My Sister's Wedding!

This weekend was my beautiful sisters wedding!!!

The morning of the wedding:

 4:30am my alarm rang, good thing it did because I fell asleep at 3:30am so I didn't get any sleep! Baby K was sleeping so nicely I really didn't want to wake him. But we had to go! I had 3 bags packed for a whole day out with the baby. I then drove to my aunts house to pick 2 of my cousins (bridesmaids) up. We then went to Tim Hortons to get breakfast for all the girls. The order took forever! 9 coffees and bagels haha. 

We got to my moms house around 6am. The bride and grooms mom were already getting their hair and makeup done. 9 girls to get their hair and makeup done took a while! The bride was nervous! her hair was last, which should have been first! All the girls including myself touched up our makeup to how we usually like it. I added darker liner and used my own mascara, and we alllll added bronzer ahahaha. 
 
I helped my sister get dressed, she took my breath away! The photographers came and they took pictures of her and the bridal party. *We took pictures on a hill of grass, my joints are still weak from giving birth so with my heels and trying to balance, I sprained my ankle :(

The beautiful bride!
The church:
We got there right on time! The bride was ready!!!  We handed my BIL and SIL baby K to hold during the ceremony. The couples started to make their way down the aisle... then it was my turn. I couldn't walk, my ankle hurt too much! I panicked. My SIL yelled out "take off your shoes!" so I stepped aside and threw them off! haha! I walked barefoot down the aisle haha! I walked down with my niece the flower girl and the best man (he was the best, bestman, the grooms brother soo helpful and organized)

Then down came the beautiful bride!!!!! The ceremony was lovely! My sister got married!



We then headed to take pictures and then made our way to the hall. I stole these pictures from my brother, he took amazing pictures of the day. 

 
 

 

The hall was decorated soo nice! The cake, the centerpieces, beautiful!



We partied the night away! She also had a photo booth which was a big hit with the guests. 
And at the end of the night burgers and fries! mmm mmm!

My sister danced with my brother for the father daughter dance, it was so nice and also emotional for us. My family is getting bigger and bigger and I am so blessed and happy. 

My experience being in the wedding with a 5 month old was a little hectic for me. Baby K was soooo good, no complaints there. But feeding, changing, napping... it was a lot of work juggling baby and wedding tasks. My ankle and muscles in my leg still hurts a lot boo! But I survived! I had lots of help too so that was great.  Overall the day went perfect and my sister was happy about how smooth the whole day went.

I'm soooo happy for my sister and my new BIL. They are now enjoying their time in Jamaica!!!
