Summer wedding

The happy bride and sad groom.
notice the taped on flower..and that awesome combed hairdo

While Hayden and Halley were staying with us, Oliver decided that he wanted to marry Hayden. So he did'nt ask her, he told her they were getting married. Well Oliver and the girls went strait to work to plan the big wedding that would take place in only a few hours or less. Oliver went and put on his suit and tie and even went as far as going out in the yard and finding a flower to tape to his suit jacket. Then the girls all picked out their outfits and gathered flowers to make Haydens bouquet. They grabbed a rug that I keep under the sink and used it to make an aisle for Hayden to walk down and decided what everyones job would be. Halley was the priest or judge that would marry them, Senekah was a bridesmaid, Izzy was the flower girl, Soyer was the ring bearer, and Scott and I were the guests. So Hayden came down the stairs while the kids hummed "here comes the bride" and Oliver waited for her with a big smile on his face. Halley asked if they wanted to marry each other and then announced that they were married, and then Izzy threw flower pedals as the new bride and groom walked off.
Then on to the couples first dance, which took place in the kitchen and the song was "fernando" by ABBA. Hayden spun Oliver around and they danced the whole song. When it was over Oliver fell onto the floor crying because he realized that Scott and I had not dressed up for the occasion. Needless to say, we hurried and got dressed for the reception.

The reception took place in the back yard on the trampoline where Hayden and Oliver did a "cake bite exchange" which was really wontons but we called it cake. And then Hayden threw her bouquet off of the top of the playset for the girls to catch. And that ended our big wedding for the night.

Then later Oliver told me that he didnt want to be married to Hayden anymore, and that next he would marry Sidney. So it didnt last long but it was AWESOME. I love the imagination of kids, little and big. And im happy that I now have a blog so that I can remember this funny night forever.

  1. I am trying to laugh silently because Avie is napping. But hello, that's hilarious!! ! I love the "fernando' song to go with it! How cute are all your kids and Kath's to go along? Wouldn't it be nice if it were that easy to say "I don't want to be married to this person anymore, I want to be married to this one!" :)
