Guests Are Arriving to the Church (Photostory)

I am doing this as a photostory, but I really wanted to squeeze in an extra video.  I figured I might be stoned if the next video I posted wasn't of the actual wedding.  So here goes.

The guests have started arriving to the church.  

Harrison and Tina are making their way inside. 

"Wow, there are a lot of people here already."  (Tina) 

"Honey, Mikayla and I are going to the restroom.  We will be right back."  (Michelle)

Meanwhile, the sisters are taking care of their daughters.

"Now what happened to that bootie, Sophia.  I don't know why I bother covering your feet." 


"Taylor, are you sure you don't have to go potty.  I would feel better if you tried to go." 

"But mommy, I don't have to go." 

"Don't wait until we sit down and tell me you have to go." (China)

"Alright, munchkin.  Nice and dry now."

"Hi ladies."  (Michelle)
"Hi, Michelle.  Hello, Mikayla.  Are you guys all ready for the wedding?"  (Sylvia)
"Isn't it wonderful.  Everyone seems to be excited about this wedding."  (Michelle)
"Well, they make such a lovely couple.  It's hard not to be excited for them." (China) 

Adele emerges from inside the church.  She still doesn't know that her husband and daughter are there.

"There's your mommy."  (Mike)
"Mommy?"  (Sydney)

"Oh my gosh!!  What are you two doing here?" (Adele)

"Well we missed you, so we wanted to surprise you." (Mike)
"Honey, I was just talking to you a couple hours ago and you said you were going to spend the day with the boys." (Adele)
"Well that wasn't exactly true.  Your sister and I have been planning this for the past few days." (Mike)
"I should have known she was in on this."  (Adele)

"So how long are you going to make me wait for a hug." (Mike)

"It's so good to see you.  This wedding has been taking up all the weekends I was supposed to have with you and Sydney." (Mike)
"Honey, I know.  I just got so caught up and I couldn't let Danielle down." (Adele)
"I know how engrossed you get in your projects." (Mike)

"Speaking of projects, how's the house hunting going?" (Mike) 
"Well, about that..." (Adele)

"Wow, the church is filling up fast.  These folks aren't playing." (Sylvia) 

"Well honey, I am glad you are here, but I do have to get back to this wedding.  After today, you will have my undivided attention."  (Adele)
"I'm counting on that."  (Mike)

Oh look.  Lisa and Charles have arrived with their family.  Chad looks so cute.

Aww, and Chelsea is dressed in her bunny outfit.

"Mommy, I want candy."  (Mikayla)

"Honey, I think she needs a diaper change."  (Frank)
"Really?  I just changed her before we got in the car."  (Michelle)
"Well, smells don't lie."  (Frank)

Poor Chloe.  There's nothing like a smelly diaper.

There have been a number of out of town guests that have arrived, too.  You can see them on my Facebook page.  www.facebook.com/vansdolltreasures  You will see several large pictures and you can see the rest of the guests if you click on "SEE ALL"  in the Recent Posts section on the top right column.

  2. The bathrooms are killing me! You know how to put together scenes that never would have occurred to me with the simplest of ease... or so they appear. And the handles on the church door... awesome.

    1. Muff - Thanks. Ever since I bought that 3 sink vanity, I planned to do a bathroom like that. I was determined to do it here, even though it was an after thought. A lot of my dios have to go up quickly. They don't get all the detail I would like sometimes, but they serve the purpose.

  3. The church looks amazing! No you did not make bathroom stalls? WOW!! Everyone looks so nice and the children are too adorable.

    Man, that Michael Jordan Head Play, don't play! He looks amazingly close to the real deal and his eye gaze makes a girl wanna swoon over here, LOL. I couldn't picture Adele with any other guy, great match up.

    I'm way too excited now...

    1. Tracy - Thanks. You can't have all those ladies and children in one place and not have a bathroom. I was very pleased at how Michael and Adele worked out. You know all too well, we may have the best intentions putting a couple together, but they may have other ideas. I was surprised that he had that gaze, because at first I thought I was going to have to adjust those eyes. But he definitely had that, "oh I have plans for you later" gaze going on.

  12. Hi, I really like your blog. The reason I like it is because it has a story. I've been blogging for three weeks now and could only find "doll collector" blogs. I thought I was the only story blog. Keep up the good work. Feel free to check out my blog. It focuses on a Royalty story line. http://daniel-s-world.blogspot.com/ Hope you enjoy it and your comments are appreciated. i will be checking yours out regularly now.

    1. Rossetti - Thanks! It's definitely nail biting time. Only a few snags along the way. Nothing that couldn't be fixed. Fingers crossed it goes off without a hitch.

  14. ...and a beautiful crowd of guests they are... makes me want to dress us some "people" to attend at the last minute.

    I love the details of the church -- from the door hardware to the bathroom stalls. You have such a great ability to capture even the smallest details.

    1. dbg - Thanks! There is still time for a couple from Texas. At the moment there isn't a Texas rep. But you have to hurry. Last I checked, even the overflow room was filling up. Rod and Danielle didn't know they had so many friends.

  16. This has really been a blast to follow... lol, my girls aren't fashion dolls, they'd look totally loopy attending, otherwise they'd attend too, XD The Neemos are following avidly and absolutely have loved watching this wedding come together.

    The question, though, is where do they send the gifts??? XD

    1. Heather - I haven't laughed this much in a long time. The other blog posts have really been hilarious. I don't think Rod and Danielle realized how many friends they really had. The Neemos would probably wonder, 'what are these creatures?"

      Delete
    2. LOL, hardly, I think it would probably go the other way around XD They'd have to send my Misaki girls in as translators, hahahahaha!!!

    1. Angie - Thanks for visiting and commenting. Glad you enjoyed the pics. Playing with Barbies are even better now. As adults we don't have to argue with our parents about getting us the latest stuff. We just mortgage the house and the kids and buy all we want. I hope you continue to enjoy my blog. The wedding is just around the corner.
