73°f/22.8°C, breezy, light clouds. A few showers yesterday evening didnt amount to much. Possibility of more today. Fingers crossed!
Haley and Desiree's wedding was Saturday, and it was beautiful.
The ceremony itself was held at a little gazebo at Valley Falls State Park, one of my favorites, and one that Haley frequently visits. The waterfalls provided a lovely backdrop.
My son walks his daughter down the aisle. The dress code for this wedding was pretty casual, since the event and the reception were both outdoors.
Haley's niece and nephew (granddaughter Hannah's children) played their roles well.
At their home, all was in readiness. Haley's mother (Derek's ex-wife but still froends)and Hannah worked hard to make it beautiful, and I think they succeeded. Her youngest brother, Logan, was the DJ and he did a fine job too. And my ex George, Haley's stepfather Darrin, and Mt sons Derek and Aaron all helped getting everything in order in the day's prior to the wedding. A true family effort.
And then the guests arrived.
This captures Haley so well! She shook the champagne, so when she uncooked it, you can imagine!
More grandchildren:
Kate, husband Jake and coming in January new baby!
Kate's little boy, who is 2, with thr blond hair.
Last, at least for today, Larry and I with the new couple.
My sister Maggie, from Eastern Shore Maryland, was a surprise guest! I wish I had taken a photo with her, and also one with all the grandchildren, but I was so surprised by how many of our family came, and was so busy visiting that I didn't get near as many photos as I would have liked.
...jean at a wedding is right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful family event. That happens to me sometimes when I get involved and get many fewer pictures than I had intended.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful day! Everything looks lovely, including the young couple. A new adventure for them is started!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun event...and dare I say my surprise at the attire of the brides/grooms! So clever! So glad you got to visit with so many of your relatives...it looks like a wonderful time was shared together.
ReplyDeleteA truly special family occasion. Others probably have photos to share with you. Do you ever make a shared album on iPhoto which others can add to? My niece dressed the same way for her wedding, though her bride wore a lovely gown. I only know this from the photos. They chose a very private ceremony and had a huge celebration later which we couldn't attend.
ReplyDeleteI love how the whole family came together to celebrate this couple!
