Life of a Mother: Macee is Married!!!!! Wedding 1 of 2 for this Family!

That's right - Macee got married. She is the middle sister - just 3 years younger than me. Also the "one with my nephew" as some people describe her! lol (when your sister's look so much a like it's the easy way my friends discern who is who!)

Macee and Craig got engaged just earlier this year, when he flew her to Cali for an impromptu visit and surprised her with a gorgeous ring on La Jolla beach! My Aunt Trish captured their GORGEOUSness for their engagement photos and Wedding photos as well.

They have been together for what feels like forever and were building a house (which is done and also Gorgeous -- I think Gorgeousness just follows them!) - so naturally we all wondered WHEN would they decide to tie the knot. We didn't expect it to be so soon after being engaged but.....

We threw them a couples Bar shower and Macee had her Bachelorette party in July (yes I braved the nightlife and stayed out til 1 am in my heels!) Some photos of each below....

The wedding was in Colorado - Avon, Co (which is pretty much Beaver Creek/Bachelor Gulch - just outside of Vail!) It was absolutely gorgeous (sensing a trend here!?!?) there and the weather was a welcome from the heat of Texas. Justin, Trevor and I decided to drive as 3 plane tickets just wasn't in the budget. We stopped in Raton, NM on the way there and Dalhart, TX on the way back. Trevor will tell you his favorite part of the trip was staying in the hotels (why I have no idea!) We stayed there for 3 days and took time to visit Vail, Colorado Springs and the great sights around town.

My Parents rented this nice "4 story" town home for us. So I got to spend time with my Grandmama, Uncle Willie and Aunt Peggy (all whom I rarely see) as well as experience a nice place to relax!

The wedding was fabulous! (I didn't say gorgeous this time ;) ) Macee looked beautiful as ever, Sarah was the MOH and Craig's Dad was BM. Craig's brother officiated, while Trevor and Craig's nieces served as ring bearer and flower girls. Trevor had a sweet connection to Finley (same age) and she tried really hard to keep him happy at the rehearsal dinner and reception! I read a scripture from the Bible and a poem I found online about "hands." I was my typical self and began to cry half way thru the reading as I just thought of the symbolism it possessed for each one there - and that I truly want this to be my sister's forever -- that I hope he does/treats her as she should be! In my head my sister's have frozen at age 15/18 for me. It's hard to see them all grown up and adults! Not sure how I'll react when they each have a child!

All in all it was a gorgeous (lol) beautiful affair! True Macee fashion! Click on the links above to see my FABULOUS Aunt's photos.....mine are below!
