Bryan & Lauren's Wedding

On the Last Day of January my sweet cousin Bryan married Lauren in a beautiful ceremony at Ashton Gardens in Corinth, TX. 

It was a fun family weekend and my kids took part in all the festivities.

The rehearsal dinner was at Joe T.'s on Friday night in the La Puertita building and it brought back such memories for Ben and I since our rehearsal dinner was there too.

 

The wedding was beautiful and Dylan and Kinley sat with me and were great through the whole thing. Ty had to go to the bathroom at the last second and Ben took him and the wedding coordinator wouldn't let them back in when they got back.

So, they missed the ceremony.

 Bummer.

 But, it was fantastic. Bryan cried so sweetly when Lauren walked down the aisle and my FAVORITE part was the immediate family prayer during communion. I hadn't seen it before but right after Bryan and Lauren lit the unity candle and had a moment themselves, they brought up their parents and siblings with them and gathered in a circle on stage and prayed together while we listened to a song.

 It was precious.

Kinley took our picture before the wedding. Great camera work.

The reception was fab and we danced the night away.

Kinley danced nonstop with Rilee and Taylor and Ty LOVED the glow sticks that were available.

We stayed till the bitter end and cheered on the newlyweds as they left in Uncle Matt-Matt's Maserati.

 

We stayed the night at a hotel in Corinth and even though we weren't that far from home the hotel stay was so fun. My kids thought we were on vacation. And we had a big cousin breakfast at Cracker Barrel the next morning.

 

Everyone thought these boys were twins

 

We texted Bryan and Lauren that we were still partying and celebrating them and they texted us back with their own breakfast pic.

 

It was such a fun night! Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. Grant!
