After a great night on Friday we woke up to overcast, grey skies on Saturday. The wedding was outside so we immediately started praying for the weather to clear up and for the sun to come out from the shadows. Thankfully, the clouds parted and the sun came out in the early afternoon before the ceremony started.
The girls headed out to
Pecan Springs early so we could get our makeup and hair done. Stephanie and I left Mason and Carter with Robby and Matt so they stayed behind and had a boys day together. It was heartwarming sitting in the brides room and not being able to tell who was Sara's family, Sara's friends and Randy's family; everyone blended in and got along so well together. Sara is so fortunate to be marrying into such a loving family.
The day went off without so much as a hiccup: the weather cooperated, Sara and Randy looked stunning, and the boys were as cute as can be. Mason loved his cowboy boots and Carter wore his first tie! Sara also picked the perfect bridesmaids dress that was comfortable and beautiful, a combo you don't come across everyday.
Mama K held Carter throughout the ceremony, and besides some talking I heard from his as we were walking in, he watched and had a great time seeing everyone. Baby boy was teething something fierce and chewed on my shoulder right before we took our family pictures after the ceremony so hopefully the photographer is skilled in photoshop!!
For dinner we had a little bit of everything, including a "you kill it, we grill it" buffet from some of PawPaw's recent kills. My favorite was the risotto....uh, so good! I heard a lot of people say the shrimp was phenomenal but I somehow missed that.
Carter headed home with Aunt Laura and Brooks shortly after his bedtime. Matt and I had a blast with the photobooth, on the dancefloor, and with all of our friends and family there. I love going to weddings where you know everyone, it just makes everything so much more fun. I also made a point to have several pieces of wedding cake (each layer was a different flavor) ;)
To Sara and Randy,
It is obvious to everyone who comes in contact with y'all that y'all were meant for each other. Your faces light up when you talk about the other. You share a love that is rare; covet each other and nurture your relationship daily. I'm honored to have been apart of your wedding day and blessed to have such wonderful people to be Carter's aunt and uncle. Best wishes for a long, long and happy marriage!
