Quinton & Mallory's Wedding

This blog is about the beautiful Wedding celebration (and surrounding events) for my brother-in-law and brand new sister-in-law.

Friday evening started the beginning of the wedding festivities with the wedding rehearsal, then the dinner to follow. Mallory and Quinton got the girls adorable matching outfits that said 'flower girl' to wear during the rehearsal. All went well, they both walked down the aisle throwing flowers like professionals. It was a good start. :)

This picture was taken at the church before the start of rehearsal. The groom (Uncle Q) with his nieces.

During the actual wedding, we were really pushing Bella to her limit because she was about 4 hours overdue for a nap, but she follow big sister down the aisle and did her job (with a little prompting) and as soon as she met me in the pew, she was asleep before the opening prayer was finished. :) Which was good, because when Bella is sleeping is just about the only time she isnt being really loud! So it worked out perfect.

Unfortunately all the pictures i took DURING the wedding were on the photographer's backup camera, (which i was given to take back-up and candid shots on throughout the night.) So, once i get ahold of some of those, i will post them.

Being Bella's mother, of course i knew the girl liked to dance. But what i could have never known is that she LOVES to dance, for 5 hours straight, not even liking to take a break for diaper changes and drinks. Bella was apparently born to dance. :) It was adorable, she really had such a good time making her rounds on the dance floor. She was a show-stealer for sure. Sophia danced pretty much all night too, but with a little more help from others since she gets a little shy around crowds. She had a blast too, and although she is a little more shy on the dance floor than Bella, she makes up for it with her moves, she has some cool 'hip-hop' moves I didnt even know she had.
Of course, I would be remiss if i didn't post something about the Bride and Groom. Quinton and Mallory seemed as if they very much enjoyed their special day. Everything went sooo smoothly and wonderful during the actual ceremony and the reception. It seemed almost effortless it went so seemlessly, but everyone knows that is never the case with a wedding. It was beautiful, and so were they. :)

The girls of course tried to hog all their time. Sophia already told me she wants a dress like Mallory's.... I started to cry... Do they have to start wanting this so young!?!?

This video is of Bella & Sophia dancing. :) There are about 30 video's featuring them dancing from last night. I just picked one out of the bunch.
This picture was taken at about 10 oclock last night, and as you can see Brandon and i were pretty darn tired by that point in the night. However, its the only picture that i know of that even proves we were there together since i was taking pics of everone else. This is right before the girls and i left to go home. And 5 minutes after we got home we were all asleep. A long, wonderful, exhausting day. Today is Sunday, tomorrow is Memorial Day... yes, thats right 3 day weekend! I am off to enjoy some more sunshine with the family. Have a great weekend everyone!
