Here Comes the Flower Girls

We had a spectaular weekend! Below will be tons of photos from the wedding which was lovely in all ways. Aunt Kim was lovely (so was the recently dubbed UNCLE Mike), the weather was beyond lovely and nearly everything came off without a hitch.
Hannah and Elizabeth were very excited and not happy about how long it was taking to get to the rehearsal on Friday, but those of you who know Rob will understand that a stop of the White Castle in Nyack was mandatory. Luckily we had plenty of time, so Bob could linger over his WC burgers. I ate two chicken rings and had had enough. We got back in the car and then spent about another hour on the Merritt Parking Lot getting to Trumbull.

The best news for Hannah and Liz was that we got there early enough to squeeze in a Happy Meal and they had a DIFFERENT toy than the toys currently being included in Pennsylvania (not that we go to McDonalds every week or anything.)

The rehearsal went fine. I had some issues with my reading, which, though ostensibly English did not make sense to me. (Don't worry Mom, it wasn't anything from the Bible.) But, trouper that I am, I read it as written and no one seemed to think it was wrong (because they were looking at the beautiful bride and groom and not listening to me.)

And really the only Rasmussen glitch on the Wedding Day was when, during a quiet moment of reflection during communion, Hannah asked (really loudly, of course) "WHY ARE THEY EATING THOSE CRACKERS!!

Seriously, Rob needs to start taking them to church... :)

Okay, here are the pictures.Above is Sara Platz (Bride's Mom) putting the finishing touches on Hannah's sash. In the background you can see the train of Kim's dress.


The girls (and ring bearer Tanner, right; and special usher Tyler -- Kim's nephews) get some instructions from the photographer. Aren't they all adorable???


Hannah twirling around Sara's kitchen before we went over to the ceremony (Tanner did one or two twirls of his own -- but it's just different when you're wearing a dress!!)One of my favorite pictures. The kids are sitting on Sara's front stoop before the wedding, playing with gameboys (or something of that ilk) and not looking at all weddingly.


After the ceremony Lizzie had a few questions for the minister!


And then for Aunt Kim!

Here's what the girls think about love and marriage after being in the wedding.

Hannah says that once you are in love and get married you can hug a lot and play games whenever you want.

Lizzie says that once you are married you get a ring and kiss all the time, like even right now, and then she doesn't know what happens because she is not married.

We spent the weekend with TA, Ann and family and I have some cute photos from that, too, which I'll post later in the week.
