Wedding Weekend

We had been counting down for Steph and Matt's wedding weekend for over a year and it finally arrived!  And what a fun weekend it was!  I loved having all our family from California, Illinois, Iowa and Texas in town.  It was a once in a lifetime weekend.  And of course I loved being next to Stephanie as she married the man of her dreams.

We kicked off the wedding festivities with a bike bar tour of OKC and a takeover of a local bar for singing and dancing.  I might have kicked off the weekend a little too hard but it was well worth it :)  SO MUCH FUN!

Pre bike bar drinks and dinner at Fuzzy's

Friday started with an amazing bridal lunch for Steph



followed by much needed pedicures

Then two little monkeys jumped on the hotel bed as we got ready for the rehearsal dinner

Rehearsal and rehearsal dinner time

 Mason was MIA for our family pic.  He was such a trooper all weekend being passed around by all his admirers!



 
Toasting Steph's last night as a Nelson with lunchboxes from Ednas!

What a difference a little hair and makeup can make!
 


Matt's brothers looked ready to do a little pre wedding Chippendale's dance

And then my picture taking basically ended.  I was nervous for the twins flower girl and ring bearer debut and too excited for Steph to tie the knot.  The twins didn't do exactly what they were supposed to do, they are two, but they were sure funny.  They took about five steps down the aisle, Harper dropped about 5 petals and then they turned around and started running back.  Then they had a change of heart, turned back around and sprinted down the aisle.  No more petal throwing but Jackson did manage to toss his pillow.  They had the entire church laughing.  From there it went a little down hill bc they saw me at the front of the church and had no idea what to do.  Oh the memories!  Hopefully someone snapped a few pics to document this moment.
 
These two kicked off dancing while everyone was eating.  I guess dancing is way more fun than eating to them, not me.
 Dress twinkies!
What a weekend!  Congrats to Matt and Steph. 
 
And a special thank you to Mimi and Papa for helping with the twins this weekend.  Obviously from the pics a chunk of our weekend was spent in bars so Mimi and Papa were in charge quite a bit.
