day of! even though the engagement-to-wedding was a whirl-wind and super fast, it seemed as though this day would never come! and at the same time, it came all-too-quickly!
in the morning, we grabbed coffee and doughnuts and went to my parents' house to finalize the set up. i mainly worked on getting the poms up in the trees and finishing the dessert table. i'm not sure what else we did, but we were there a while - it's always like that, seems like you only have a couple things to do, but they take hours. and there are always more than a couple things to do!

we ran home, where i showered and got ready while i plopped jack in from of a couple curious george shows. bad mom move, but i needed to keep him occupied. pete had to run to the mall to pick up jack's suit. which had been ordered, and delivered, but was nowhere to be found when i tried to pick it up on friday. they ordered a new one super-fast, and it was in the store by 10:30am, next day! crazy. when pete returned, i busted a move up to the event with wet nails and toes. whew. on-time! (laura gets stressed by 'people getting ready' and i couldn't be late because i bossed and bossed and bossed the other girls to be there ON TIME!)
and here we are (here come a ton of pics, sorry):

with future mil |
we took a ton of pics with the girls, laura took some by herself and then with my parents, then it was wedding time! we walked down the aisle at 6pm to a perfect temperature, jack was great, and the ceremony was perfect. i totally had a cry-face during her procession, but i was able to get myself under control for the remainder of the ceremony! not like her at our wedding:

one of my favorite pics :) |

i love this series!
your sis is beautiful, and so is your parents' backyard.
i love that both their girls were married there. it kind of makes my eyes a little watery when i think about it.
