Whirl Wind Weddings!

Don't freak out!  None of them were my wedding.

I recently returned to San Diego from a week off of work during which I attended a couple of weddings.  The first was in Georgia where all of my immediate family gathered.  This was the first time I had seen most of my family since January.  It was a lovely airport welcome.  Many Aunts and Uncles and Grandma Raver were in attendance at the wedding, also.  It was great to see everyone.

The Georgia wedding was my cousin's.  An Italian-Catholic wedding officiated by an Irishman.  It had the first official "cocktail" hour before dinner that I have been to where wait staff actually walk around with food and drinks on trays.  Picture 1 is right after the ceremony.

Look at these good lookin' people!  These are my brothers
and sister.  (Shoes were removed here for a height
comparison.  Some of the people I work with think
I am tall...I may be, but...)

The second wedding was for a couple of friends who I met at church in Columbus, Indiana.  They are one of those couples where you just can't help but be delighted for them.

Some of my favorite people, Chris and Jenny, were
also in attendance.  We danced the night away.

And look, who else!  Sam and Darcy.  I first met them when
they came on the Mexico Family Camp trip with Amor this summer!

It was also a great week in between.  I was able to say hello to several friends and neighbors, attend a Starr's house cookout (another of those great Columbus families), take a trip to the Indiana State fair, play a few games, and read a few books.  Vacation at it's finest.
