We were fortunate to be able to go to Chicago this past weekend for Ryan and Nicole's (long-awaited!) wedding. It was a beautiful wedding at Holy Family parish close to downtown. This is a special couple and we've been so happy to have them around in Dallas the past few years. We were very proud of little Michael (listed in the program as "Godson of the Groom" :) as he did a great job this time around in his job as ring bearer. At Dan and Kelly's wedding in September, the poor guy was much more intimidated by everything and burst into tears. This time he walked carefully down the aisle like we practiced and gave Uncle Ryan the pillow. Malcolm made it mostly through the Mass without a repeat of the meltdown from Theresa's wedding, and only one near attempt to rush the altar :) Also: Michael had no potty accidents all weekend, so things were good all around!
I don't have any pictures from the actual wedding, where the boys required a lot of attention even with parental assistance. Still, we did get some fun pictures on Sunday taking trips around to the Bolingbrook fair, Nikki's dad's barbecue restaurant, and a few other destinations.
