Today is the day and what a day it was! It was so very worth the trip to New Orleans. Ian was married once before and this wedding was so different from the first. The first time around Ian seemed more “along for the ride.” This time, you could tell that Ian was truly happy and that Amanda is “his lobster.” (See the “Friends reference there? I watched that episode recently and it really fits here.) Congratulations Ian and Amanda and we wish you many, many years of happiness! Marriage isn’t always easy, but something tells me that when it gets tough, you’ll make it to the other side and you’ll be stronger together than you were before. We love you both! Now, on to pictures….
The wedding ceremony was short and straight to the point. It was beautiful and Ian and Amanda were both teary-eyed. It was amazing to watch it all. We couldn’t be happier for them!
It’s nights like tonight that remind me that Andy and I have a great marriage. Marriage is work, but it’s a great job. We’ve had our rough spots, but we’ve made it through. There is simply no one that I would rather work with. We have a great life, a great family, and we’ll be there together 30 years from now.
It was great to see the brothers again. I love these men!
While Laura didn’t catch the bouquet, it did come home with us! The person who caught it thought that our beautiful little redhead needed it. “New” Aunt Amanda agreed!
In case you were wondering, John had a whole lot of fun too. Despite a rocky start because he fell asleep in the car on the way to the wedding, he was at full go by the end of the night. I think his favorite part was playing with Uncle Scot… Or maybe cake. I’m not sure which!
It was great to see everyone and we really enjoyed ourselves. Welcome to the family Amanda Dinsmor! We are so thrilled to call you our Sister-in-Law!
