Wedding details

I know it's been a while since my last post and we have had a lot going on. I just haven't taken the time to write about it. It's strange to me that I'm deciding to do it now since I have a paper for my international business class due in 3 hours and I haven't finished it yet. Maybe this will help with new ideas.
Anyway, we went to Coleman (LaDonna's sister) and Darren's wedding the last weekend in July. They got married at the beach and Lonna and Bryce were in the wedding. Lonna was the flower girl and Bryce was the ring bearer, although he was not trusted with the real rings. There are numerous pictures on our Picasa site (there is a link on the right side of the blog). Some of the pictures are pretty funny and a couple that seem to be favorites are:

1. Lonna's thumbs up to LaDonna. We're not sure if she was letting us know that she was okay, or if the wedding was proceeding correctly, or if she was telling LaDonna that she had completed her task successfully.

2. Bryce with the ring bearer pillow under his chin. This just points out the obvious. Boys that are two years old should not be trusted with the real rings at a wedding and two year old boys get bored standing in one place for a period of more than three minutes.

We are very proud that Lonna and Bryce did so well. They didn't act up, they did everything that was asked of them and they looked adorable doing it.
During the wedding, I was “watching” the kids while LaDonna ran to the car for something. After a few minutes I decided I should probably check to see where each child was. I found Bryce in the same general area he was 10 minutes ago when LaDonna left. But, I couldn't find Lonna anywhere in the grass area where they had been playing. I looked and looked and finally looked on the dance floor and she and Coleman were dancing. After the dance I asked Coleman what the deal was and she said she was talking to some guests and Lonna came up to her and told her that she wanted to dance. So, her and Coleman went out and danced. It was very cute.
If you look at the pictures, you'll see at the end that eventually a number of people ended up going swimming. All the groomsmen went first, then the groom, the Jack (Coleman's dad), then I think Coleman and a few of the bridesmaids, then Mary (Coleman's mom). Mary talked me into jumping in towards the end as well.
Anyway, enjoy the pictures and I'll write more about the beach pictures soon.
p.s. I just went to post this blog entry from word into blogger and blogger is currenly down. So, it's not always my fault I can't post.
