We got hitched!! Part Two: Mad Tea Party

Sorry! It took me awhile to get to part two because I've been gathering (and waiting on) photos from everyone. I'm sure I'll get more even after I post this :) Thank you everyone who gave me pictures! I love them!
Anyway, back to the story.
One day Malachi was sitting in his backyard when suddenly, the Mad Hatter appeared He demanded a tea party He decided to show off his new socks and nifty shoesHe poured some tea for little Malachi Such an adorable little guy :) Malachi was wondering, "Who is this Mad Hatter? He looks really familiar." When his grandma and grandpa showed up and and started hugging the strange man in the top hat, he realized "Oh, I know that guy! That's Uncle Jesse! He's here to play with me! I hope Cori comes to play too."
Soon, lots of other people started showing up. Some he had seen before and some new faces. Everyone looked very nice. "What is going on?" he wondered.
"Hmm...there's cousin Drew, Viet, Daddy (Paul), and Uncle Tyler"Has everyone come here to play with me?"
Finally, things got quiet and Grandma (Beth) and Grandpa (Tony) came out of the house with Uncle Jesse between them and they walked to the gazebo where Jesse's friend Dustin stood waiting Next came Rachel and Uncle TylerThen Mommy (Melissa) and Daddy (Paul) brought Malachi to the gazebo. The sun was in his face, but he was having fun playing with Mommy's flowersAfter them came Brian (Cori's brother) and cousin KateNext was cousin Caroline and cousin Drew Then came Valerie and Warren Kellie came out with rings attached to her flowersNext, Viet came out and starting throwing flower petals. He was trying to throw them at the people watching, but he couldn't reach them. Silly Viet Cori's Mom (Gwen) and Dad (Gary) came out with a lady covered in lace. "Is that Cori?" he wonderedWhen everyone made it to the gazebo, Dustin started talking Then he read to everyone from a kid's book called "I Like You" by Sandol Stoddard Warburg Malachi thought it was a pretty good story.
Then Uncle Jesse and the lady gave eachother rings. They said things like promising to always make eachother laugh and that Uncle Jesse promised he would get the lady a dog as soon as they got a house. Finally, Dustin said something about them "successfully tying the knot," but Malachi hadn't seen them tie any knot. He told them to kiss and Uncle Jesse took off the lady's lacy hat thing. "It is Cori!!" thought Malachi Then they kissed. Ew! "Oh! I get it now," Malachi exclaimed. "Uncle Jesse and Cori got married! I have a new Aunt! Yay!"Everyone was so happy that they started hugging Uncle Jesse and Aunt CoriThey looked so happyMore and more people started showing up and the kept bringing more and more foodUncle Jesse brought some of his homemade "tea" in bottles. The adults really liked it, but the kids weren't allowed to drink itThere were a lot of silly people playing dress up and looking into the magic "looking glass" Malachi got his picture taken with his Uncle Jesse and his new Aunt Cori Everyone was having a great time! Suddenly, out of nowhere, the White Rabbit appearedApparently, he is good friends with the Mad Hatter Shortly after that, Malachi had to go with his Aunt Marion because it was his bedtime. So that is where his story ends. But I can tell the rest of the story.
It started getting dark so the candles and paper lanterns were litMusic was playing and people started dancing

Then the White Rabbit came back Everyone was having such a great timeThen all of a sudden, something came out of the shadows Look out behind you, Teri! Zombies have invaded the reception! But it was ok. They turned out to be friendly zombies! Everyone danced the night away, even the zombies. It was a very interesting tea party, definitely, but it is one that no one will ever forget
The End
