Kaitlan's Wedding! and 30 Days Of Thanks ~ #7 ~ 31 YEARS!

Debbie and I headed to Columbus this weekend, with Sarah and Molly, for my niece Kaitlan's wedding to Clinton Claycamp! Yes, say that fast 3 times!! Bet you can't!! We stayed at the Drury Inn and the girls thought it fabulous! Molly and Sarah were asked to be flower girls, and I was asked to be the Matron Of Honor.

Here is a shot of Sarah and Molly, enjoying the suite at the Inn! They were tired from Rehearsal Dinner activities~
They thought it was so fun to stay at the "Hatel", as Molly kept calling it!
Saturday morning it was time for hair appointments... Sarah was first!
Frankie was next to Sarah having her hair done too!
Molly worked on some art work while she waited!
She also enjoyed being with YaYa!
Sarah looked so cute when her hair was finished!
Sarah got busy drawing and made a great picture of Katie, Michael, Molly and herself ~ all of the kids in the wedding! Kaitlan loved it! She took a break from having her hair done to pose with Sarah for a picture!
Katie, Kaitlan's cousin, was the cutest Junior Bridesmaid! She was so excited to be in the wedding!
Frankie, getting the royal treatment, as mother of the bride!
Make up... let's hope it's water proof!!
Molly finally gets her turn with Jennifer!
Sarah's turn to wait...
Sarah held her arms out to Molly and said... " Oh look how cute you look Molly!" She was so proud of her little sister when Molly's hair was all curled!
We got dressed and headed to the ceremony site! Here the girls sit patiently waiting to see their bride!
Molly, Sarah, Katie and Michael... Don't they look so cute?
Kaitlan greets her little Flower Girls! Smiles all around! Kaitlan was a beautiful bride!
Katie, Sarah and Molly...
My little gems thought she was so pretty too!
Katie watched the girls sing on the stage before the ceremony! A few rounds of "Sticky, Sticky, Bubblegum!"
Sarah was such a good big sister!
Frankie and I before the ceremony! We discovered Kaitlan had something new, something borrowed, and something blue, BUT forgot something OLD! I reminded her that she did have something OLD.... ME!! An Old Matron Of Honor!! We all got a good laugh at that one!
Keeping the girls calm... more waiting! It is almost time for the really big show!! THE WEDDING!
Beckie and Donny arrived and I gave Beckie my camera! She took some great shots! Frankie and Sandy, after lighting the family candles.
Here are the groom's brother, Eric and I....
The flower girls begin down the aisle!
They concentrate so hard at dropping the rose pedals on the ground!

A hug for her Dad!
A great shot through Frankie and Tom! Nice work Beckie!
Oh what's this....
Just a few shots of Molly... being Molly!!
Remember the tongue twister at the start of this post? The minister made an oops and called Clinton, Klayton! Our bride thought it was very funny!!
Sarah caught Mommy's attention this time!
Unity Candle...
Or is Beckie photographing Molly again?
Clinton... you may kiss your bride!
Mr. & Mrs. Clinton and Kaitlan Claycamp!
Just look at how he adores his new wife!
At the reception, I took the camera back and captured Molly enjoying time with her Uncle Danny, who she adores with all her heart!
He loves her too!
The kids lined up on the dance floor's edge for the bride and groom's first dance together! Katie, Molly, Sarah and Lillian!
Little girls dream of the day this will happen to them!
So awesome!

Uncle Danny stepped right in and saved the day! Katie dances with Molly. They did not leave the dance floor all night! Tiny Dancers!!
"We are family... I have all my sisters with me!" Sang this song and posed together with my sisters... Jeannie, Frankie, RoseAnn, me, and Patty!
Katilan's brother Joey took a turn with Sarah too!
So much fun!
Frankie's good friend from Dallas... Lynn Becker, ruling the dance floor! Lynn and Cathy Lacy are as beautiful as ever and I loved spending time with them again! I am so sorry I did not get a picture of Cathy. So glad they made the trip from Texas to be here!
Frankie was thrilled to have them here too!
We had a great time at the wedding! The party moved to Frankie and Tom's house afterwards! Debbie... thanks so much for being my DATE for the wedding! Dave just doesn't know what he missed!!

I will say... I missed you Dave, during the Anniversary Dance! The song was Remember When, our favorite! We would not have won ~ our 31 years together would have lost to Clinton's grandparents who have been married 50 years!!

I am thankful for our 31 years... Our anniversary was October 13th!

I love you Dave!
