The Wedding (pictures below!)

So Nelson & Henry were asked to take part of my cousin Aaron's wedding to Teena. Henry the ring bearer and Nelson a Jr. Groomsmen. We practiced and went over how important it was to be still and quiet during the ceremony. I was expecting Henry to be loud... well...... He was not loud. But he was NOT still either! He went and climbed around on all the chairs and walked up and down the isles where the choir normally sits. He made his way to the drum set and thank GOD he did not actually play them! I couldn't see anything but his feet when he was at the drums but I was later told that he was smiling at everyone and gently patting the drums. Yikes!! When he started making his way back to the other side, I had James run and grab him.

Unfortunately I couldn't see Nelson most of the time from where I was sitting. Aaron's mom, my aunt Lanett, said he was hilarious! He was smiling, winking, and giving everyone a "thumbs up". I did see him during the unity candle lighting.. he had to move to get a better look at what they were doing!

All in all, the wedding turned out beautifully and they will have some great memories. The minister did a wonderful job. Aaron & Teena both looked great (of course) and the church was decorated very pretty.

The reception was LOADS of fun. Dancing, food, drinks, cake... Nelson made his rounds flirting & dancing. Henry was.. well, Henry! The bride & groom suprised us all with their first dance. It started off typical with slow music and they made it like the DJ messed up their song then it started playing short clips of different kinds of music and they started dancing again... choreographed a hilarious dance! It was great!

Thank you Aaron & Teena for including us in your special day!!!!
