Luke's godfather Nick had been dating Emily, a former student of mine for more than 8 years. They are a great couple and super to the kids. We love spending time with them even though Nick isn't around much due to finishing his 3rd college degree - a doctorate!
They asked Luke to be a ring-bearer in their wedding. Such excitement! Leading up to the wedding, Luke would tell everyone that it was "his wedding" and he was marrying Emily. We can't blame him, she's beautiful and has a fantastic personality.
The wedding has come and gone now. It was a gorgeous fall day. Mommy had the day planned out just right with Daddy working and Luke having to be at church by 11:30. Mommy is not sure why she makes these plans, something always goes awry. Brooke decided to wake up with a stomach bug and was throwing up a half hour before we needed to have Luke to church. Daddy got home in time to take Luke to church, while Mommy stayed home. Nana and Papa came to the rescue and were able to stay with Brooke while everyone else attended the ceremony. Brooke was heartbroken and thought she wouldn't be able to dance the night away at the wedding reception. Luckily she was feeling better by 4, we got her dressed and we were off to help Nick and Emily celebrate!
Luke did a wonderful job carrying his pillow down the aisle and took pride in his tux. He was even seen dancing with older women and sneaking kisses too. Like father, like son!
It's hard to believe a day goes so fast. Seems like that's the way life is going lately!
Here are some pictures of the days events!
Leaving for church...Such a handsome
groom ringbearer!
Walking down the aisle is important stuff and he rocked it!
Mmm...mmm....Sue had homemade goodies in the pew to enjoy during the wedding!
Saying "I DO"
They were NOT peeing on the bus! (Pouting!)
The new Mr. & Mrs.
Luke wouldn't even attempt a fake smile. He was beyond tired and was asking for a nap by this point!
We snapped a quick family pic after dinner and dancing and right before bed!
