A Burgess Wedding

Today is a very exciting day because Aunt B and Uncle C are getting married!  

They choose to have the ceremony in their back yard and it seemed like Bailie spend every minute of the past 9 months planning it.  Guests were greeted with a sign indicating where to go.


The backyard was decorated with special touches like oversized flowers, a quilt with their initials, little flags, potted plants, etc…


Curtis, his sister and some friends even made a back drop for the ceremony.


The boys wanted to look their best for the big day so they decided to take a bath is MeMama’s big tub.  


It was their first bath together and it appears they both had lots of fun.


Soon the boys had to clear out because the ladies were all coming over to get ready.  

We all go our hair and make-up done.  All the girls had fun little touches in their hair.  I got a little flower and mushroom.


Bailie gave everyone their bridesmaid’s gift…. a handpainted figurine of each girl.  Mine also had the boys, Brie and Madie.  

We took a few pictures before the ceremony…
Before we hid the bride away until the ceremony could start.  Colin and the boys came by to hang out since it was so hot outside.

We finished getting Bailie ready because it time to go!


After all Curtis was waiting!

When we got to the house everyone was ready (including Felix).
Curtis’ mom Shelley and Pat walked down together.

Then came the bridesmaids and groomsmen.  And then the boys.

Carter wasn’t too excited about riding in the wagon so Parker went solo…

Carter decided he would rather walk and did so directly into mom’s legs…

After a quick discussion that he would have more fun sitting with dad than standing in the sun, he was off.
Parker, on the other hand, was a hit in the wagon.  He held on tight and smiled the whole way.

Here is a quick picture so you can see what all the bridesmaids wore.


In Colorado, you can marry yourselves without a witness so Bailie and Cusrtis did that.  They then asked Reid, Melissa (Curtis’ Sister) and me to perform the ceremony.


They wrote it themselves and it was very sweet.  Reid got the honors of pronouncing them Husband and Wife!

They were so happy…

And thankful to everyone for braving the heat!


After another quick walk down the aisle with my brother, we were off to the post-wedding party.
