Aunt Boo Boo and UNCLE Derick's Wedding!


Congratulations Sara and Derick!! What a beautiful wedding! Last weekend we were in Ohio for Sara and Derick's wedding. It went by so fast and I tried so hard to take it all in so I can remember every moment. Both of our Grandmothers were there and Grandpa too. What a joy to have them all together. I feel so furtunate to have them!!


They are great!!!


Below is my brother, Matthew, and my cousin, Cortney, with our Grandmother.

My niece, Mia, was hysterical!! She and Brady (my cousin's son) walked down the aisle together as the ring bearer and the flower girl. They were beyond cute!! Well, half way down the aisle they were together until Mia looked up and saw everyone looking at her and stopped. But she made it down the aisle making sure all the petals made it right up to the alter. She decided to join us up front after the ceremony started. She went right up to Sara and asked her, "Who is going to clean up all the petals?" Over and over again. Then when I finally told her that we would do it later she seemed satified with that and just sat down next to the minister.

It was a fun weekend and we all had a blast. I have posted a lot of pictures and I know some of you have already seen them on snapfish. I just wanted to make sure I have some of them documented on my blog. Below are a few other pictures of that wonderful day. Sara and Derick are on the honeymoon now and I am sure they are having a wonderful time!! I will treasure all the memories from that day and weekend!!




Todd DJ'd at the reception and did a wonderful job. He even took care of the music during the ceremony.
