Pre-Wedding Madness

One of my cousins is getting married this weekend. Our family is like super-spread out around the continental US, so in an effort to not just accomodate one set of family members, my cousin decided to have her wedding in a fairly removed location: where we live. So out of pretty much the ENTIRE family my parents, sister and I were the only ones who did not have to make a multiple-hour/multiple-day trip for this event. Anyway, now that it's gearing up towards the weekend, everyone is converging here. So we spent the day with my cousins and aunt and uncle. It was a lot of fun. My eldest cousin has two little boys of her own [her youngest is the baby I asked for prayers for because of his heart surgery, if you recall] and they were actually pretty well behaved. Her oldest had his moments, but he's three...so as far as three-year-olds go, his meltdowns were few and far between. We were able to make a Starbucks run, hang out at the pool at the hotel and then all of the girls of the family set up camp in my cousin-that's-getting-married hotel room to put together gift bags, watch some SYTYCD and have fun. Hopefully everything else goes smoothly this weekend. Thus far things have gone well...we've only joked that she's been a Bridezilla once. It seems like it will be smooth sailing from here on out, but who knows... For right now, I'm just tired from playing with the babies all day and from randomly trying to learn a hip-hop dance from a YouTube video in my cousin's hotel room at like 10 o'clock at night.
