Mary Clare and Pete Get Married!

Our favorite nanny, Mary Clare, married her boyfriend "Mr. Pete" and Quinn was asked to be the flower girl.  It was such a fun wedding.  Not only because Quinn was a part of it but because Mary Clare is the little sister of one of my best friends and I have known her since she was a toddler.

Quinn was very hesitant the night of the rehearsal dinner so I was worried she wouldn't participate on the wedding day but she quickly warmed up to the idea when she was included in hair and make up in the bridal suite on Saturday morning.  She LOVED being with Mary Clare and all of her bridesmaids and affectionately referred to them as her "friends."  She stalked them the rest of the day and even pushed me out of the bridal room at the church to hang out with the wedding party and ride with them in the party bus on the way to pictures.  She was made for her girly role as flower girl and was the prettiest flower girl I've ever seen.

 The kids came to the reception with us just long enough to eat dinner and lots of candy before my dad and Mary came to pick them up.  They spent the night at their house and Eric and I were able to stay downtown for the night.

 Fast forward and this little flower girl will be the bride dancing with her dad.

 Colleen and I have been best friends since grade school.  We were missing our other "Reed's Court friend", Tricia, but her parents were there.  Thought it was a good idea to snap a selfie with them in the background to send to Tricia in her absence.
