Elizabeth's Wedding



What a fun and busy week! I was honored to stand up for Elizabeth...one of my former youth group girls....and now one of my close friends. :) And the girls were flower girls for the wedding as well! The day was beautiful. It was outdoors at the Boerner Botanical Gardens. Absolutely gorgeous. The only thing about outdoor weddings in 90 degree weather with ultra high humidity was that we were all dripping by the end of the wedding! And each of us bridesmaids had about 3 bees in our bouquets while we were standing up there. It was so hard to not cause a scene and to just stand still watching bees swarm around you up front. :) But everything was just perfect. And the girls did a great job too! At rehearsal they would not go down the aisle...but the day of, they walked in line. Phew! Every time they are flower girls, I tear up when they start walking down the aisle. Hailey was supposed to give Andrew a kiss on the cheek...but then switched to a high five the day of. And then Em was confused why Hailey didn't give him a kiss so then she switched to give him a kiss. :) And then Addy gave a whoppin' big high five. It was great! We'll miss Elizabeth a lot as she moves to Alberta....but at least it's good to know she's with a great guy!

And to make the week crazier, the girls were in Vacation Bible School all week from 9 - 12. So my neighbor and I thought it'd be a great time to have a rummage sale even though all of the other days were packed with bridal luncheons, nail appointments, etc. Just had to take a pic of all the shoes that I was selling :)...and it also shows how HOT it was this week. My camera lens fogged up just because of the high humidity. It's amazing people actually came out in the heat to shop!

EAH
And here we are at Elizabeth's Bachelorette Party the weekend before at her lakehouse. We tie-dyed shirts which is a total elizabeth thing to do. It was so much fun!!
