Katie's Getting Married

Well we knew this, but she is really doing it now! She is going to have her wedding here in Virginia in September on the reservoir. It's such a beautiful venue. Katie and her best friend Maeve came down for the weekend for the Richmond Bridal Show. There were so many vendors! On Long Island most weddings are done at a catering hall. The only outside vendors are flowers and the band. My wedding was pretty kick ass. Wrong groom, but awesome day. We had enough food to feed a large third world nation and there was no stone left unturned. In VA, a lot of places are rented and then you bring in a caterer. This distressed my father who really likes the idea of everything under one roof with an open bar for the whole event. Katie found it! It is going to be amazing and so pretty at that time of year! The bridal show was really a lot of fun because Maeve and I ate a lot of cake. And at every booth candy or cookies. Maeve and I also got fake light up rings which Maeve is totally going to sport back in Boston. Here are a few of the Bridal Show.

And here is us the day before sporting princess tiaras at the mall. Katie totally should wear this on her wedding day!
And for good measure here is the dude, who is consistently peeing now at school and has started going poopy over the weekend. He is in love with twins in the older kids class (his girls) so I think he wants to join them in the big kids room. Hey whatever works right?

Love Preston's shirt!! And of course all the pictures of the girls! Weddings are fun. Don't anybody get stressed out like the Bridezillas on TV. Yow. How does anybody actually marry those girls!?

Kim, I gotta find out where you got that t-shirt...I need one for Aidan. Both of our kids are pooping and peeing...woohoo!

Kim!
That tshirt is too cute! I think Caden needs one too! You crack me up - your comment about the wedding and your groom - too funny! Congrats to your sister! How fun will that be - My brother is also getting married in September. Caden is the ring bearer - hope he decides to start walking by then.
As far as our weather in Washington - where we live things are fine, however we did loose 18 inches of snow in 12 hours - crazy! The mountain pass we go over to get to our appointments at childrens' is still closed which makes for an hour longer drive - ugh! Anyway, some areas are bad - but you know the media they like to dramatize it :-)

Congrats congrats!!! Oh, and like everyone else, love Prestons shirt! But i don't think Lilah could wear it as well as him-she tends to fall over her feet about every 10 steps or so! IDK what the deal is-i think she has her fathers cordination though!!!

Katie looks so pretty! Weddings are awesome, you guys are going to have so much fun planning it. What a great idea to have the wedding in VA! I'm sure it will be beautiful. YAY for Preston using the potty at school! I seriously think the girls have something to do with it...all of the sudden the boys realize, "Hey, I've got to look cool here! These pull-ups are crampin' my style!"

Sarah said...

Okay, I love that shirt!! So cute. Where do you shop?? I love the clothes you pick out :)
Preston is so cute and way to go on using the potty! He needs to come talk to Will and teach him a thing or two!!
How much fun getting ready for the wedding!! Sounds like she has the perfect place, how exciting. I hope we get to see pics :)

Wedding planning is so much fun! We are planning my sister's wedding right now and that is the way it is. Everything is seperate, you need a different vendor for every aspect. Which is kind of cool because you get to pick exactly what you like. Anyway, as always Preston is adorable! That shirt is too cute!

Catie said...

Ooops, sorry! My computer geeked out and somehow posted my comment three times!

Danielle said...

I love Preston's shirt - that's awesome. How cool to have your sister's wedding in VA, that's perfect! And I'm glad that Preston is getting better with the potty...it is such a frustrating time, but once it's all done-you will be in heaven!

Oh man! We ALL need that shirt! I even pointed it out to the hubby when you posted it! I was showing him how stinking cute Preston was and then I read his shirt and thought...Cole must have!!!

Lisa said...

So, you're going to have to share where you got the shirt from. A few of us have these cute girlie pjs that say: best things in small packages, (from Target) but I love that shirt too!

Melissa Swartley said...

Love that shirt!!!!! I am going to have to get it for Sonya and put it aside until she is a little bit bigger, she's still wearing 3-6 months. Way to go on the potty Preston!

I had a lot of fun with you girls at the bridal show. Once I get a spare moment I will write the respective BLOGs and post Maeve's pics.

I'm excited that we have a date and place! Now I've got to work on this dress thing. And dad is totally out of control. I think he's enjoying planning it like as if he's the bride. It's really cute.
