melissa and steven got married

on the beautiful spring/summer day of june first, melissa and steven got married :) we were happy to be there.

paul however, is a very amateur phtographer, so becca's more like a wig for steven... sorry both of you

there were a number of adorable neices and nephews there... though not all the cousins could make it...
ps, they're all adorable too

i tried to get some fun cute shots with my kids, but they had other ideas...

afton's always happy to pose

evidentally malachi only has white socks... this isn't normally an issue at church since he refuses to wear any sort of shoes or socks to church, but maybe soon it'll be time to press that issue... maybe this winter?? and yes, if anyone from church sees these pictures, know that he does own shoes!

i thought the kids would be happier to try a family shot if they could climb on the trees a little bit... rayna wasn't convinced.

but the idea of chocolate chips for lunch helped, and she agreed to smile for some of the family pictures... i think this might be the best we got, any opinions???

and then there was the reception!!

we love us a good party :D

 

cousins dancing as everyone else finished getting ready. those 2 handsome gentlemen evidentally tried unsuccessfully to get any of their sisters or cousins to dance with them...

rayna was much happier to be dancing and partying!

afton too!

sorry this one's backwards, they were moving too much to get their faces in the photo

and i just have to include one of the centerpieces because missy did all the flowers for the whole wedding... cause you know, it's not stressful enough being the bride!

and i don't seem to have any pictures of malachi at the reception, but this was clearly his favorite part, i think he had 2 pieces of cake, and tons of other snacks. he was more for eating than dancing :)

and just one more cute little picture, aren't they sweet!?!
