Off the Market

This photo has nothing to do with the wedding weekend, except that it was taken in the motel. It just makes me laugh. My kid piced an interesting back pack.

On to the rehearsal dinner - here's the groom's (and my) parents.
The happy couple with a few more hours of freedom.

Kat & me
Saturday morning, Kathryn and I attended the bridal luncheon. We dressed up expecting a dressy luncheon, like mine & Katy S.'s. Yeah. About that. The bride & her maids showed up in shorts & fuzzy flip flops. If I had only known, I would have happily brought my flip flops and left the Easter dress at home! Ah well. no big.

After some marathon naps & another clothing change it was off to the ceremony. Here's Laney & Mama Janie:

We met my brother on the way in: Lauren (Aunt Lala) found us in the nursery. Ladies, I have got to tell you having a nursery at a wedding rocks! Elena was obsessed with Lala this weekend, if she had been in the ceremony, she would have followed the bride down the aisle.
The obligatory family photo. Proof that we clean up nice.

Mom, me, Elena and my grand parents (Granddad is not looking at the camera). We hadn't seen them since Thanksgiving 2006. It was touch & go as to whether they would make it to their last grandchild's wedding.
Laney & Mama Janie make a toast.
Awwwwwwww

My parent's "Prom" shot Rob & Kathryn's prom shot

This kinda says it all - fun, dressed up, party time
We had to head home before cake, due to:

All is right with the world though. We have left over strawberry cheese cake (Groom's cake!) in our fridge.

I got this from my dad's camera. Rather than rice or bird seed or bubbles, they used sparklers for the getaway!
And the whirlwind weekend ended up with a few more minutes with family.
Thanks for putting up with 17 photos plus text!
