Elizabeth's Wedding...the Festivities

Oh what a weekend.  We had a blast in Atlanta.  First, the festivities.  And because there are enough pictures from those events, I'll do another post on our tourist attractions!

Friday night we arrived just in time for me to get to the rehearsal.  Chris and the boys hung out at the hotel and later met us at Elizabeth and David's new home for the rehearsal dinner.  Didn't Daddy do a good job getting all these monkey's dressed?


We had a great time visiting with lots of family.  Unfortunately, I didn't snap my camera quite enough.




Had to take a break during dinner to pull a tooth!

On Saturday, the sisters and Merrill gathered in Elizabeth's room to help her get dressed.  It was wonderful girl time.  Before we knew it, it was time to get to the church.  It was a rainy morning, but we were able to snap some shots outside.




two of my all-time favorite people!!
a little pre-ceremony get it together talk!!
Christmas card??




On to the reception.  Elizabeth and David chose a nice restaurant for their reception site.  It was a seated dinner which makes having four boys a little difficult.  Fortunately, Elizabeth thought through this and chose a spot with a Bocce ball court and tables for them to eat outdoors!  Score!  Everybody's happy!!



the only shot I got of the couple...sorry!
Merrill loved John and the feeling was quite mutual!


Can you tell he ripped half of his collar off?  Oh well, it had a good run.
Coming soon to a Vineyard Vines catalog!


In addition to the Bocce ball, Elizabeth and David hired a Jedi Master to give the kids Jedi training during the dinner.  Needless to say, my boys were quite entertained!



There really are not words for what a wonderful time we all had.  Our boys were great and I love that Elizabeth and David wanted them to be apart of all of the festivities.  I loved watching them running around and playing with their cousins.  Such special memories.  Elizabeth did an incredible job planning the whole weekend.  Too much fun!
