My sister got married Memorial Day weekend and it was such a beautiful wedding. She was a gorgeous bride, just stunning! Preston was a ring bearer, I was a bridesmaid and Ashten was a flower girl. It was the least stressful wedding I have ever been a part of. Maybe Olivia was stressed as the bride, but I never saw it or felt rushed or pressured to hurry up.
We started off the morning with an early workout at her Crossfit gym. I was pretty nervous since I've never done Crossfit before, but besides not being able to do all the pull-ups, I was able to do everything else. It felt kind of good to hold my own with those tough Crossfit girls! After the workout we came home and showered before heading over to the reception site to set up. My mom met us there with all the decorations and we just put the centerpieces on the tables and stuff like that. Ashten and my niece, Madison, were working very hard, as you can see!
After the wedding we did a few quick pictures with all the extended family at the wedding site and then the wedding party rode a bus to a different outdoor location for more pictures. I love their photographer, she was so quick and efficient and got some cute poses. So much better than our wedding photographer. Over 2 hours of pictures - not kidding!!! My dad took this picture right behind the photographer and it's probably my favorite picture of all of us at the wedding!
After that, it was time to party!! Eating dinner, dancing, it was a blast. We stayed till the kids dropped, literally! Ashten fell asleep about 5 feet from the loud dance floor sitting up in a chair. We knew it was our cue to go.
Olivia invited the rest of us sisters to be part of her father/daughter dance towards the end of the song. It was such a sweet time, all of us dancing with my dad at once!

From there, Ashten and I went over the hair salon to get our hair done. Ashten loved this part, she loves the hair salon! She especially liked it this time because they had orange juice and fancy glasses to drink from, she probably had 4 glasses of juice!!
We hung out at the hair salon the rest of the morning and then when everyone was done, we went back to my sister's house to get dressed and take a few getting-ready pictures.
Then it was on to the ceremony! We got there early and Olivia hid so Dan wouldn't see her before she walked down the aisle.

| Melt my heart! |
The ceremony was so sweet. Olivia and Dan wrote their own vows and they were so personal and sweet! It was super windy and my dress my have flown up at one point, so I held it securely down at my side the rest of the time.

| At the last minute, Ashten got stage fright and wouldn't walk down, so just Madison and Preston did. |
