Dylan and Cali's Wedding

Saturday, September 7th my cousin, Dylan, married his long time girlfriend Cali. The boys were excited to got to the wedding because it was a casual outdoor wedding...a perfect opportunity to wear cowboy boots and cowboy hats!


After the boys were dressed, we loaded into the van and headed to the Kansas City area. We did some mingling when we arrived.


Garytt was pretty impressed with his shadow...especially with his cowboy hat.


Westyn did a good job of keeping his hat on most of the time, surprisingly.


Garytt and Gavin explored the dance floor.


Meanwhile, Westyn hung out with Grandpa.


I asked my dad to take a family picture for us...but it was a bit of a lost cause. We couldn't get everyone to look at the same time.
 

Westyn got a close-up though.


Pretty soon, it was time for the wedding to start. It was pretty sunny and warm where we were sitting. So, Grandpa provided some shade with an umbrella...always prepared!


Dylan and Cali drove up in an old red truck. The bridesmaids and groomsmen were in the bed of the truck. It was a fun entrance.


Cousin Larry performed the ceremony.


The kiss!


The newlyweds: Mr. and Mrs. Dylan Alexander


Then it was time to eat some fabulous Jack Stack BBQ and party! It didn't take long for the kids to make their way back out to the dance floor.


Westyn wasn't too sure about the dance floor at first. He preferred to play peek-a-boo with a hole in the tent support.


Jake looks pretty comfy with Grandpa.


Westyn havning fun with cousins. (He's quite the sweaty boy!)


Chris and Kelli, the parents of the groom, looked like they were having a good time, too!


Garytt was pretty excited for the camo inspired cupcake!


Westyn wandering.


And staying hydrated.


The Poloks...what a cute family.
 

As the night progressed, Westyn became more comfortable with the dance floor. In fact, he started busting out some break dancing moves.


While Westyn was bustin a move on the dance floor, Grandpa took Garytt over to the s'mores station. He had a great time but it made me a little nervous with so many kids with sticks on fire.


Enjoying his final product.


The boys went out to the dance floor for one more dance before it was time to go.


This wedding was unlike any wedding I had ever been to but it seemed perfect for Dylan and Cali. Congrats to you both and best wishes for a wonderful life together!  We had a great time celebrating with you on your special day!
