wedding!

It was a lovely occasion. These two are so sweet.

The dinner was delicious, an Italian buffet.

 This couple, adorable:

To Kirsten's surprise, p.j. rejected my offers to style her hair.  She wanted KIRSTEN to do it apparently.  Yeah, fit that in.

They did.  It was all good.

 There was an art table at the reception:

 The grandparents table:

Maria and Sean:

 Me and him:

 Those guys:

 Those faces, and that smile:

 Heidi and her peanut:

 John and Dannell:

 Tim taking selfies in the reflection off his knife:

 The dance was a blast.  The kids were SO EXCITED for the dance, it was crazy.

 Bouquet toss.

 Somehow I missed the garter entirely.

 Photo booth gang:

Late in the night we encountered this year old Elin puppy who'd been in the kennel for nine hours.  She gets destructive when she's bored, chews, so leaving her loose in the house at this point in her life is a bad idea.

But she was lively.  In my arms is her head upside down, photo of her chin, kicking wild.

 Here's one from this morning.  The toddler arranged this whole thing--where to put the baby, the pillows the beverage, covering them both up.

And that's the end of that. 

It was a lovely wedding weekend, and my sweet Betsy, all our best wishes to you and Jake and your beautiful child.

Nothing but love,

Val and Jay and Everybody
