Rachael and Ryan's Big Day 6.25.10

There was a hot pink envelope lying on her pillow the night before the wedding. In swirly letters we all knew it was addressed to the bride to be... a letter from her little sister 3 full pages long. Stating, if I gave a speech at your wedding, here is what I'd say, and tears just sliding down the brides face with joy. It was incredibly cute to see that interaction.

I think Holly may have been more excited than Rachael for the wedding.

The wedding was beautiful of course, any kind of show Rachael puts on usually is great!

And of course as every wedding does, it went by in a flash... breakfast, hair, post wedding pictures, the walk down the aisle (I cried!), the kiss, the blowing of the bubbles on the way out of the church, the pictures, the walking in, the toasts, the food, the dancing... so much fun!

R and R's wedding reception was in an old train station... beautiful venue, but the acoustics were horrible. Everything echoed including my speech...I have never spoken into a mic before and my instruction from the DJ was to pretend like I was eating it. Great... some said they didn't hear a word of the speeches, and some heard it loud and clear... I suppose what was important was that Rachael and Ryan heard every word.

As the sun was setting it was blaring into the reception... here is my Uncle Bill wearing my Aunt's sunglasses. I will laugh at this picture every time I see it!

Me and my very pretty niece.

Me and the very pretty bridesmaids, Holly and Ruth.

Me and Mom

Me and the hubs.

I have to say, I have never seen my sister look better or more glowing than that night.

Here she is, mother of the bride with mom and me.

Again with the bride.

End of the night picture of me and sibs... minus Chris.

Congratulations Ryan and Rachael!!!!

Enjoy your 2 week honeymoon!!!
