The First June Wedding

We made it through the first June wedding! It was definitely a full weekend of family, fun, and of course, craziness, but let’s see if I can condense it enough so you don’t fall asleep reading! Friday afternoon we arrived in Taiton 5 minutes before the rehearsal began. Due to many reasons, I’m not going to disclose ALL the events of the car trip as I probably would NOT have won the mother-of-the-year award!!!!! All I can say is it was TOTAL CHAOS! I think Aubree in particular was saying: "Mom and Dad…I absolutely refuse to take ANOTHER trip. This is getting ridiculous!" Well, since we know that at age 10 months (wow!!! 10 months!!!!), she can only actually say "dada, mama, babababa", and screetch/scream/cry loudly…I’ll let you decide which she chose to serenade us with for 2 ½ hours! The rehearsal went well. Brock did GREAT! He went up and down the aisle like a pro and even held the cute little flower girl’s hand! It was precious! The rehearsal dinner was great! Brock was thrilled to get a box of transformers as a gift for being such a great ring bearer. The day leading up to the wedding flew by quickly. We were there for pictures by 12:15. Brock was as photogenic as always and I was really lucky to get some great shots right along side the photographer. The bride was beautiful…just beautiful! The groom couldn’t have looked happier! I’m so happy for Scott & Susan and I’m so happy to have Susan as an official member of the extended Dornak family! The wedding begins and guess who freaks out in front of the crowd? You guessed it! The ring bearer!! The flower girl left him behind and Tom had to eventually walk him down the aisle. He hung in with the groomsmen for a while, but eventually made his way back to mommy and our precious little boy even got escorted out of church twice for his behavior! It was one of those moments as a parent you just want to crawl away and hide! And to think...we get to do this again in TWO WEEKS...with $140 tux!! I'm still in sticker shock over that one! He's FOUR!

The Dornak Cousins: Allison, Meredith, Lisa, Lori, Tom, Susan, Scott, Jeffrey, Rebecca, Estella, Bret (Missing: Dede, Kristen, Casey, Megan, Christopher & Ashley)

Anyhoo, the reception was wonderful! We all had a lot of fun and I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with my cousins, aunts and uncles!
