Wedding Day

The third day was the BIG day.  We were pretty low key in the morning, we walked around, ate some more food, I even managed to get a nap in.  Hooray for naps!  Here is a beautiful picture of my mother and I.  She looks so amazing!  I'm pretty sure I have only a hand full of pictures with her.  I'm printing this one for sure.  She is the most amazing person I know.  

And my handsome husband, who decided to shave is awesome chops right before the wedding.  He didn't want them to take away from the wedding pictures.  That's how awesome they really were.  

And here starts the craziness of another night.  The dancing begins.  It was an absolutely beautiful wedding.  The ceremony was short and sweet, I guess to get the eating (yes more eating), drinking (yes more drinking), and dancing (oh and more dancing) started.   They had a band playing great music.  We all had such a great time.  What fun memories we created with our entire family.

Here is Danielle, the beautiful bride, and my new sister in law.  

Thanks for the great time Matt and Danielle, congratulations!

NO Day 2

The next day we headed out for some fresh air to find some gators.  It was a success, we saw several.  The air boat did a good job of waking everyone up and getting us ready for another long night...

We celebrated again with the wedding party at the rehearsal dinner.  What and amazing dinner.  I must say the food in New Orleans is pretty amazing.  Good, hearty, fattening, and delish.  Maybe we just aren't used to food like that because we really don't head out to dinner much any more or maybe the food in AZ just isn't that southern style delishishness (is that a word?).  We had amazing wine with a 5 course dinner, all while being super dressed up in suits, dresses and heels.  As you can see from the smile on my face we were having a great time.  I also was trying my best to not have my droopy left eye in the picture (perhaps I overcompensated in this one).

Here is a beautiful picture of my amazing parents.  They hosted this wonderful night.

Here's my family.  I am so thankful of such wonderful people in my life.

New Orleans day 1

So we, as in Aaron and I and our entire family, headed out to New Orleans for the big celebration.  Little Matty is GETTING MARRIED.  And what a fun time it was.  Our first evening there we headed out for an awesome dinner and of course met up with everyone on Bourbon Street for some old fashioned partying.  We sure made the best of it staying out until 2.  Then the boys headed out for the bachelor party.  

Yes, you read it right they started it at 2am.

Here's me and my little bro.  Isn't he awesome.  Not so little but still my little bro.  It was nice to get to have some drinks and enjoy each others company even though there were thousands of people with us.

Here's some of the family and friends we got to spend some time with.
