The Wedding Day!

Notice the title is not "The Wedding" because I do not actually have any photos of the ceremony OR reception, if you can believe it! As soon as I get some I'll post them, because both were perfect and so beautiful. It was literally like something straight out of a magazine, only much better because in magazines the bride and groom are never so completely and totally head over heels in love with one another. Out of everything (and there was a LOT to love) the way Peter and Amanda looked at each other was my very most favorite.

The way these two little girls danced their adorable way down the aisle was a close second. =)

Carly was so beautiful, I could not get over it.

Bree: Gee DOW me! Gee DOW me! (Get DOWN, me!)

My little Leo. What's goin' on out there! Hey everybody! Whatcha doin???

Ready to GO! She crawled in her carseat all by herself and was saying Go-Go me!

I have never seen a limo that big. It was, as Carly says, totally fableeous.

Kalyn! I wore the dress to the wedding and switched for the reception =)

The groomsmen were SO adorable with Bree. Here you can see Bree talking on one iPhone while the guy sitting next to me was calling her on his iPhone. They were so sweet to my girls!

Okay, now, fast forward about 11 hours to 1:30am. The wedding was so perfect. I hope someone got a video of the girls...when I finally let go of Bree and told her to walk to Daddy she did great. When she got to the first big white bow on the side of the pew, she touched it and said "Ohh cute!" Then she did pirouettes every few steps and told ladies how pretty their dresses were and stopped every now and then to help Carly sprinkle petals. Carly was an absolute ANGEL. She sprinkled the petals and then watched to make sure they were even so Auntie Amanda could walk on them. Then she sat more or less still throughout the entire Catholic wedding and was a hit at the reception! She danced with Auntie Lisa for two solid hours then passed out on a couple of chairs. It was so funny because she would block me out on the dance floor. Nobody was dancing with her but Auntie Lisa and nobody was dancing with Auntie Lisa but Carly. So cute! Bree spent the evening with her babysitter who picked her up at the church right after she finished walking. THAT was the best investment I've made in a long, long time. =)
......Anyway, Bree didn't sleep at all. Carly passed out again as soon as she got into that amazing bed at Loew's. We had a corner room with a view of the river and downtown Philly. So beautiful.

The back of my hair! I know it's random, but it was SO cool and I don't think there are other photos. Aunt Anna did it for me. Thanks!!! =)

One of Amanda's gorgeous centerpieces from the reception! The tables alternated between low centerpieces and high arrangements on 3 ft vases filled with clear rocks and little lights. I'm telling y'all, it was perfect!

I don't know how I ended up being the one getting up with these two little morning glories every morning of this trip, but MAN was I grateful for this little coffeemaker. I used up all the Emeril's Big Easy Blend just to get out the door and downstairs where Carly and I went to go pick up breakfast. My father in law told me that I should have had breakfast delivered to me! He was SO RIGHT! =) Kidding, kidding, Carly and I had a nice walk and a few minutes to spend together just us.
