Tyler & Misty's Wedding

Congratulations to Tyler & Misty! We hope you have a wonderful life together - and thanks for giving us the opportunity to get all dressed up! We had such a great time at the wedding, which happened to be 2 days after our 7th anniversary (which was another great reason to dress up & have a party). Austin looked SO great in his tux, Aubrey of course was a little princess as always - and I even survived wearing my HEELS! No accidents, trips or even stumbles for me, which is a miracle, as I have never worn heels before (even at my own wedding)!

Our very favorite was seeing Ethan in his tuxedo! He was the ring-bearer, & in anticipation for this we have spent months getting him ready for this big day. Usually Ethan is shy & gets embarrassed easily when too many people are watching him - to the point of rage, actually - so, needless to say we had been worried how he would do walking down the aisle with all eyes on him. It is funny what you stoop to as parents to get your children to do really important events - bribery, extortion, even blackmail has no limits in situations like these. We convinced Ethan that he was a "Super Spy" & that his "mission" was to get the ring on the pillow safely to Uncle Ty. Knowing that he would be self-conscious of the audience, we convinced him (forgive me the little white lie) that his cufflink was an "invisibility button" that turned him invisible to all. We had great fun practicing this before the big moment, & I am so happy to say that Ethan did magnificently! He did such a great job that he earned a Wii game from Grandpa Charlie & Grandma Dona - Ethan must have known he did a stellar job, because the first thing he said after the ceremony was "where's my game?" He didn't let go of it the whole night & delighted in smacking uncle Tyler in the butt with it during wedding photos - thats why we were smiling so much!

Needless to say, Tyler was handsome & of course Misty was gorgeous - she should definitely consider a career as a wedding planner if her dreams of a doctor fall through - everything was so beautiful. Congrats guys!

You guys look GREAT! Way to step up to the plate with the heels, too. Thanks for the continuing advice about the baby gear...there are SO many choices and it is HARD not to get overwhelmed.
