Karly & Luke Get Married

It's funny that a little over 10 years ago, Karly and her siblings were in my wedding. And now, my kids and other cousins are in her wedding. There was much anticipation since there hasn't been a wedding in our family in a long time.

 We just so happened to find these dresses off Amazon. What can't you buy on amazon!? And the girls fell in love with how much twirl you could get out of them.

 And the boys looked beyond dapper in their suspenders and bow ties. I fought Austin tooth and nail to get into this outfit. But once it was on, he didn't complain about it any more. Thank goodness.

 She posed herself. I think she loves him.

 We let them have one silly picture to get it out of their systems.

 I tried not to burn them out from getting too many pictures taken before the photographer took over but they really didn't mind doing some posing in their nice new digs.

 This is the only picture I got with them. Jason was up at Grayling for national guard. But i'll take it!!

 Ava kept laying like this on the bench until I came over and snapped her photo.

 I think she enjoyed every minute of skipping out on school and playing dress up.

 The wedding party

 Grace did not like when I suggested that it looked like Karly and Luke were posing with all of 'their' children. She said ewww gross. She was hilarious during all the photos, after we strapped her down to tie her dress. She did NOT want that dress tied. I don't blame her. Kids have their battles and we let her leave it untied as much as possible. It was the same with Austin and his stiff jeans and boots. He changed into sports clothes for the reception.

 We were waiting for the bridal party to get some more photos done so I climbed on top of a banister since Ava was in 'twirl mode'.

 Looking good Dad & Jarred. you guys clean up nice!!

 I kept telling the girls not to spare their petals. the buckets were overflowing with yellow petals. Grace was so proud of herself for plopping handfuls in every corner while she walked. She got back to her seat and shouted ' ALL GONE!!" ... I.Love.Her.!!

 Luke, here comes your bride!

 I was a sobbing mess. Always am. Can't help it.

 Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Luke Aukeman !!!
