Paul and Hayley tie the knot: David the ringbearer and Jonah the tux-wearer

Uncle Paul and David during pictures before wedding

David's attempt to put his arm around Jonah for a picture:)  (Doesn't Jonah look handsome in his tux?)

Hayley gets a kiss from her ringbearer:)




 Paul and Hayley's wedding ceremony was beautiful!  Pastor Tom made it very personal, sharing Paul and Hayley's love story.  He also shared Christ's undying love for us and how He wants all of us to have a personal relationship with Him.  So sweet and TRUE!!!!  Hayley looked gorgeous and David's first words when he saw her were: "Mama, Mama, Mama, Hayley looks like an ANGEL!"  Paul couldn't keep his eyes off Hayley.  It was an honor to get to celebrate their special day with them. 

David was their ringbearer and he did a great job.  During rehearsal, he learned exactly what he was supposed to do: walk down the aisle with Julianne (flower girl), walk up the steps and stand by groomsmen Dave until Paul walked with Hayley up the steps, then he could come sit with me or Grammie and Grandpa. 

At rehearsal, there were no flower petals:)

So, during the ceremony, when Julianne eagerly started walking and throwing flower petals, David was completely perplexed.  He stopped to look at them, realized Julianne was WAY ahead of him, then he SPRINTED down the aisle and up the steps.  Pastor Tom was praying as David was coming back down the steps to sit with me and he called out, "Mama, WHY was Julianne SOWING (for David, "s" = "thr") fwower petals and why did Hayley STEP on them?"  Moral of the story: if you don't want your ringbearer to race down the aisle (which isn't at all a bad thing because it is so stinkin' cute), practice EXACTLY how it will be done during the ceremony:)

Jonah was such a handsome little guy in his tux.  He pooped all over it right before family pictures (before the wedding).  He was still cute:)  Paul and Hayley had a blast dancing the night away at their reception dance.  They were really fun to watch.  Paul did the worm.  Hayley danced to the entire song of "Thriller" (Amy--doesn't that make you happy?).  David paid $1 to dance with Hayley during the dollar dance and he was so excited.  Congratulations and God's blessing on your marriage Uncle Paul and Auntie Hayley!!!!

Hey, Anna, Your little boys are SO CUTE/HANDSOME in their wedding finery! And I got a big kick out of some of David's funny sayings. Kids can be a real hoot, that's for sure. Love, Aunt Laurel
