Michael and Amber's Rehearsal and Wedding

The wedding weekend arrived!  The kids have been so excited to be a part of Amber's wedding and finally they get their chance.  They've both read books on being a flower girl and ring bearer and had practiced their walk so they were ready to go.  How cute is this sign?

After a long drive from San Diego and hitting horrible traffic, we finally made it and were all smiles.

The kids got in their places, ready to practice.

There goes Amber and Papa Rick!

After the rehearsal and everyone walked back down the aisle, the boys ran down, so cute! 

Then we headed over to a restaurant for some drinks and dinner.  There were two other kids in the wedding, Maya and Alex, and all four kids got along beautifully!  It wasn't but a few minutes before these two were besties! :)

They even got their own table at the dinner!

These two were too cute!

Michael and Amber gave the kids gifts for being in the wedding.  Here's the gift opening.

The girls got head bands, can you tell them loved them?!  And the boys got peacock neck ties, so cute!

Josh and Sarah, Maya and Alex's parents, were wonderful.  We enjoyed hanging out with them, at the rehearsal and wedding, and hope to see them again when they come back to SD!

After dinner, the girls decided to dress the boys up.  Some leaves and flowers do a world of difference. :)

And the bride-to-be.  She looked amazing that night and the whole weekend through, just beautiful.

Ty sneaking a kiss from Caty.  He's such a flirt!

And Toni, Tatum and Garrett.

Many drinks were enjoyed that night.

The wedding party!

It's the big day!  Here's Maya and Tatum, dressed up with their flower balls, and ready to walk down the aisle.

The kids with the grooms brother Eric by the pond in front of the Long Beach Hyatt, where the wedding and reception was held.  The weather was perfect.

And with their beautiful Godmother.

Everyone getting ready!

Patti had gotten each girl their own monogrammed robe.  I love this picture!

And the show begins...

The ceremony was flawless and beautiful.

The boys carried this sign as they walked in front of the bride and her father.

The beautiful Beaston family.  Love these people.

The georgous bride and groom.

I just love this picture. :)

We all hit the cocktail hour and celebrated our perfect flower girl and ring bearer.

This is Ms. Jenny, Toni's friend and the baby sitter that night.  She stayed in a hotel room with the kids after the cocktail hour while they played, watched shows and enjoyed pizza and coloring.  A perfect night.  And Ty LOVED Ms. Jenny.  As I said, he's a total flirt. :)

Sadly enough, we never had the photographers take a family picture of us and we never got a great picture with out own camera.  But this was the best we could do.

The camera was acting funny so I missed most of the wedding party's entrance but here's Shauna and Eric, the maid of honor and the best man.  Each set came in to a different song and with a signature dance move.  Too cute.

And we sat at the head table with Rick and Patti!

Michael and Amber's first dance.

Father Daughter dance.  So cute!

The love birds.

Some pretty ladies.

The kids came down to enjoy the reception.  They were a little hesitant and shy but at least they smiled for the shot.

Shauna can always get a smile out of this guy. :)

 

Patti laughing during the speeches.  I love her expression, so real.

And here's Mom getting her groove on! 

All three sisters gave moving speeches, each with their own flare.

And all the ladies.  We had an amazing night and the kids will never forget it. :)
