CONGRATULATION WILL & CAIT!!!
"The Great Elope"
Will and Cait had their long awaited "official" wedding this past weekend. They took off to Vegas 2 years ago before Will's deployment to Iraq for "The Great Elope" before he left. The rehearsal dinner was held at Ben and Susan's house with a "southern" theme. Susan did a beautiful job with all the decorations and the food was awesome-who does not like southern food?! To carry on the theme, all the Boys wore bow ties and looked so charming : )
Ben and Connor stayed back at the hotel with sitters. After the dinner the boys went out and then all shared a hotel room together. I think the sleeping arrangements were something like Stu, Ben and Sam got the bed (in their whitie tighties). Will got the floor and Drew managed to get the pull out couch all to himself because he was smart enough to check for one.
The wedding was held on Fort Monroe and was short and sweet (love it like that). They did the Saber Arch which is always cute to see.
Then the reception was back at the hotel and the party began! Totally one of the most fun reception that I have been to. Will and the brothers brought the house down the last hour when they confiscated the mic from the DJ (who did a great job) and took over. That brought lots of laughs.
Ben and Connor made their individual appearances. My parents had come up and baby sat for the day and evening since it was a three day weekend it worked out great. All except for their timing belt going out at the worst time on their trip up. Thankfully AAA took care of them and they made it just in time for all of the picture taking before the wedding.
Here is were Ben played most of the time while at the reception:
After about 10 mins boogie-ing on the dance floor he was off to bigger and better things. He could of stayed all night and partied with the rest of the kids but grandpa came and took him. I think he was looking for wedding cake but he said that they drove that whole way to baby sit so they wanted Ben back upstairs.
I don't blame them :)
Sunday it was sadly all over and we headed back to or house. Of course made a quick stop at the outlets in Williamsburg. The best thing of all was that Connor (who is nothing like Ben was) slept the whole way home without a peep! LOVE HIM :) We were so tired we didn't do anything with my parents no cards or games so we went to bed - since we don't have TV to watch or any good movies. We got up Monday. Ben had an early meeting with a recruit and the rest of us went to a nice breakfast and then my parents headed back and I was left with the kids for another week of stay-at-home-momming.
Thanks to Will and Cait for the great festivities and And a big thanks to my parents for driving 9+ hours to baby sit the grand kids! I love you!
