Flower girl #2 opportunity for Miss Cora!!
What a busy couple of days! Cora and I headed to Cedar Rapids Friday around noonish... getting there about 3:00. It was a good drive, we just sang and sang in the car... glad I have a singing buddy. :) We met up with a few cousins just at the hotel and chatted, then headed to the rehearsal! It was nice to meet some of the wedding party (all very nice), and we had a nice supper with Trish, Greg, Mo & Gary and the others.
Saturday we slept in a little... just took it easy in the morning, which was nice because I knew Cora was going to have a long day! Me too! We had our cousin from Arizona do Cora's hair, which was super fun... fun to chit chat with them while that was being done. Cora did well and loved it!
Then we headed to the venue... and the day started. Lots of sitting around, but she did well - just soaked in all the pretty girls and Shanna looking beautiful. Pictures were done. Then it was time to start... wedding was perfect, and so sweet. Cora did awesome. They did a lot of the 'traditional' wedding stuff - so there was a lot of sitting and waiting, which can be a little frustrating for a 8 year old!!! Thank god for family there! There was dinner (which wasn't all that great in my opinion), and there was dancing - lots of dancing! Cora lived her BEST life on that dance floor with her cousins. Wow, she loved it!!
The night ended for us about 10:45. SO LATE!!! But it was worth it... then we unfortunately had to head back to DSM first thing Sunday for dance (and we thought baseball), but games ended up being cancelled due to much needed rain.
What a great couple days - exhausting, but so great. I'm glad Cora got to experience all of that!
