Hitched!!!

Yesterday at 3pm, Mike and Jo were married! Huzzah! It was a pretty exciting day for everyone. So much going on and yet it was practically perfect. Speaking of perfect, my daughter is the most amazing baby!!! Ariel was more on schedule than I could ever ask for.

At 7am, we were up and I fed Ariel. She fell asleep around 8 something, just as I left with the girls for the hair salon. Ken took her to Nana's for babysitting as he went off to the groomsmen breakfast. We were both home again at 1030ish. Ariel ate again right before we left the house at 1230 to pick up our nanny for the day, Kara. Ariel was already asleep upon arriving at Jo's house.

The house was filled with lots of energy, that of 7 little girls and many bridesmaids. All the girls had matching dresses that Jo's mom had made for them. Too cute! Right before we left in the limo, which I ditched Ken and Kara for, hehe, we got a call from the photographer saying that the first location they chose was now out because there was a huge dog show happening. LOL. That was pretty funny actually. Something always goes wrong and if that was it, not bad indeed.

So we go to the beach, the other location right by the ceremony site. After the cute seeing each other for the first time moment, it was realized the guys had forgotten their little flowers in my dad's fridge. Luckily, Ken had gotten his at Jo's place since he dropped me off, so we put his on Mike so that he had one in the pictures. See how things can just work out. We walked all over, getting lots of attention from the people tanning at the beach. There were also these nasty little black bugs everywhere, they didn't bite but they were clinging to our dresses and getting down inside our bras, YUCK!

We got to the wedding site and waited for our cue. Let me say again, its practically 3pm and Ariel is STILL sleeping. Wedding goes on without a hitch and as Mike and Jo steal away in the limo for 20 minutes alone, my daughter wakes up to eat. Dang that little gal is good. So Ken and I hid in the house to feed her while set up is happening, something I can't do anyways at the moment. As they finished, Ariel was done eating and getting changed. We got the family pictures done and then back into the tent for the food, which was awesome.

Ariel was up and down after dinner. She would eat and sleep off and on, get passed around. It was then I found out my dad's side of the family didn't know she had been born. Oops. I guess with dad gone the week she was born, he forgot to call them upon returning. Need to get those announcements out this week.

The night ended for us sometime after 10pm. Ariel was ready to crash as were we both. We got home, fed the girl who was uber cuddly upon getting home at last. She fell asleep at midnight at didn't get up till, get this 530am! She practically slept through the night, crazy. We went back to sleep and then woke at 9ish to feed her again. Today is Phantom day so I will sign off till later.
