Best Kid Wedding Ever

My cousin, Michelle, got married this past weekend on a dinner cruise (not sure if that is the technical name for it) out of Clearwater.  While it was a beautiful wedding for a lovely couple, I have to say it was also ideal for kids.  Michelle told me ahead of time that she planned it with kids in mind, since there would be plenty of them there, and to feel free to bring them.  We hesitated in bringing Elijah, but we knew Josiah would love being on the boat.  In the end, we decided to bring them both and they did great.

Beautiful bride!

We, of course, headed to the top deck after the wedding while we waited for the meal to be served.  Josiah had a blast!

Handsomeness!

More handsomeness!

  There was a big speedboat race that day, so there was plenty of activity to watch.  Elijah was enthralled by the barge crane, too.

Josiah did a lot of what he likes to do most – run!

    Josiah had fun playing with a few distant cousins he’d never met.  I just missed the picture of him looking like he was proposing while showing her something on bent knee.  It was cute!

Some speedboats: My dad used to be a STIHL dealer. The kids loved watching all the activity…then they were off and running again!

Though not a great pic of me (it is the only one), this is the beautiful couple.

Grandmother of the bride.  We all love her dearly!

  While Josiah made one last trip to the top deck with Grandpa, Elijah stole his seat and happily played with his toys.  He just kept smiling.  It was so cute!

Now, a few days later, Josiah is still talking about going back to “that boat someday”.  I told him we probably wouldn’t be going back to that boat, but maybe we’d do something.  He said “maybe a little boat” while pinching his fingers close together.  Yep, maybe we’ll go on our little boat soon :)

We wish Michelle and Preston a happy marriage!
