Wedding bells

My sister got married on Saturday, Was an amazing day, Her dress was stunning, she looked beautiful. We almost missed the registry office ceremony, we made it just in the nick of time even though we left early so we wouldn't be late, driving down the road we remember we forgot the camera so back we went to get in, and onwards with our journey, when we find out neither of our phones satnavs are working, we only have cheap basic pay as you go ones, but not even google maps would work on it so it was all guess work! well we get to the main roundabout which has 6 exits on! thinking I know where we are going take the second exit, then realise that reading the map it was meant to be the third exit, where we have to drive a good 5 miles before we can turn around to get back to the roundabout, take the right exit, knowing that we will still make it in good time, little one was out for the count so we stop in burger king just to get some drinks and a quick bite to eat while on the road. Then get a text from my mum saying that traffic into town is a nightmare she hopes we make it on time, as entering the town having no idea where we are going decide to ring her, as she just drove there thinking she will be okay at giving directions which was a big no, finally we find it and take our seats! little one just woken up and carrying all his toys he could manage, we thought that would  be fine as would keep him quiet as he doesn't do quiet very often he sat through the whole ceremony without shouting out once or running off! And then its photo time, would he put his toys down, NO!! so got lots of pictures with the little one and elephant and car and a dinosaur as you do, cant take them off him he just has a melt down so to keep him happy they are all included in the photos! then its a 10min drive to the main meal, again with no satnav just following the directions we were given we found it! Nice smallish families together for the first time sit down meal, little one decides he doesn't want daddies starter but wants it just after he finishes it! then main meal comes, cut it all up and he pours tomato sauce all over it, yuck! so I wont help him finish that, and well after 2 mouthfuls decides he's had enough so out comes his pudding, and he eats his and his brothers icecream, but he had to put pepper in it he ate it all so cant complain! messing about with all the other little ones with helium balloons all is going fine until he starts getting tired, we've got a 2 hour wait before the night do, so we take a little drive around the town to get him to sleep, after 20 mins his out like a light and sleeps for a good couple of hours!
Night do time, me and my big boy helping put all the decorations up with all the other helpers, and having a giggle playing skittles, waiting for it to start as we arrived early, my big boy stayed with my mum so he was down there already when I turned up. after and hour little one woke up and was happy to have a boogie and eat some dinner with granddad.
Loads more people turned up, but no one was dancing at the disco, so my mum get me and my little sister with my cousin and little one up all dancing, and little one was dancing and playing around from 6pm till gone 11pm when we left, he manage to stay away the whole time, probably cos he ate 5 packs of sweets which didn't help!
Zonked out on the way home as soon as we left the reception, and again as the satnav wasn't working we went 50miles in the wrong direction and had to go back to find our way home and try and follow the way we came but at midnight it was pitch black there was no signs to where we recognised so it was all guess work, 2 hours later we arrive home, both kids totally zonked out fast asleep and hoping as they had such a late night they would have a lie-in...No such luck 7.30 on the dot both wide awake!! now im shattered....
