The *sniff* Wedding

My baby brother got married today (actually, technically yesterday, since it's 12:45 a.m. *yawn*) I only bawled for a second, when I saw my little brother, his friend who I used to babysit and my even baby-er cousin standing up there in tuxes looking so handsome and grown up. The ceremony was beautiful and touching and upbeat and just made me smile from the inside out.

I love how weddings just reaffirm my commitment to stay married FOREVER!!

I love the girl he married and the wedding was perfect! Really, it was the most lovely wedding I've been to, other than my own. The girls were flower girls, and they did a great job. In fact, they did great all the way until we left the party at 11 p.m. - the latest they have ever stayed up!

It was great to catch up with a lot of family friends who I don't see very often, most of whom met Sophia and Amelia for the first time. The food was yuuuummy and just everything about the wedding was stunning.

Okay, I can't really put together many coherent thoughts (and I'm the only person over 21 at the wedding who did NOT drink!) so I'm just going to share a few pictures and go to sleep!

Amelia was in L-O-V-E with herself when I put her flower girl dress on her

Sophia practiced her paparazzi smile all day

during picture time, Davis just chased the girls down over and over again, while they ran off all that pent up energy

Amelia was a little camera-obsessed... she would say "take a picture of me!"

and then she would want to take a picture of me

At the end of the night, Sophia started dancing... and I mean wild and wonderful jumping around dancing! She danced for TWO HOURS pretty much non-stop

Amelia, on the other hand, slowly became sleepy and just wanted to do this

which was FINE with me, because see these shoes? they made me want to sit down

Victor and Brittany - I love these two! Aren't they gorgeous?

Look at my brother's face - is he in love or what?!

and then, when we got home and we slipped Amelia's dress off of her, she did this

Good night!

The girls look so adorable in those dresses! I love teh pics of Amelia checking herself out LOL! Very much a girly girl, isn't she?? :) Love, your dress, shawl and SHOES. You look great! I hate it when the pretty shoes are always so uncomfortable.

The brides dress is just gorgeous, too. Looks like it was a wonderful wedding!
