Aunt Kelsey's Wedding!!!

On May 19, Aunt Kelsey got married to a guy named Jay Boot in Pella. It was my first wedding and it was a blast. Mommy also happened to be the maid of honor. I thought mommy did a wonderful job balancing her duties as maid of honor and mommy :) Mommy, daddy & I traveled to my grandpa & grandma Schuring's home Thursday night which was the first time I had spent the night away from home. It went pretty well overall and grandpa & grandma were really excited to have us (mostly me I think though). On Friday, all the ladies went and had our hair and nails done, had a bridesmaid luncheon and even squeezed in an hour for our first Schuring family pictures including me. The guys wore black and ladies all wore red. Mommy and daddy said I did a great job handling all the chaos and pictures. Daddy and uncle Vance wanted a pose from the movie called "The Lion King" which I thought was funny.

Want to know my favorite part about the wedding?! Aunt Kelsey and grandma Schuring made me a matching bridesmaid dress!!! Everyone thought I looked adorable and I must say that I agree :)  In the end, the wedding was a huge success. Mommy did a great job with her speech. Daddy and uncle Vance did a great job as ushers and as host & hostess of the reception. Daddy says uncle Vance was the hostess :)  On Sunday, we all slept in (well kind of) and grandpa fixed a big breakfast before we packed up our stuff and headed back to Des Moines.

I've included a few random pictures from the weekend for your viewing enjoyment!

  1. This is such a sweet post! It reminds me of my aunt’s wedding in one of the Seattle Wedding venues 2 years ago. I was late for the ceremony because I missed my flight and as a penalty I had to give a dance performance. It was funny because I am very bad at it. Anyways, it was wonderful going through this post.
