We stayed at a hotel in Rock Falls, IL where a lot of our friends and family were also staying. The next morning we woke up early to get ready for the BIG DAY! I was so worried about Nash getting a good nap and worried he wasn't going to want to put on his tux. The boys stayed with Jason at the hotel in the morning while the girls gathered for hair and makeup. Jason brought the boys to me around noon and much to my delight, Nash and Nolan were both sleeping in their car seats. I hung out in the van with them so they could get as much sleep as possible. We all met up at Daniele's parents house to get dressed and have pictures taken. The boys both woke up happy and Nash was willing to put his tux on like all of the other guys.
We had some great pictures taken then drove to the church. Nash had only one meltdown about 10 minutes before the wedding started because he wanted to stay in the nursery and play. I had bought him a stuffed Woody doll for just this type of incident. Woody seemed to do the trick. At 4pm we started walking down the isle of the very packed church. Whitney went down first, then me, then a couple of the other bridesmaids. All of the sudden I heard "YAY!" while Nash, Woody and Callie the flowergirl came running down the isle. Everyone laughed. He stood up front and ate the fruit snacks that Daniele had left up front for him while the bride and groom said their vows. It was a beautiful wedding and the boys did great. Nolan got a little fussy so Evan took him into the other room during the ceremony. Thanks Evan! After the wedding we all hopped on a bus to the reception.
Nash and Nolan went back to the hotel with our friend Samantha around 9:00 to catch some z's.
The rest of us celebrated until about midnight then rode the bus back to the hotel. It was so fun to catch up with friends and family. The day turned out perfect.
Congratulations Will and Daniele!
