Uncle Andy's Wedding - part 2

Going to the chapel...and a Rule is getting married!  (I am pretty sure this was a FB status update of my cousin over the weekend when her brother got married!)

Words won't do this wedding justice.  It was BY FAR the best wedding I have ever been to...and I've attended some doozies!  The attention to detail was amazing.  Have you ever been to a wedding and after you were seated thinking, "gosh, I would love a drink?"  Guess what!?!  At Andy and Nora's wedding you were seated with a flute of champagne.  ...and during the cocktail hour, there was a signature drink - the Rule-jito.  Who doesn't love a signature drink?

It was a day filled with lots of friends, family, love and lots of dancing!

A recap in photos...

The wedding wasn't until 6, but pictures began at 3.  I had to be ready WAY early so that I could then help get the kiddos ready.  Izzy took this one of my mommy and me.

How cute is Drew snapping this picture of his sister getting ready?

Once he got his tie on, sister returned the favor

Here they are wondering why they can't "view" the recent pictures on the back of the camera :)  If they only knew we didn't always have the ability to keep/delete pictures so easily.

Cuteness overload with these 4!  Could you get any more polar opposite with flower girls and ring bearers?

And then the boys wait...

While the girls "ooooh" and "ahhh" over Aunt Nora's pretty dress

The ceremony was beautiful.  I am the one on the far left who sticks out like a sore thumb!  Both kids did GREAT!

Izzy sat like this the entire ceremony - the kids just all popped a squat on the floor and took it all in

Gorgeous!
