My sister-in-law got married almost three weeks ago, and the ceremony was great. It was also short, which was good because it was hot! C and J were ring bearers. J was being held by his daddy, and C rode in the wagon while his dad pulled it. This was the only way they would have cooperated for the ceremony. They went down the aisle first.
They either sat down or stood for the ceremony, and behaved very well. They didn’t make any noise during the vows and the rings, and we were the last ones to leave the area in which the ceremony was held. The female photographer (there were two photographers: one male and one female) took a picture of the whole family together. I’m hoping to get a copy of this picture to hang in the house soon.
C and J took off their suit jackets and played a little bit in the reception area before eating some food. They both had macaroni and cheese with strawberries. Then when the DJ had mothers and daughters dance together, I got to dance with my boys. It was fun.
The kids did get rambunctious after dancing and eating, but part of that was because of some of the other kids. They were very well behaved, and because of that, we got them cookies from McDonald’s.
We then went to the in-laws for an after party, and when the kids were starting to get out of hand and act tried, we went home and put them to bed. Overall, my children were angels and looked like little gentlemen for the wedding. My sister-in-law was happy to be married, albeit parts of her ceremony didn’t go according to plan, but she loved having the kids in her wedding party. Maybe they will be in another wedding in the future. But only time will tell…
