congrats to the newlyweds

Congratulations to Jared's sister, Mary and her new husband Troy!!! Marriage is wonderful and I am so excited for their new adventure together. The ceremony touched my heart, reminded me of my own marital covenants, and helped me recommit to love more fully.

But first, this is my favorite picture from the weekend. This is my baby L and her face just CRACKS ME UP every time I see it! Bwahahahaha!

 The night before the wedding was insane by my standards. The only people who went to bed before 2 in the morning were me, my sister-in-law and our three small children. The grandparents, the visiting aunt, cousins, Jared's siblings - everyone else - didn't go to bed before 2! Nuts, right? And they weren't even doing last minute prep for the wedding. They were playing games, chatting and eating grilled cheese with kimchee. To Jared's credit he was only up that late to finish his final paper that was due the next day. He didn't want to work on it on the wedding day. He worked hard, although he takes a long time to write. 

 We all nearly died from the dessert buffet at the wedding reception. Wow, there was a lot! Never eating sugar again.

 Sorry about my lame camera pictures. They were radiating far brighter than these pictures give them credit. GORGEOUS couple.

 The colors were navy, tan and white. It looked really great together and the whole O family coordinated our clothes. I think the photographer must have gotten some really great family pictures. Hopefully more to come on that.

Daddy daughter dance. It was so sweet.

L taking up the whole dance floor. Not a lot of people danced, but there were spurts. Jared even danced with me. I also danced an awful lot with my kids.

Aww. Mimama dancing.

And when we came home my boys crashed. So did the lady, but S was so out of it he never even woke up when we took him out of the car. You'd think we drugged him. Oh, wait. We did. With tons of sugar. Poor boys. 

It was a beautiful day with family and remembering of marital promises. 

Side note. My guy just said the prayer over lunch. It is sweet to remember his prayers. :) 

"Heavenly Father, Grateful for this day. Grateful for this food. Grateful for the barbecue chicken and the chips. Grateful for the 'mato and lettuce. Jesus' name. Amen."
