My cousin Courtney got married at Chateau de Pique Winery in Seymour. In the old days we would have hopped in the car and taken off, now...not so much. We had major planning to do. We had to plan Owen's eating schedule around the hour long drive, figure out where we could make a pit stop if necessary, how to feed him once we got there, and prayed he wouldn't be fussy during the ceremony. We've done church 7 or 8 times successfully, but I definitely did not want our baby to be the one crying through someone's wedding. I really freaked out when we got there and the ceremony site was on a hill in the middle of a field, and there was no where to escape to if things got crazy. Luckily it all worked out...even though it was extremely hot! We stopped at my grandparents' on the way so Owen could eat, he was well behaved when we got there, and we only had to go to the car to feed him once in the middle of the night. I think he was so mesmerized by all of the new sights and sounds he was too distracted to be fussy! Mission accomplished!
Jacob and RJ entertained Owen during the ceremony.
Nana, Poppy, and Owen deep in conversation.
Us.
My grandma held Owen while we ate. She has the magical baby touch (could be the 13 grandchildren before him)! Notice he doesn't have his shorts on anymore...it was that hot. We were wetting down his burp cloth and wiping him down with it. Thankfully after the sun went down it was much more comfortable!

I'm glad you survived the wedding. The first new adventures are always the hardest, but I promise they get easier...that's until you get a second baby :)
