Cory and Thanh's Wedding Day

July 11th was Chad's brother Cory's wedding to Thanh. Chad was a groomsmen and Kingston was the Ring Bearer. Both did a good job, but Kingston didn't follow through with his responsibility so much, but gave it a good try. We didn't have high expectations for him, so the pressure didn't get to him. He wanted to entertain the wedding guest verses going down the aisle, which I had a feeling would happen even though I was at the end of the aisle with his pacifier and "Mr. Turtle." That didn't work, so I had to run up half way and get him. But he still seemed to please the crowd which was his ultimate goal. =) It was a very beautiful wedding and reception. Cory and Thanh we wish you both much happiness in your marriage! Enjoy the pictures from the day.





The beginning of Thanh and Cory's wedding day. The Bean family and groomsmen line up to present their gifts for the Vietnamese Ceremony. Chad had to introduce us, which he did a very good job!
After introducing the family. (If you look close enough you can probably see the sweat on Chad's face from nerves...) ha ha .. No he does look relieved of his duty though! Chad's mom and Dad look so proud.

The star before his "big gig!" Sucking on the paci for good luck. How do I look mom?



And check my hair.... does it look frizzy or are my curls tame today... It just rained ya know!


Oh my gosh I have to run and check in the mirror real quick! Mom, I need a hair pick and some gel, STAT!


My two men posing for me.


One of them doesn't want to stay still though... who could that be?


Our family. This is about as long as Kingston will stay still. Two seconds and that's all you get!



Fueling up with some carbs before my big gig, helps with my nerves. Especially when I shove it all in my mouth.


After the wedding gig, blowing off some steam with Gami. Looking at the Dj lights.


Still looking at the lights.... Or waiting for the Dj to play his song... Were not sure?


Oh my gosh they are playing my song!!! yayyyyyy!

The Wedding Rehearsal and Dinner

Here are the pictures from Chad's brother Cory and Thanh's wedding rehearsal and dinner on July 10th. Enjoy!



Nana trying to catch Kingston.... he pretty much wanted to walk well run around the whole place while everyone else was rehearsing.




Papaw Ralph, Aunt Nancy, and Peggy watching the rehearsal... Papaw caught me taking his picture... uh oh! =)

After all that hard work with rehearsing I need to try a chicken wing.


Nana, stay away from the chicken wing, you can have the paci!


Where have you been all my life?!?!?!

The happy couple before their big day.

Chad trying to carry on a conversation with Uncle Larry while letting Kingston sit on his head.


Kingston with his new love interest Lee, well she was his favorite. Pretty much all of the ladies in Thanh's family were giving Kingston lots of attention and he pretty much ate it all up.



Going after another love interest...

Falling down while chasing his favorite love interest.
"What I meant to fall down?!? Hey look how many pushups I can do... 1...1...1...oh forget it, you get the picture!"

It didn't work too long... back to the bucket!

Landon trying out his new bat and helmet.



Kingston trying out his new bat and it looks like Landon is the target... uh oh!



Uncle Mason throwing the ball to Kingston... And I am not kidding he actually hit it!


Kingston's adoring fans cheering him on! (Aunt Patty, Gammi, Aunt Jessica, and Uncle Landon)




Kingston going after Emme..... After she attacked him with 5 million running licks over and over.. Which Kingston didn't seem to mind but still he wanted to play with her.


She wasn't comfortable playing with him and a bat though, so she ran too fast for him to catch.


I got you finally!


Cousin Madison and Kingston checking out the view from Mason and Cheryl's bedroom.


Just hanging with my girls! Cousin Adrienne and Madison.

Chad and I showed Kingston where mommy and daddy got married.



Can't believe it has been 8 years already!


My two guys!


Going for a hayride... but Chad and Grant decided to opt out, once all the kids got on.


I don't know about this hayride thing Gammi!!! Have you all been drinking?



Hey cousin Paul, do you have a license to drive this thing?!?!?!


Okay, well I guess I can relax a little.... Cheese everyone!


Uncle Brian, I think your a little "too" old to play with cars now, can't you go play somewhere else!


Serious business people! What ? You haven't you seen boys play before?
