Austin's Wedding

The new Mr. and Mrs. Gillis



My little brother, Austin, and his cute fiance, Maegan, tied the knot on Saturday, Sept. 26!! It was a beautiful wedding and they both are so happy. We just love Maegan and are so glad she is officially part of our family now! It was a special wedding for our little family because 3 of the 4 of us were in the wedding - I was a bridesmaid, Mike was a groomsman, and Addy was the flower girl (and Brooklyn had a matching dress). It was so fun to see Addy as the flower girl!! She did SO GOOD at her very important job. We were worried she would get scared and not walk down the aisle or not throw the flowers, but she did it all. It was pretty funny too...she would grab a handful of flowers and throw them out like she was throwing a football or she would grab a handful and just toss it behind her back. TOO CUTE :) Here are some pictures of the wedding and reception.

P.S. Here is the "updo" I did on Addy for the wedding. It took forever, but she was a saint and I think it turned out so cute. And my friend, Sarah, made the girls matching bows, so she had the bow in there too (I don't think Addy's bow is showing in any of those wedding pictures, but you can see Brooklyn's).

It was so fun to see all of your family in this post!

The wedding looks beautiful - and I love the bridesmaid dress colors!

(And by the way, I can't believe you did an updo on a three year old, but it turned out so cute!)
