The Williams Family Blog: Amazing Wedding!

Well this was the big weekend. Ashley and Chad finally tied the knot! The ceremony was GREAT, the bride was beautiful and Burke cried all the way down the aisle, then puked... AWWW! :)

We had a great week last week getting ready for the big day. Burke had some good days and some bad days. Monday wasn't great, but we went to Books A Million to play with the trains. Since he had been sick on Sunday he stayed home with me on Monday. It was a nice day to spend together. It is such a great FREE activity for us. Burke loves playing with the trains and I LOVE watching him :)

We had a pretty busy week getting ready for the wedding. But it was so worth it. It was such a great weekend. Burke ended up going to daycare Thursday and Friday this past week. It was such a HUGE help! Thursday I went into work in the morning, then headed over to Megan's to make the cupcakes in a jar. I wish I had taken pics because they ended up so cute! They were the favors for Ash's wedding. It was just a red velvet or pumpkin cupcake in a mason jar.. They were adorable though! Megan and I spent the afternoon making cupcakes. It was quite a process (212 cupcakes takes a LONG TIME!), but fun. After we made the cupcakes, we ran over to the high school to watch Ashley's volleyball game. Burke and I try to go to as many home games as we can to support Ash's team. After the game, everyone headed over to Chad's, where we finished the cupcakes. We had to ice them and then put the lids, fabric and stickers on. There were a TON of people, so we finished pretty quick. After cupcakes, we decorated the wagon for Burke and Lucy to ride in (wish I had a picture :( it was ADORABLE!)

Friday we got up early and headed out to the club to drop off some things and finish some last minute setting up etc. After that we headed to Chad's to finish the welcome bags, then to the hotels to deliver them. After a quick stop at the hotel we went to get our nails done. It was SO NICE! I NEVER get manicures or pedicures and it was a nice treat :) After we finished there, it was a quick trip home to get ready and go to the rehearsal, then dinner. The dinner was a BBQ with live band at Chad's house. The food was great as was the band. It was casual (which is always a plus for Brian! :) ) and relaxing!

Saturday was a CRAZY day! But good crazy. I got up early to run to the club to drop off some last minute things and set some things up. Then over to hair, decorate the church, get ready, pictures, and then it was time... Brian and Burke got to the church at 3:30. Burke seemed tired, but was in a decent mood. He did GREAT with everything up until about 4:25 (the wedding started at 4:30). Out of nowhere and for no apparent reason, Burke started crying and was NOT happy! There was nothing I could do to console him. When it was his turn to go down the aisle, I told Brayden to just pull the wagon and not worry if Burke cried.. Just keep walking.. And that's what he did! It was kind of cute as he cried down the aisle.. but yes he cried all the way... Mid way through the ceremony, I took him out because he was crawling around and starting to disturb people. Once the wedding was over he started freaking again. He did a few pictrues with the wedding party and then him and Brian left to head to the reception. As soon as they got there he puked all over Brian.. LOVELY! They ended up heading home shortly after I got there and of course Burke puked all over his tux on the way home. GREAT! But after, he was MUCH better! The reception was great. I stayed behind and got a ride home (Thanks Hutch!). Over all it was a GREAT DAY! Minus the puke..

The ONLY picture we got at the wedding :(

Sunday we headed over to the brunch to say good bye to Ash and Chad, then headed to Cracker Barrell for breakfast. Since Burke didn't get to wear his awesome tuxedo onsie for the reception.. he wore it Sunday!
