Life. I've had some.

I should have posted here a while ago, but I've been busy recovering.

Last weekend was my cousin Paul's wedding, a wedding I've been looking forward to since they got engaged. We adore Sandra, and together they are just the sweetest couple ever.

It was a lovely day - stormy in the morning, but it cleared up in plenty of time. Hot and humid in the church, but it was a reasonably short service. Derek and I snickered when the congregation and the parents were asked to offer our support to the couple with the words 'God help us', but a little bit of levity is always good.

The gathering at the farm was nice. It good to talk to everyone, great photo ops, and just relaxing before the main event - the reception. The food was excellent, and the DJ was pretty good; the floor was never empty for as long as we were there. I danced a fair bit, so that made me happy, and I got to watch another cousin and his father try to 'out-Parsons' each other. That is definitely a term that will make it into the family vernacular. I posted a few pics on my flickr page, mostly family.

It looks like an absolutely beautiful wedding, and the bride and groom look so young!

The out-parsonsing was terrifying to behold and yet somehow entrancing.

God help us!

They are young - only 23. :) They are really right together, and I've never seen a happier or more relaxed bride, so that's got to be a good sign.

I love your dress. And the picture of the bride, groom and pastor is beautiful the way it's lighted.

Thanks! I got some very pretty good pictures, which I'm happy about. I just finished a photography class, so I tried to put what I'd learned into play. I especially like the picture of my uncle - there's not too many photos of him. :)

Thanks - I was really happy with the dress too. I ordered it online.

What a lovely family you have. And I agree with A2zmom. Nice dress you had on.

Thanks so much. I was pretty happy with the dress - it was the first new one I'd picked out and bought myself for 6 years or so!

And you can't tell in the pictures, but the family is weird, as well as wonderful. :)
