Krantz/Mason Wedding

This wedding was special for Esten and I since it was a sort of repeat of our own wedding, sans stress. The rehearsal dinner was at the brewery and the ceremony/reception was at Kairos. Bring back any memories from our wedding? While the venues were the same, the parties and the memories were unique and perfect in their own. We had so much fun!

At the rehearsal dinner, Jess and Mic gave Ro a fabulous, pretend guitar. As soon as he pulled it out of the bag, he said, "Out!" As in, out of the box, pronto. I fumbled with the eight thousand twisties and plastic pieces that they bind the toys into boxes with these days and got it out as fast as I could. As I was working, Esten suggested that we get him up on stage with the band and his new guitar. I think there is a photo of Micah as a child playing a guitar onstage with his dad. Before we could take him, Ro was running with his guitar to the stage. He plucked the strings, strummed them with a whole fist, made the lights come on and was beside himself over this little guitar. He continued to put it down and to clap for himself. Perfect gift for a little music-loving ring bearer.



Ro and Mara practiced walking down the isle at the rehearsal and we were all pretty confident they would pull through come show time. Wedding day was different in that we had a princess melt down just before showtime but the diva pulled through, with a little bribery, and had a solid performance. Ro had a goldfish break just before performance to tide him over and luckily saved his melt down for the reception.



Here they are walking together down the isle, like angels, slow angels. While they were walking a few petals spilled from Mara's basket and Ro said, "Uh oh." They started to stop and pick them up before we pushed them on their way. Rowan doesn't like things out of place and it wasn't any different this day.



They made it down the isle and sat, with more bribery, through the short and sweet ceremony. Ro loves to cheer and clap and when everyone applauded the newly weds he wasn't left out. Mara, on the other hand, didn't clap as she wanted to make sure she was looking good in these photos.





After the ceremony the prince and princess were climbing trees with the help of Esten.



And this was just too cute not to post. Ro and Mara playing with the water hose, the day after the wedding. Dah-ling.
