Wedding Day Priorities

That's one good looking family!

There I am, decked out in a tux, my wife a beautiful bridesmaid, the reception is just about to get going and the only thing I can think about is getting Dominic out of all the noise.

This is how your priorities change when you have a child, even when you're at his uncle's wedding.

A beautiful wedding

We had big plans. Melissa and I were both in the wedding, we even bought a sweet suit for Dominic to wear. We were one good looking family.

And it's not like Melissa and I never expected to stay all night, but we figured we'd bust a couple moves, watch the cake get cut, maybe even have a cocktail or two.

Nope.

As soon as we walked into the cocktail hour... I knew it was over. Dominic was overwhelmed by all the people and all the noise. His eyes were as big as saucers.

Can you tell he didn't like the noise?

And as soon as I saw that, I was ready to go and didn't even think twice about it.

Ultimately, we stayed through dinner, and Dominic fell asleep on my lap. After the meal, I took him back to our hotel room, and let Melissa stay and party (it was her brother's wedding).

How sweet is that?

Would I have loved to stay for the party? Yeah. Would I do the same thing about in a heartbeat? Absolutely. After all, it's all about priorities and my family is priority number one.



The good news is... before we left we took some really good photos.

Daddy and his boy... check the shoes!
