Murphy's Laws: Wedding Edition


  • If you plan an outdoor wedding, there will be a threat of rain.  If you're really "lucky," a flood occurs that's second only to Noah's.  One inch per hour, folks.  No joke. 
  • If you're son is chosen to be esteemed ring bearer #2, rest assured he will fall ill with something rather deadly mere days before he is set to perform his duties.  Allergies, cold, botulism, take your pick. 
  • If your son does come down with aforementioned illness, please take note that he will spend the days prior to his important wedding duties in a bit of a fog.  THE FOG leads to a host of spills and mishaps, including but not limited to: falling down the stairs, falling off a chair (x2), running into doors, running into table corners and general falling/tripping over absolutely nothing.  The poor child looks like he went 10 rounds with Ali. 
Yes, all these things and many, many more have occurred in the past 72 hours, but you get the point.  I actually had four more bullet points of mishaps we experienced but the list just became too depressing.  

Yes, Kenyon was in a wedding tonight.  Yes, he managed to make it down the aisle (his dad stood by the preacher and shook a can of Pringles chips).  Yes, we had to leave immediately after the supper ended and our sickly little child passed out in his car seat before we made it a mile out of town.  Yes, the wedding had to be moved indoors rather last minute.  All these things happened and more.  But who cares?  

The bride was beyond gorgeous, the food was superb, music sounded great and at the end of everything stood two folks who became one in marriage.  A good day, regardless of Murphy and his confounded laws. 

The outdoor rehearsal on Friday night was beautiful.


The groom's father built the awning they were to be married under.

Let me get this straight... They kiss at the end?  That's kind of gross.
(This is quite possibly my favorite picture of the entire weekend.)

Be still my heart.  If there was a cuteness quota for ring bearers, rest assured it was met.  And passed.

  1. Do you have any recommendation for hiring the banquet halls in Chicago? I am searching for good venues and seeking for an honest opinion from so long. Please help me with your valuable suggestions if you have any.

Just like mama said... If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
