Figs From Thistles: We Have a New Aunt!

Jesse and Nicole's Indianapolis wedding was an elegant affair. Much to my relief, littlest dutifully marched down the aisle and 'sprinkled her pebbles' as she walked alongside Noah, who graciously kept littlest on task. Once at the front and for the most part, littlest stood quietly on her mark though she did place her basket on her head once or twice. Littlest looked adorable in her ivory dress and flower wreath. She accessorized her look with a bracelet presented to her at the rehearsal dinner. Bop quickly noticed the bracelet was engraved with a 'C' which could also signify HER name.

Bop and Bailey did an excellent job of managing the guest book and distributed programs to all of the guests. I sat in the pew with Matty and Log and watched as Jesse and Nicole pledged themselves to each other before God; there weren't many dry eyes. Nicole was lovely.

At the reception, our family managed to make it through the meal without spilling any drinks! Log was a bit distraught that he didn't have an official wedding party duty, so I told him he was in charge of making sure no one blew out the candles set about the room.

After dinner and the first dances, the floor was open and the kiddos cut a rug until they were out of breath and energy. Littlest snared almost all of the men in the family and Grandma as partners while Log preferred to dance solo and much in the style of 'Elaine' from Seinfeld. Matty danced about the floor in a mock Russian fashion, and Bop danced mostly with Bailey and Noah. J and I also pulled out some old school moves and danced when our wedding song was played.

It was a great evening where we were able to visit with family that we see too rarely. We are so happy to call you sister, Nicole!
