WIsky Business :)

Our first big trip this summer was to Madison, Wisconsin for our great friends Jori and Megan's wedding. We were so excited about this weekend - Jori and Meg have been great friends for a long time (we've known them since college), and they are truly perfect for each other. We were thrilled to be spending the weekend celebrating them! This was also the first time we would have the pleasure of introducing a lot of our friends to Owen.

We were a little nervous for the trip, though. It was our first true travel experience with Owen. I had taken him to South Carolina, but we had always stayed with Aunt Katie and Uncle Ben. This was our first time staying in an unfamiliar city and staying in a hotel. We somehow managed to survive, and had a great time!!

Finally, Daddy gets to fly with me (and mom gets some help)!!!

Lunch with the ladies

My mom was gracious enough to come with us and hang out with Owen so we could enjoy ourselves at the rehearsal dinner and reception without having to worry about taking care of him. It was a really tough decision for her, I think :) It was so nice to be able to hang out with our friends and feel like adults again, and not have to worry about Owen...knowing he was in the best of hands. Thanks, Mom!!

"Who is this guy and why are you letting him hold me?!?!"

Justin getting down with Megan. I think she was one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen. I know everyone always says that, but I really mean it!!

Dancing the Hora. This was my favorite part of any reception I've ever been to (maybe including even my own). Jori's family is Jewish, so a lot of Jewish traditions were incorporated into the ceremony and reception. It's really hard to explain how unbelievably cool it was watching all of Jori and Meg's family and friends dance around them in a circle. This should be standard at all weddings!

Getting crazy in the photo booth! This is another one of my new favorite reception ideas. Three of the four weddings we've been to this year have had photo booths....I LOVE it!!
