Ryan's Wedding

The last of us is married.  Ryan got married last weekend. It was a very busy day for me.

My team had our first playoff game that day.  I cried when i found out I may not be able to go to the game.  Our team was not supposed to do well this year so it meant a lot to me to be with my team.  This is one of my favorite groups of girls and I felt like I was abandoning them.  But I can't miss my brothers wedding either.  Ugh.

They sent my team to peters twp (the opposite direction of the wedding) for an afternoon game.  I went with team and told them that sometime after half time I would probably have to leave.  If we were losing at the point I don't think i could have left.  Luckily for me we were winning 3-0 and i felt good about leaving with about 15 minutes left.

Then we drove to Grove City (an hour+ away) and made it in plenty of time.  We got ready and were off to Rustic Acres.  It was an outdoor wedding and then the reception was to be in the barn afterwards.  These types of wedding are very trendy right now.

Here are the kids outside before the wedding.  Hayden wouldn't tuck his shirt in until right before the wedding started. 

It was very cold and it waited to rain until right before the ceremony.  Then it didn't stop.  So everything go moved into the barn.

It was cold in the barn too.. Luckily I brought our dressy winter coats.

Hayden was a ring bearer.  He carried this sign.

Here is a cute picture of him giving Lauralynn a kiss before he walked down the aisle.

Lauralynn was a beautiful bride.  i loved her dress.

I had a reading to do.  I only read it once before I had to go up in front of everyone.  No big deal :)

Here is their first kiss.

Hayden flipped the sign over for his walk back down the aisle.

We had appetizers while pictures were being taken.  And the cookie "table" was open.  I made most of the cookies.  100+ of each of the following:  chocolate chip, iced pumpkin, snickerdoodle, oatmeal butterscotch, chocolate mint iced, chocolate covered pretzels, oreo balls (white and regular), pumpkin cake balls.  I loved the way it looked.

Amelia wanted to be part of the wedding so I told her the cookie table was hers.

The cake had a simple star wars theme.  Star wars is part of how they met.

The reception was nice.  The food was good.

Amelia loved dancing.  Hayden did too.

The kids absolutely loved the photo booth.  We have a million pictures.  Amelia loved dressing up and getting pretty.  Hayden loved the super hero stuff.


It was fun wedding but exhausting.  The kids seriously never stopped moving.  They never stayed in one place.  I felt like was just trying to find them most of the night (I didn't want them outside or knocking over heaters or anything else)

Amelia passed out on the long drive home.  hayden did not.
