David and Michelle's Wedding

Last weekend, my brother got married. The weather was beautiful and the day went very smoothly. No major problems prior, during, or after the ceremony. Our family friend, Vicki, took some great photos for us and gave us copies of her pics. There were so many to choose from, but I think I chose some of the best. We were able to get Alex to stand still for a pic prior to the ceremony. He did a great job! He walked down with the other ring bearer and stood up front with Carlos, who was a groomsmen, during the entire ceremony. If anyone knows Alex well, then you know this is pretty remarkable for the little guy. I even had a seat for him in the front row with me if he needed to sit or was too wiggly, but he did great.

Marisa and Wesly had their roles as well. Wes was also a ring bearer and Marisa was one of four flower girls. All of the neices and nephews were in the wedding. We kept holding out to see if Wes would walk down the aisle, but since he is not an official walker just yet, he got to ride down with Marisa pulling him. He did amazing also. Was so good during the ceremony. Without having to say anything, Marisa did great as expected =) The happy couple - Mr. and Mrs. Chapman!

Recessing after the ceremony and Alex was to escort 2 of the flower girls out.

Cheesy Wesley!!

The Chapman Kids, all grown up!!

Alex, as expected, was a dancing machine at the reception. Notice he had to lose his tie and jacket because "he was burning up!" Along with dancing, he and the other ring bearer realized how much fun it is to run and slide across the dance floor.

My mom is ALWAYS wanting a picture of all of her kids and grandkids with her. Every year we go to Destin for vacation in the summer and we do the expected khaki pant and white shirt photos on the beach with the sunset in the background. Only problem, every year it seems one of us is not present for this annual event. So we tried our best to get a photo at the reception. Of course we added our newest member, Michelle. This was towards the end of the evening and Wes had been a trooper all day, but really wasn't having it for pictures anymore. Out of about 5 pics this was the winner. I hope mom likes it, becuase I am getting her this picture framed for Mother's Day. (I also hope she does not read this before I see her in a few hours =))

The wedding was a success. Gorgeous weather and people. Good food and dancing. And at the end of the day, David and Michelle were married. I am so happy for them both.
