Casey and Bradley's Wedding!

It was a beautiful wedding! A hot day, to be sure, about as hot as the day Stace and I got married nearly seven years ago.

(How did we become the old married couple???)

The gorgeous Lindley Scott House, circa 1911, didn't have air conditioning, so it was a little toasty inside when the bride and her girls were getting ready.

But it was very picturesque.

Cora did a great job following the ring bearer down the aisle, remembering to pause to toss out the rose petals.

When she got to the front, she seemed to forget her next move, stopping to put her finger in her mouth and look around. Auntie Kelly, the maid of honor, motioned Cora forward to stand next to her.

Casey was a gorgeous bride, of course! And Bradley looked very handsome as well; they are an adorable couple. Bradley's oldest brother is a pastor, and he did a great job on the ceremony.

Cora spent the ceremony over on the boys' side, next to the ring bearer. Nate kept her in line, and they entertained themselves with their pillow and basket, and by picking up acorns.

At the end of the wedding, they got a lot of oohs and ahhhs as they walked down the aisle together!

We spent the reception with good friends - Melanie and David and John and Linda - and my parents and Mel and her guy, Nick.
There was an open bar for the first hour or two, so we all enjoyed some glasses of wine.

The food was yummy, the dancing fun, and the slide show cute. Cora sat on Casey's lap for the slide show, so she had the best view in the house.

The only downside to the wedding was that since it was in the late afternoon, owing to the heat, it all stretched bit late into the evening. That meant for two tired little girls, who weren't up to staying till the very end. We would have loved to dance some more and enjoy the cake, and Cora was very, very sad to be leaving early (though it wasn't early, it was after 9).

Hopefully she can dance with the happy couple the next time we see them. For now, they are dancing together in Maui! Lucky kids!
