The third part of our 3.5 week vacation was Greg and Stephanie's wedding. It was really beautiful. It was held at Bristol Harbour on Canandaigua Lake, and we had such a wonderful time. The view was spectacular
and the food was amazing. Do you really need anything else? The best part, however, was Jack and Madelyn, the Ring Bear(er) and Flower Girl. They were completely adorable. Daddy was the Best Man, and he looked nice, too, but not as good as the little ones. Maybe I'm partial, though. Jackson was convinced that he was not the Ring BearER, but just the Ring Bear. To that end, the rings were not tied to the traditional pillow but to the pillow on a Boyd's Bears Ring Bearer bear. It was really adorable, but I think it may have solidified the bear thing in his mind. Actually, I was rather nervous because the morning of the wedding he told me he could not wear his wedding clothes,
which Nona had painstakingly sewn herself (including tea-dying the stark white shirt to ivory!), because it didn't "have eyes and bears have eyes." We did overcome that glitch somehow, and everything went off perfectly albeit a little slowly. There is a small decline on the way down to the wedding area, and at the rehearsal I watched them run down that hill the first time they tried it. So after that, we made several trips walking very sloooowly down the hill. I could just see someone running down the hill in new and slippery shoes, taking a header, and needing bandaids and boo boo bears at the
beginning of the ceremony. They both listened VERY well, though, and Jack can still tell you that you walk slooowly down the aisle. Luckily, Aunt Steph didn't mind at all.
