved seeing Aunt Lillipop holding a dino on her big day! (Reason #12553 why Turner has the best Aunts and Uncles) It was his bribe to walk down the aisle.



Waiting to walk down the aisle. This was a fun time. Many pictures taken and singing 'Going to the Chapel' Lydia's HS friends have that song down, and I, of course, had to chime in as much as I could :).

 
 
Turner's wingman throughout this operation-Unk!

Getting Ready with the Bride!

I always love this part of the day for weddings! Hanging with everyone and getting all dolled up for the big night.

Watching a video Annie made for Lydia with a collection of pictures from all of us. It was really cute! We LOVED our matching robes Lydia gave us.

Princess for the day



some girls had their makeup done as well!

 

Lydia lived here her Sr. year in high school, so it was fun getting ready with her high school buds!

Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner @ Bordino's


Getting pretty!

 
Then off to the rehearsal!
 
 
Lydia's friends from college and NYC. Adore these people!


Maid of Honor, Natalie!!

The fam!





 Lydia has the sweetest high school friends! It was great hanging out with them!
 
The beautiful bride and groom! The dress Lydia is wearing was her Aunt Cille's dress and it was absolutely beautiful on her!

Tman was a ring bearer which I was SO excited about! I was also very curious on how he would handle it all. He walked down by himself (with poppy behind him) for rehearsal...he made it..:)

 
Tman was not happy about having to wear white underwear...I told him everyone was going to be wearing white underwear. He then put them on.....hoping he wouldn't ask strangers if they were wearing white underwear.

Aunt Natalie was so sweet to carry Tman along during the wedding. They look so cute up there!





 



 Lydia's wedding coordinator was wonderful!
