You're My Forever: Austin and Ashley's Wedding

Family Vacation: The Wedding Dance

And the Wedding dance and reception continues.....

And here we are! The first two "in laws" of the Jackson family :)

Just hanging by the fireplace

A very serious talk going on here.

Aunt Barbara checking in with the babies.

These two are quite the pair. Amelia made that bow tie for Cullen. He looks a bit like Colonel Sanders in my head.

The Mr. and Mrs. Adam Jacksons.

I love this picture of them.

And I CLEARLY love this picture of us.

Aunt Amelia and Charlotte caught the bouquet. Yes, initially there WAS a throwdown BUT it was all taken care of and Amelia and Charlotte got it!

Kisses...

This is my favorite picture from the reception. My all time favorite of these three together.

Who wouldn't want us as sister in laws?? :)

And there he is. Mr. America himself.

These two were taring up the dance floor!

It's a party :)

Charlotte raided the photobooth props and stole the bouquet. She is ready.

Mid dance move.

That pose. So. Much. Sass.

You can dance if you want to!

The last picture of the night!

Everyone on that dance floor had plenty of love, fun, and alcohol flowing through their veins.

By 10:30, the kids had reached their max. They were exhausted, crabby, and ready to just leave. Alex drove Adrienne's car and I drove our car. The kids went RIGHT to bed. Since Adam and Amelia were in the wedding, they had to stay until the very end and help. When they were done, they met us at Adam and Adrienne's house with Cullen. We all hung out and had a few drinks and talked for awhile. It was nice to get to hang out and just enjoy each other for awhile before we headed out to Charleston the next morning.

Congratulations to Austin and Ashley!!!

The wedding was beautiful! We are so glad we could make it!

Family Vacation: Let's Celebrate Mr. and Mrs. Jackson

They did it! Austin and Ashley are married. Time for us to all celebrate!

The reception was in the house and the tent of the Jasmine House....just on the opposite side of the venue from the ceremony.

There was a live band. The kids LOVED the band.

There was lots of family there.

Aunt Barbara and her beautiful family were there.

The cake was so beautiful.

The food was good!

Sharing treats with Great Grandma Mimi. She had set up shop inside at the reception. It was MUCH cooler in there :)

Charlotte was SO excited when Aunt Ashley and Uncle Austin came to the reception after pictures. She was so excited about the princess dress.

The cowboy hats I bought from the Target dollar section really did come in handy! Happy Fourth of July!

Uncle Keith's gorgeous family!

The girls are so grown up.

The wedding party was announced and the bride and groom were having their first dance.

Watching the first dance.

Grandpa and Grandma were posing for a picture and as this handsome little guy ran through, Aunt Sally picked him up quickly to join the picture.

Feeding Grandma chocolate kisses...

Oh Charlotte. Always putting on a show. She loved talking to Aunt Nancy and the girls.

I love this one. All three girls look so pretty.

This little guy was overwhelmed and tired. The best place to be is Daddy's arms.

It's toast and cake cutting time!

To Be Continued...

Family Vacation: Ashley and Austin's Wedding

On July 4, 2014, Austin married his longtime girlfriend, Ashley.

They were married in an outside ceremony at the Jasmine House in Lexington, SC. It was so pretty.

We arrived a BIT late. We had allowed the kids to sleep as long as possible being that they'd had such a busy week. We knew it would be a long, hot night so we didn't want to have crabby kiddos. Well, we let them sleep too long. When we got to the ceremony, we hadn't planned for the small amount of parking available. By the time we go to the site, we were allll a hot mess. Luckily we made it before bride and groom had walked in :)

Waiting to be seated. LOVE Sawyer's face.

These two. Haha. I love this picture. Clearly Jenn had lost her balance.

This pretty girl. Prettiest little face at the wedding. Keeping it real with the fourth of July themed clothing for her and Sawyer.

Oh Adam. He did such a good job at escorting all of the ladies in.

Grandma Jackson and Uncle Adam walking. (We ducked in and took the closest empty row of seats so we wouldn't make an commotion. Yep, sat on the wrong side. But TECHNICALLY Ashley is family now too.)

The grooms side of the aisle :)

This guy and his blonding hair.... He was a bit warm and busy during the ceremony.

Here Comes The Groom....

And Ashley and her Daddy.

She looked like a princess :) Charlotte was in awe.

This looked so pretty. The lights and lanterns and everything.

Aunt Amelia is on the left as a bridesmaid, Uncle Adam and Grandma Jackson are on the right side standing up with Uncle Austin. It's a family affair :)

You may kiss the bride...
