The Blatchly Wedding Week

June 25th - July 2nd

Dave & Colleen's wedding day was finally coming! It was time to get ready for the festivities - and being a bridesmaid means painted toenails, a rehearsal dinner and getting dressed up. We headed up to Vermont to get started. Friday, a week before the wedding, Colleen treated us bridesmaids to a pedicure ... I'm not one for these things, but enjoyed the girl time (and the surprise birthday ice cream cake!) at her camp.

Ready for those red shoes!

Charlie and I stayed in Vermont the whole next week while Aaron headed back to NH to work. I got a hair cut, had a birthday, a dress fitting/hemming, some tanning appointments, did some garage saling with Shelley and Mom and had a nice dinner with Kristy during that week! We also enjoyed the park one afternoon with Shelley, Tori and Trey. It was hot, but fun.

Aaron came back just in time for the rehearsal and dinner for the wedding. The rehearsal was a wet one, and the dinner was good (unlimited lobster for anyone ... I even took one of my own and ate a bit before I realized I don't really like it much).

The wedding day brought perfect weather. Us girls tied each other into our corset dresses while the men were outside sweating as they greeted guests. The ceremony was perfect and then it was time to celebrate!




Charlie LOVED the band and couldn't contain herself - this is her crawling around with her bread because she just couldn't wait to hit that dance floor!


The ALLARD girls (of course, we didn't know Kristy was going to be one at that time)

She fell asleep on the dance floor with Nanny and was OUT for the last few hours, even with the loud music!

The beaming bride!

Thanks to "Nanny & Papa" for helping with Charlie so we could have a good time at the rehearsal and wedding!!
