My sister's wedding

My little sister got married today. I am so excited for her. What a day! I will tell you this, I almost passed out while standing in front of the church, next to the bride, my sister. I have stood up in many weddings, and this feeling was defintely a first for me. I was one of the matron of honors, my older sister Abby was the other one. And it had been a crazy day leading up to the wedding. The day started early in preparation for the wedding. I had to get everything ready for myself and my 2 kids. Then I had to get my hair done and my nails done. In the busyness, I didn't eat lunch, and barely drank anything all day. At thc church, it was really hot at the church, and since it was only May 5th they didn't see the need for air conditioning at the church. Then I was wearing high heels that were a 1/2 size too small for me. You see, when I was shoe shopping for the wedding I did it by myself. And I decided to text my sister Aubrey to get her opinion. The only criteria she gave for us is that the shoes were too be white. Other than that we could get any style we wanted. Being indecisive I decided to text Aubrey some pictures of the shoes I was thinking about getting. The third shoe I texted her she loved, and she told me to get her a pair as well in size 10. The shoes she originally got for her wedding did not fit well. I made sure she was okay with us wearing the same shoes on her wedding day. She said that was fine. But off course I wear a size 10 shoe as well, and they only had 1 size 10. I had the salesperson call nearby stores, but no one had size 10 in that style. By now I had fallen in love with the shoe, so I decided I would squeeze my foot into a 9 1/2 shoe in the name of fashion. So the pain my shoes were giving me did not help me. All of that almost made me pass out. My mom noticed it during the ceremony and motioned for me to sit down, but I stood my ground and di not want to make a scene of any kind by passing out, sitting down, or walking out. Thankfully my sister's ceremony was rather short, about 24 minutes, and I survived the weddding without passing out. Zander was the ring bearer for the wedding. He did a great job! And the wedding reception was wonderful. Aubrey and Keith had a live band at their wedding reception. Congratulations to Keith and Aubrey. The bride and groom, aren't they cute!
