GT's youngest brother, Garrett, got married at the end of May.
We are so thrilled that Cristie is officially part of the family! She is fun, beautiful, kind, laid-back, generous, always up for anything, a huge helper, and she loves and appreciates Garrett- winner!
the wedding was at the Four Season Dallas and we spent the weekend loving on family and celebrating Garrett and Cristie!
my little family arrived Thursday night and my parents were already there, so we had friday to just relax before everyone else arrived.
the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner were Friday evening
and when we got to see everyone!
cutest little ringbearer and flower girl
Taylor kids
Saturday morning, us girls attended the sweetest bridesmaid luncheon hosted by Cristies aunt
not only was the room and decor beautiful, but the words spoken were tender and incredibly sweet
i love these shots of Ruth, Cristies mom, speaking.
her beautiful words brought on equal amounts of laughs and tears.
they have such a special relationship that was so clear for us all to see
the rest of the day was spent by the pool, taking naps, and playing in the grandparents rooms.
That night, there was a Boots & Blazers welcome party for everyone in town for the wedding
and Judson was so pumped
he spent the entirety of the evening out on the lawn roping
it was super fun having our friends with us, too!
i wish that i had more pictures of Garrett and Cristie- and more with the whole family, but it just didn't happen.
the wedding was Sunday evening!
that morning, we had a church service at the hotel for everyone staying there (about 100 people!) and it was awesome.
Then we had more time at the pool, naps(!), then getting ready for the wedding
the boys were the ring bearers and actually did pretty good.
Judson did great during the rehearsal, but froze at the ceremony
he hates being the center of attention, so when they opened the door and he saw a couple hundred faces looking at him-he bolted.
after begging him to follow the other three down the aisle, he wouldn't budge.
so, i did what all good mothers do. i said if he walked down the aisle i'd buy him a big ninja turtle.
he turned around and ran to his uncle Garrett.
i mean, i'm not proud- but he did it.
Townes and Gracie were given suckers right before they walked down, so they went no problem at all. i'm sure the pictures are entertaining
Cristie was stunning!
hopefully I can link to the professional pics eventually so you can see more of her amazing dress and the jaw-dropping venue.
sweet sisters
i only had brothers growing up, so I am loving that these awesome girls are my sisters!
all of the Taylor kiddos
the best family photo we managed...
and i could not get enough of these handsome guys
all the heart eyes
Judson's behavior was on par for him at the reception
he preferred to stand to the side and watch all of the other kids (including his hilarious brother) dance and run around on the dance floor
the iphone quality is far from good, but you get the idea of how cute the little bitties were
and my parents and brother came, too!
along with lots of other friends and family
we had the best time at the reception celebrating Garrett and Cristie!
the band was phenomenal and i think we could've danced all night.
if you can view it, click here to see a cute little video of the bride and groom from the photobooth.
probably my favorite wedding reception ever.
the whole weekend was wonderful.
we were able to spend some time with all of the family and our good friends.
The boys loved the hotel and the pool, even having little picnics in our hotel room.
the hotel had little robes for the boys!
before we left town on Monday, we were able to meet my girls and my brother for brunch at Breadwinners (our favorite)
after a weekend with our family and friends, we are always so full of gratitude for the relationships we have. Adding another Taylor is just the icing on the cake!
