REHEARSAL
About two-thirds of the wedding party before the rehearsal started:
Nick and Rachel with Ian at the rehearsal dinner:
WEDDING DAY
Rachel, Courtney and I got our hair done then, while mom was getting dolled up at the salon, we ran to Target for some essentials: Mt Dew, wedding-pic-friendly umbrella and socks for Kaitlyn to wear.
Why, yes we did make a scene at Target. 🙂
Target didn’t have socks so we walked over to Babies R Us.
Please note the umbrella and Mt Dew. 🙂
Time to get ready!!!
Rachel and Kaitlyn, two pretty ladies:
Getting her face on:
The dress is ready to go!
She’s ready!
Not happy to wear a tux:

Doing post-ceremony pics:
Before the reception started, I asked Jackie to take some pictures of us:
Ian wasn’t amused.
We asked Mike’s sister, Jackie, to come to the wedding to help us out. With me standing up and Mike doing a reading, we needed someone to keep an eye on Matthew. Keeping both boys happy all day was a big job and Jackie’s help was priceless. Thank you so much!!!!
Reception pics:
Ian, Matthew and Andrew were darn near the life of the reception. I think Rachel was able to outshine them in the end but it was a pretty close race for the #1 position.
They started getting their dance moves on before dinner was served and the DJ actually played them some special music before the festivities began:
Totally out of focus but it was sooo cute.
After dinner dancing:
They even lined up for the garter toss:
I’m not sure there was a female in the building that Ian didn’t dance with. He was pulling people out of their chairs and getting them on the dance floor!
It’s exhausting to be that cute:
Dancing with Daddy:
Despite the fact there was rain forecasted all day long and it sprinkled in the morning, the rain held off until after the reception started. And, holy cow, did it rain! It was a torrential downpour!
We had such a great day and so much fun. The boys were able to stay at the reception until it ended at 11PM! Needless to say, the next day we were absolutely EXHAUSTED and super pumped that Ian’s tball game was rained out. All we did was hang out at home in our jammies!
