Let me start by apologizing for the quality of these pictures. I was halfway to Dana Point, CA when I realized that I had remembered none of the three cameras that I own. We were headed there for the wedding of one of Ev's good friends: from the Academy, flight school and also a fellow cobra jock.
The wedding was beautiful- orchids everywhere, beautiful California sunshine, fresh seafood and a reception at the Ritz-Carlton right on the ocean. But that's not even the good part. I'm going to tell a story now that still amazes even myself. Many of our friends and family have commented on Trevor's ability to charm those around him. Give him about 70 seconds- he's like jedi master. On friday night, we attended the wedding rehearsal; Ev was leading the sword detail and needed to discuss with the groom where it would take place. Trevor watched the rehearsal intently, and finally commented on the fact that there was a flower girl, but no ring bearer. "Where is the ring bearer?" he asked. Well, I didn't have a good answer, except to say that not everyone has a ring bearer. So, at the rehearsal dinner, he decided to bring this issue to the Bride's attention. After they were introduced, he was chatting her up, and suddenly a few words caught my attention. . .something to the effect of, "I could be your ring bearer." (You have to understand that he does have experience from his Aunt Heather's wedding last May. Apparently he thought he might make a career of it.) Anyways, everyone laughed, including the Bride, "Oh, how cute! See," she said as she turned to the Groom, "I told you we should have asked them. I saw their Christmas picture and thought how cute they are and said we should have them as ring bearers!" Ha ha ha! Everyone laughed, and I told Trevor to stop bugging the Bride. End of story. Right? Wrong. Trevor continued to charm the Bride with his clever conversation and sunny personality for the next 20-30 minutes. About an hour later, the groom comes over to Ev and announces that, "Alright, they convinced me. They're going to do it."
Do what??? "They'll be ring bearers." I don't think I've ever been so shocked. Only Trevor could convince a Bride to include him in the wedding party 18 hours before the weddding. So, that's how Trevor and Braden came to be Ring Bearers this past weekend. They walked down the aisle, one one either side of the flower girl. I have to admit, they were pretty darn cute.

Goodness! What a charmer. I know they both have me under their spell.
Ths pictures of you all are great shots despite leaving your camera behind. Thanks for sharing.
How cute. I can imagine Trevor charming the bride into having a proper ring bearer. Then she wants them both...well, I would have too. After all, they had matching suits and I bet walked down the isle with smiles and such pride on their faces. I would have loved to have seen this. What a great story,Meghan. Love you family picture.
The pictures are wonderful even if they are not up to your usual excellence--we amatures can,t tell.
That story just gets better and better--what a joy those boys are and cute too!! Nana
That is a great story! Makes you wonder what stories are to come as he grows :)
Wow, not only a career in Ring-bearing, but definitely a Sales Executive of some type. Very impressive! They are darling!
Way to go Trevor!! Well, we have always said he has a future in politics:)
That's hilarious -and so cute. They really are an adorable pair.
(And their parents are looking pretty darn sharp as well!)
SO FUNNY, Megs!!!! I love those boys!!!! BTW - gorgeous pic of your family (in spite of missing cameras!) and GREAT dress.
Love you!
