I thought I'd share some pictures from the wedding Tessa, Arminda, and Lydia were in yesterday. I didn't get a good picture of Arminda, so hopefully Teresa has one. We bought the flower girl dresses off of ebay (at the bride's request). They were pure junk! 3 out of the 5 dresses were ripping apart by the end of the reception and several were ripped BEFORE the reception. All of the embellishments fell off of Tessa's. I had to resew all the buttons onto her dress before she even wore it. The wedding was...interesting....
The mother of the groom was in charge and made the wedding all about her and her son. It was as if they were the ones getting married. She even sang a song during the ceremony about how he's getting married, but he still belongs to her. CREEPY!! She practically pushed the bride and her father out of the way so she could do the mother/son dance FIRST at the reception. She proceeded to look up romantically into her sons eyes as she pressed herself against him. I wish I would have gotten a picture of that, but I was too appalled. I could go on and on about this woman. But, I just feel really bad for Teresa's niece (the bride). I don't think she has a clue what she has just gotten herself into.
But, at least the girls looked cute!
Tessa had a bit of "stranger anxiety" during the wedding. Here's what her face looked like throughout the ceremony. She kept holding her arms out to me. So, I finally just waved for her to come and sit on my lap, where she proceeded to cry. The poor thing. But, first I snapped a picture of her face because I'm mean.
The mother of the groom made her squat for all of the pictures and she was getting tired, so this is what she did in the last few:
Here's my little flower boy. He felt it was his job to go and pick up all of the flower petals and put them back in the basket after the wedding. He likes things to be in order!
Here's Teresa's DH, Brian, dancing to "Play That Funky Music White Boy" with the flower girls at the wedding. How sweet is he?
