Will's Wedding


Since we had such a successful drive to Michigan at Christmas, we decided to do it again! Call us crazy, but we managed to make it there and back without too much pain or whining. Okay, I whined a little. :) 
But the two day drive was totally worth it, because we got to have so much fun with all our Tack/Wilson family! And we got to be a part of Drew's brother Will's beautiful wedding to the amazing and lovely Brennan!

We arrived a few days before the wedding, so we got to help decorate the reception hall and just relax and spend time with all the other family members who were in town. 
Including getting to meet some new cousins!



The night before the wedding we had a rehearsal dinner with the wedding party. Drew was a groomsman, and Lilly and Henry were a flower girl and ring bearer, respectively. We ran through the ceremony a few times and then ate way too much pizza. Also, here's more proof that Henry has an irresistible urge to be silly in all pictures.

On the day of, we all got dressed up and ready for action!

















The ceremony was beautiful, and Lilly was an excellent little flower girl. Henry got scared at the last minute and didn't enter as planned, but he jumped into action when it was time to exit! Grabbing his little ring box, he darted down the aisle after the rest of the wedding party (to giggles and smiles from the other guests). He was pretty proud of himself. 
 


And Lilly didn't feel her job was done until she had gathered all her petals back up. :)

While we waited for dinner to begin, Henry made sure to give everyone hugs. And Lilly was in heaven with all her little girl cousins.




The reception was gorgeous, right down to the mismatched china plates. The kids decided that Grammy's table was more exciting than ours. We danced the night away. Or in Lilly's case, cartwheeled the night away. She and her cousin, Ella (not pictured), exhausted themselves doing cartwheels for hours. Literally, hours.




We finished out the weekend by spending Sunday in our pjs, playing at Oma and Opa's house, and eating a delicious curry dinner with the Wilson fam. 
Perfect way to end the trip.

It was sure hard to leave behind such fun people.
 So who wants to throw the next wedding? ;)
