Ring Bearer

Peyton had the huge pleasure of recently being a ring bearer in one of my best friend Kristen's wedding. Kristen married Ian in Austin at the end of September and their wedding was so much fun. It was so intimate and personalized to the two of them. Peyton was a ring bearer and I was a bridesmaid. Marshall titled himself "Ring bearer Wrangler" and Mallory thoroughly enjoyed the wedding cake :)


I met Kristen in 2nd grade when she asked me to play paper dolls and we have been friends ever since. It was so special to see my child walk down the aisle right before she did :) She is also an amazing "Aunt" to my children and we all love Ian too.

Pouty Pants!

"I am looking for Gigi! And aren't I cute in my seer sucker suit?"

"Hmmm. Why is Gigi sitting over there?"

At this point Peyton started talking, loudly, and The Ring bearer Wrangler escorted him out of the ceremony :)

Here are some pictures from the day.Peyton had the MOST fun of his life drumming along with the wedding band. He drummed so hard he broke his cake plate, in fact, he was so interested in drumming that he didn't even eat his cake. Kristen gave us a CD of some of the wedding songs and we now listen to it nonstop. This 3-year-old knows some oldies but goodies and has acquired Kristen and Ian's music taste! He calls the song "Be My Baby" his wedding song (since he first heard it at the wedding) and must listen to it whenever we are in the car. He now keeps a pair of drumsticks in the car and plays along on his lap.

Here he is drumming with forks on his cake plate. And this is SUCH a Marshall face!

"This is fun and all Gigi, but what does a girl need to do to get some more cake?"

It is so much fun to have a mini-mere!



The Flight of the Pillow
Peyton found himself on a balcony after the ceremony. We were taking wedding party pictures down below.

"Hmmm, this could be a lot of fun........."

"Yup! We dont need this old pillow anymore. This should spice things up."

Ring Bearer Wrangler to the rescue.

"Now Peyton, it isn't nice to throw your special ringbearer pillow off of a balcony onto unsuspecting wedding guests."

I was just relieved that only the pillow came over the balcony!



Thank you Kristen and Ian for letting us ALL be part of your special day! We had a great time celebrating you! Especially Mallory who went to sleep and woke up the next morning smelling like a giant piece of wedding cake. :)
