Steven and Julie: Keith and Stephanie's Wedding July 2011

Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

Keith and Stephanie's Wedding July 2011

First of all, let's say Congrats to Keith and Stephanie for tying the knot!

We had a whirlwind wedding weekend preparing for, enjoying and resting after the big party.

We got to see the wedding site on Thursday Night after the boys had spent the day running around taking care of last minute errands and wedding prep. Stephen S. came in to town and so it was a lot of fun getting to catch up with him. We all went home and tried to get some sleep.

Friday Morning we woke up and got to work. When Steven and I arrived on site, there was a flower crisis. I was able to help solve it and then spent the afternoon making Boutonnieres and Bouquets, neither of which I had ever made before. I think they turned out pretty good.

Friday night we attended the rehearsal dinner and had a lovely time, but we made the mistake of coming home and taking a "nap" before getting up again at 12:30 AM to drive to the airport to pick up our friends Chris and Michelle, in from Boston for the wedding. On the way there we passed a train track and the train blew a whistle... Steven and I both shot up saying, "I'm awake!"... We were able to pick them up without incident and we all came back to the house to pass out.

Saturday morning Darren picked up Steven early. Michelle, Chris and I were able to be a little more leisurely. Which was very nice. We arrived at the site with beer and gifts in hand and ready to enjoy the day. After the reception had died down, some one put up a volleyball net and everyone played on the grass for a good two hours. We finally made it home around 9:30, ordered a pizza and watched the great photos that Chris took on our Wii. I didn't snap a single photo, so these are all from Chris. They are so good. Enjoy!
