Wedding Day

There was rain this morning, but it managed to be dry when we needed it to be.  

There was good visiting over breakfast at the hotel this morning, and then my sister Laurie and I and Tom and Arnie went for a walk down Main Street before getting ready for the 11:30 ceremony.

We all emerged from our rooms in our wedding finery and found our places in the church.

Others filed in behind us and the ceremony was underway.

 Jordan, my niece, and the bride's sister.

The bride was beautiful and the groom was handsome, just as it should be.

 The bride's family was happy.  So was the groom's but I didn't stick around for their photo ops.

We stole the father of the bride for a photo op of our own - brothers and sisters.

There was a time gap between the wedding and the reception that we filled by visiting at Starbucks.

The reception was held at a lovely facility, the Stroudsmoor Country Inn.  There were drinks and delicious hors d'oeuvres and lots more visiting.

Then upstairs there was dining and dancing and toasting the bride and groom.

The little kids had their own table.

 You may have noticed this is a military family.  Thus it was reflected in the cake.

 One can only hope that the marriage is more peaceful than the cake.  It tasted good though.

 First dance.

Now everybody dance!

 The cake cutting was surprisingly tidy for these two.

Just as we all converged for the wedding, now we will all disperse to go home or finish our travels.

Best wishes to the newlyweds. and thank you for a fun, family filled day.
