Thursday we started decorating the church, and we finished on Friday. We started with the sanctuary (see previous post) and the gym (reception area) was filled with lights, completely done by my dad. We had goblets with flowers for the center pieces.
Friday night we had the rehearsal at church, and Emma did great being the flower girl. She had told me she was going to walk down by herself, but she let me come. I was the ring bearer, since the planned one couldn't make it. We had BBQ for dinner, and cupcakes for Daddy's birthday, which was on Friday. We definitely missed him this week.
Emma was a good helper...when we found jobs for her.
Andrew and his mom, Lynn.
Deborah! A bridesmaid, friend of Grace. (Sometimes Papa Mike calls Emma 'Deborah,' since she was calling everyone Papa Steve. So she was excited to meet a real Deborah.)
Dale (minister) and Andrew
Sisters, Tory (maid of honor) and Faith...who was filling in for the best man who couldn't be at the rehearsal.

She knew just what to do.
Our dad and Grace, my sister the bride
We were going to sit in the pew, but Emma wanted to be on stage...at least during the rehearsal.
Instead of a unity candle they
Tied the Knot.
They walked out to the ending song from Star Wars.
Cold, bottled root beer and yummy BBQ.
Emma enjoyed the cupcakes Grace bought to celebrate all the birthdays this week.
And then she made lots of silly faces for the camera.
