This past September, we took a trip to Leavenworth to participate in my brother Matt's wedding. We enjoyed being part of Kirsten and Matt's special day. Charlie was the honorary ring bearer, so he was quite excited for this moment. During the rehearsal I had to carry him down the aisle. So, we were pleasantly surprised when he only needed my hand down the aisle on wedding day.
They got married out in this beautiful farm type place. Off the main wedding space we found horses and pigs. The kids really enjoyed petting the horses. Charlie was right in there with his big cousins. I have to say, he chose his lovely outfit that afternoon.
Grandma Patsy and Grandpa Bud had fun entertaining Gabriel for a few minutes while waiting for the rehearsal to begin.
The very happy couple getting married!
The wedding was over and the partying has begun. This included chocolate covered strawberries. As you can see, that smile is one of pleasure eating a strawberry.
My cousin Ben had to leave his son Levi home. So, he happily stepped in to help out with Gabe for a little while. I think he is feeding him a nectarine in this picture.
Charlie continued the tradition of kids dancing at the reception. Although he did ask me to dance, I liked this picture of Ella dancing with Charlie for the blog.
The entire family stayed at one very large home. This was the view out the back porch. Not too bad! What a beautiful place to get married. All in all, a very successful, fun wedding.
It was a wonderful day for Matt and Kirsten and for the rest of us, too.
ReplyDeleteCharlie was really cute in his suit and quite the dancer!!
