A Wedding

A few weekends ago, we had the wonderful opportunity to see some of our dear friends get married.  We have known Garrett and Elise since they were in high school. We have become good friends with both of them and their families. They also serve on Dave's admin team, Elise is Dave's secretary, and Elise has been one of our babysitters for years now. Elise also has a special place in her heart for Sarah. When she came to me when they got engaged and asked if Sarah could be a flower girl in her wedding, it brought tears to my eyes just thinking that she was willing to sacrifice a "perfect" wedding to have Sarah be a part, and literally stumble down the aisle. As months went on, I was very nervous about letting Sarah do this, but Elise was always quick to tell me that she didn't care what happened she just wanted to honor Sarah. Well, all that to say, I'm grateful she had that attitude because as you can see in this series of pictures, she didn't make it down the aisle. Poor girlie tried so hard. Wasn't she cute though!

Elise also asked the older girls if they would help hand out programs. They were so excited and were able to get special dresses for the occasion. Dave also had the privilege of being a groomsman as well. It was such a wonderful day! Here is a family shot. Five out of six isn't bad as far as looking at the camera. We'll take what we can get!

They had a candy reception at church before their dinner reception. The kids kept making sure they were invited to this reception. They didn't want to be left out of the fun!
