After breakfast we did some quick running around and stopped at the Mall. We found me a new watch (since mine broke the night before) some earrings and a necklace to wear for the wedding. Got to love the $5.00 table at Sears! After heading around a bit more we finally went home and had some lunch and hung out for a bit. Everyone had their showers (Mom was home by then) and we started to get ready to go. Becca, James and the girls showed up and I quickly jumped in the shower one more time! We all got ready to go after that.
My cousin, Sarah, and her friend came and watched the 4 kiddos for us. It was wonderful! We left them some money for Boston Pizza and they ordered that for supper. We left a quick note saying what each of the kids would want/eat and headed out from there.
Kyler came with us to the wedding since it was his Godmother getting married! We didn’t enforce nap time (although maybe it would have been a good idea). Instead he napped when he got to the church. We got in and got a seat and K fell asleep quickly. The wedding was beautiful! I have to admit, and I know Leah will read this, but some of the ‘funnier’ things for us was:
*seeing people who we hadn’t seen in forever and none of them remembering my name, just that I was Cathy’s kid!
*the Father’s dog who barked through the whole first of the service until Daddy took him out of the church and walked him around the church until the limo driver told Dad that the wedding party was coming out of the church and Dad brought the puppy back to the room and came out like he missed nothing (so Leah if you read this, maybe show dad the video of the wedding, he assures me what he saw/heard it was beautiful!)
*the Father never saying “Leah” instead saying “Laya”
We woke Kyler up when Leah and Pat were signing the registery and we had him watch that and see how pretty “his Leah” was. It was so cute. Mom came over and quickly said hi and told Kyler that Leah had a really pretty dress on and a diamond really close to her heart and she asked Kyler if he knew why and he said because her heart was happy!
After the wedding was over we went outside and because the weather had changed they quickly got bad. It was the worst storm ever! (esp back here in Toronto) They did most of the photos in the church then the wedding party went out to the bridge and got some great photos. They seemed to have a lot of fun.
During this time we ran home with Kyler and go there just as the dinner came so K sat down and had supper and Arnold and I went to the basement and dried my dress! It was soaking!
We headed back out and when we got to the reception we realized we forgot their gift! So we headed back out to the house and picked it up. Once we got to the reception Arnold put the gift in the pile and we hung out with my sister and her husband and Jack. Then…. I got ‘the text message’. It was from Kristina telling me that the rain was REALLY bad. I went out of the hall and called them to see what was going on. It turns out the storm we had during the wedding was super bad at the campground and flooded it. Here are the photos I got from Kristina when we got home from our weekend. I told her to just leave it. No one would come now to take anything and off they went.
As you can see it was kinda bad. Arnold called Rob, the landlord, and asked if it was possible to get in the night before we were hoping since Kristina said she would be able to have us stay with her on the Sunday night if we needed to. Rob said Monday night was fine with him and we went back to enjoying the reception. It was BEAUTIFUL! Everything was so nice, perfect! I loved it so much and we had SO much fun!
We left early, like we always seem to do, but I’m just not used to staying awake that long and Arnold wasn’t feeling so well so we headed home. We got home and went to sleep, after flipping the laundry. I should say that we ‘ran out of rooms’ in my parents house. Odd how that happens hey? But sometimes it does. The kids were in one room, Jack in his, we were in the guest room and Becca and James in the master bedroom. Mom and dad slept in the RV. They seemed to have fun and that’s all that matters sometimes! That and Dad hooked everything up and mom had COLD diet cokes in the fridge!
Here are some photos I managed to snag from mom from the wedding and one of the “Heslop’s and Leah”
Is Leah not one of the most gorgeous brides ever?
