So, way back when I asked my doctor about traveling to Montana for the wedding he said no way that I need to stay local. At first I was a little nervous to disobey "orders" and figured we would wait and see what happens. Then when we got a little closer to the date I asked again and he told me "absolutely not" so then I was bummed and told everyone that it didn't look like it was going to happen. I kept thinking about how much it would suck to not be able to go to the wedding and to the lake for that matter. This would have been the first year in like 15 that I haven't gone up there for vacation, and how many times does your only brother get married?! A few weeks before the wedding Jamie sent me their engagement pictures and I cried...
How could I not cry?! Hormones or not!!! All of the pictures were so beautiful, Claire Reitz did an AMAZING job on them.
Then like 2 weeks before their wedding day I heard this song on my iPod (from our own wedding) and I started crying my eyes out.
Aaaaaand a couple days after that (literally 1 week before the wedding date) Ryan and I went to grab some dinner and he said it was going to suck not being at the wedding and I got all sad again. We were like should we just go??? I had been feeling great, so sign of baby being anywhere close to making her arrival so we decided to say screw it and we bought our tickets!!!
To say that I was happy about going was a complete understatement. We definitely surprised a lot of people by showing up (mostly my parents) but I am so glad that we were there! It was nice to get out of the freaking desert and the wedding was amazing!
This picture seems so sweet to me. I know that Jamie means the world to my brother and for some reason I can really see it in this one...
WEDDING DAY...
Jeffrey and Jamie were beautiful! The wedding was awesome and couldn't have been in a better location with a more perfect background. I am so happy for you both and I wish you a lifetime of success, happiness and love! I love you both so much!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Oh, I'm so glad you went with your gut and went to the wedding! I love doctors, but they do have to err on the side of caution and obviously it worked out fine for you to travel. And those pictures are beautiful - I love her wedding dress!!
