My family: Love is patient. Love is kind.

Love is patient. Love is kind.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails....and now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love"

1 Corinthians 13

Meredith & Sean were married just a few days ago. The much anticipated event made for a whirlwind weekend of fun. Friday was the rehearsal followed by dinner at Ruth Chris. The girls had fun playing with the other kids who were also in the wedding. Isabella went right up to James (the ring bearer) and introduced herself. She is not shy! Then she wrapped her arm around him for the photo.

The Rehearsal

Saturday, the day of the wedding, went by fast. I did Meredith's makeup for the wedding which made for special time alone with the bride on her big day. It was a very hectic day day to be a makeup artist and have our little family in the wedding. Will looked so handsome in his tux and Isabella & Sophia were absolutely precious! The girls loved their fancy flower girl dresses and did great! Sophia walked down the aisle all by herself and looked so proud. Isabella walked in beaming while holding her bouquet of flowers. We had front row seats for the wedding which was a treat! During the procession I was to be escorted out of the church by a groomsman. I also had Isabella & Sophia walking out with me. However, I did not notice that Sophia had walked in front of me and I knocked her down! Not only did I feel like a bad Mom, but also a bad bridesmaid. Sophia was fine but I felt bad. Anyway, at this point the girls were tired and ready to go. They had a fun night planned...they were having their very first sleepover. Also, it was the 1st time I have ever been away from my children overnight (other than when I was in the hospital having Sophia). They were super excited to spend the night with PopPop & Grandmom! We are very lucky that my family was able to come and help out with the girls so Will & I could enjoy a night out. The reception was a blast!! The food was delicious and the band was great! Not only did I give a toast to Meredith & Sean but Will even made it out on the dance floor a few times. I have photos as proof!
