Road Trip with a 9 Week Old

This past weekend we had the wonderful opportunity to attend the marriage of these two:

Mr. and Mrs. Brian Shakley! We did not take this photo. Their amazing photographer did. (Free advertising…you’re welcome Brian Kaplan.) Ross and I agreed that the ceremony was one of the most fun and personal ones we’ve ever been to. The first thing I tell everyone is that Sissy grabbed Brian’s butt during the kiss. That, along with the letters they wrote to each other and the choreographed first dance (is this on You Tube yet??) allowed everyone see the bride and groom’s personalities. These two met nine years ago and are now husband and wife. They are so meant for each other and since I don’t know Sissy very well (and happen to adore Brian as a great friend), I loved seeing that show throughout the ceremony and reception.

Did I mention that it took ten hours and a shovel impaling our car to get to this event? Yes, an hour into the drive down I-75 we ran over a shovel:

It wasn’t the highlight of the weekend, but it definitely took up a lot of time. Thankfully, no one was hurt and we could continue on our way with a rental car. We split the drive up each way by staying with my family in Cincinnati. It was a packed weekend of seeing family and dear friends. Analiese did great considering the amount of time she had to be in her car seat.
