Birthday Weekend / Adam and Krista's wedding

2012-08-19 23:47:35 • by Leanne Verkley

This weekend was a busy one.  
Brian arrived in Toronto on Friday after being in Chicago for a week at the same time as his sister Lisa and brother in law Jeff came in from Nova Scotia.
So they drove Brian to our house where we spent the morning with them and then we enjoyed lunch together and some time at the property.
Then it was off to Atwood where we would practice with Hadley her duties of being a flower girl for Adam and Krista's wedding which would take place the next day at Ed and Nora's Farm.  As always when we go out there it is cool to watch Brian show the kids things from when he was growing up there.
This time it was cool to watch Lisa, Brian and Julie swing on the swing-set that got new seats that very morning.  Then our kids also spent time on the swing-set version 2.0.  I heard that Brian's cousin Steven was not ready to let go of the seats because they were the originals from when they were all kids on the farm so they are in the shed at least for now.  
Saturday (my birthday), we woke up and Brian took Easton for the day while I took Hadley.
We had hair, make up, and photos all before the wedding.  Hadley received a gorgeous necklace and tiara from Krista.  
Hadley showed off her cuteness as she pulled Krista's nephew Connor down the aisle in a wagon.
She was beautiful in her white dress with blue sash, necklace and tiara.  What a princess!
Easton also looked quite handsome in his pinstripes, suspenders, vest and shinny shoes.  
She was also a trooper through all the photos.
The kids were glad when dinner and speeches were through as they were ready to party!
They stayed up dancing the night away.  Easton tried to hold on until the end but only managed to make it until 11:30pm.  Hadley however made it right until 1am.
Everyone loved watching both kids dance!
I was surprised when the DJ played Happy Birthday for me and everyone on the dancefloor sang to me.
If you count wedding cake, I even had cake on my birthday.
Adam and Krista sure know how to throw a 34th birthday party!
It was a fantastic day and I couldn't be happier for them.  What a beautiful couple.  
We were honoured to be part of their day.
Special best wishes go out to my cousin Dustin and his new bride Rachel who got married the same day.  It was unfortunate that we couldn't make it to both weddings but I am quite happy for them also and am very glad for facebook to see the photos and videos from their day.
