Pomerleau Family Blog: Rachel's Wedding Festivities

We got back from San Diego and then my sister had her wedding the following weekend. Sean and I had the entire week off still. We headed down to Corvallis 2 days before the wedding in time for a large family dinner at my parent’s house. We also had the Rehearsal dinner the next day, which was a lot of fun. It was at the wedding site. Brandon had a lot of fun playing with his second cousin Jamie (my cousin’s Trevor’s son) as well as my friend Katie’s son Duncan. They chased each other all around the wedding site and then would jump on each other. So cute!

On the wedding day, Tory and I got our hair done and it looked really good. Then we went to the site and helped Rachel get ready. My sister’s wedding dress was so pretty and she looked so beautiful in it! We took some photos before the wedding on my camera and then I will rely on the photos from the photographer for the ceremony shots. It was so nice again having so much of my family visiting and a part of Rachel’s special day. Brandon was supposed to be the ring bearer and walk down the aisle but he was fussy before the ceremony and never made it down! There were 11 small children at Rachel’s wedding so there was a lot of playmates for Brandon. It was also nice that my mom got 2 nannies to assist with watching some of the kids to give us a break.

Brandon definitely was the life of the party when the music came on! He loved dancing with especially pretty girls. He has more rhythm than both Sean and I already at 20 months. He danced the night away and ended up staying up until 11:45 PM, which is amazing! He was chatty and happy even on the way home. He amazed us as well because he was not too cranky the next day even with staying up so late. We got home happy but tired and glad to be home. It felt like we had been traveling for quite some time!
