Our Frustrating Wedding Weekend

This past weekend, we attended Chad's cousin Amanda's wedding in Fargo. Maybe I was naive, but going to a wedding with a baby is SO MUCH HARDER than I thought it would be! The first problem was getting there. While it could have taken about 6 hours to get there, it took us 8 strictly because of stupid road construction. They actually had part of 94 closed near downtown which caused an hour delay. They narrowed 4 lanes down to 1, and then sent us in the complete opposite direction. I am still fuming as to how MnDoT thinks they can do that!! After the frustrating trip, we made it in time for pictures. I managed to get all 3 of us to match- even Chad went along with it! The ceremony was gorgeous. The weather was perfect, and of course, Amanda was stunning!! Unfortunately, Emily got antsy pretty quick so I had to take her inside and let her crawl around. Emily got a little nap on the way over to the hotel, where the reception was held. Emily spit up ALL OVER Chad, and he had to run over to Sears to buy a new shirt. Once we got to the hotel, she spit up all over herself, and then on me. She was certainly out of her element, which resulted in her and I wearing different outfits to the reception. The reception was beautiful!:

When the bride and the groom were introduced, they held up a sign that said "Two less fish in the sea", which was fitting since they are avid fisherman!:

We had dinner, we danced, and by 10pm, Emily was exhausted! I brought her up to our room, where she promptly had a 2nd wind! I think it was all the excitement of the day that made her NOT want to sleep. 

Also, she had gotten a glowstick from Auntie Jess and she would NOT let it go! I literally had to pry it from her hands so she could go to sleep. She woke up 3 times during the night (NOT typical at all) and then woke up an hour early (also not typical), so I was exhausted. It was really nice seeing Chad's family, but it was such a relief to get home again!
