Day 5: Peter and Bekah's Wedding

Aside from coming to see us, another reason for Mom, Dad, and Jocelyn's trip out here was to join the Nelson Family in celebrating Peter and Bekah's wedding! After our visit out to New Hampshire in May, Spencer and I were extra excited to see everyone! With Bekah's family being from Great Falls, VA the wedding was close by, at the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. What a beautiful wedding it was! We were really excited to be able to celebrate with the happy couple!


Following the ceremony, the couple went out to take pictures. I couldn't resist going out and getting a few pictures as well (thanks Jocelyn for being a photographer for Spencer, Madi, and I).




After pictures, we came back in for some cultural entertainment, followed by dinner and dancing.




After dinner Madi was definitely exhausted. As neither Spencer or I wanted to leave, we tried several things to keep her entertained. Luckily, we remembered her binky and Pendleton. She went from cuddling with me, back and forth to cuddling with Spencer.



I ended up leaving early with Madilyn. She fell asleep on the way home and didn't even wake up when I moved her from the car to her bed (that's a first)! Here's a few more pictures with the rest of the gang near the end of the evening.

The cousins- left to right: Joyce (proud mother of the groom), Spencer's Dad, and Fred (proud uncle of the groom)

Thanks for the pictures of the wedding. Sure wish we could have been there. It's great that you are living close enough to have seen them this summer as well. I guess Bob and I had better go back there next year to see you guys and them!
