Yesterday my brother John got married. He found a wonderful woman who he is very much in love with and I wish him a long blessed life with his new bride, Lisa. With that being said, let’s move on to some of the details. John and Lisa had a small wedding party, but A Bird was lucky enough to be asked to be the flower girl. So on Friday we went up to the dress rehearsal at the church and A Bird learned her official Flower Girl duties. Basically, she had to carry a basket down in front of Lisa. She couldn’t actually throw down flower petals as the church wouldn’t allow it. But she was still excited.
Yesterday came and we left the house a little late but with some creative driving we still made it to the church a little early. Everyone looked wonderful, My Mom was wearing a dress that looked really good, my stepfather and brother were both in tuxedos, L Bird was rocking a pretty hot black dress, I wore my pinstriped suit and A Bird looked beautiful in her cream colored flower girl dress. Now, here is where the panic, well not really panic, more anxiety really that A Bird would forget what to do or get nervous and back out at the last second. Fortunately everything went off without a hitch, A Bird walked down the aisle and was reasonably quiet and very well behaved throughout the ceremony.
We then went to Lisa’s house and had pictures taken of the bridal party and A Bird. Then finally came the reception. John and Lisa chose to have their reception at the Genesee Country Village & Museum. So while the bridal party were having their pictures taken the wedding guest could walk through the village and relax before the reception
At the reception the food was delicious, the DJ was actually pretty good and it was an all around good time. On top of all of that, “The Slutty Cousins” were in full effect. My three girl cousins, my brothers and I are lovingly dubbed the slutty cousins due to our dancing and drinking at weddings, so yeah it was a good time.
But I think A Bird had the best time of all, I think she only sat down for 2, maybe 3 songs. Other than that she was out rocking on the dance floor. She danced with everyone and by herself when no one else was out there. You can check out her awesome moves below.(*** the room with the DJ was really dimly lit for his light system, but you can still make her out)
And here she is twisting the night away with Uncle Johnny, the groom.
Overall, it was a long day, but an extremely awesome and happy one. Congrats John and Lisa, we love you and wish nothing but the best for you!!
