My Vacation in Photos--Time with My Family Plus Courtney & Aaron's Wedding

by on ‎09-24-2014 06:30 PM

Last week was a very needed vacation. It was so nice to be able to spend a few days with my family. Just "hanging out" with my sisters and nieces and nephew is the best therapy in the world. Not necessarily doing anything "special"...just time with special people.

My dad and his wife Murleen came in the last evening and we all celebrated my dad's birthday a little early. I hope l take after him, because he looks amazing! Thank you for all your birthday wishes. I know he really enjoyed them.

Then it was off to Courtney's wedding! I was so honored to be part of her very special day. There were a lot of people there who love her and Aaron and it was a wonderful, wonderful weekend. We had the best time at the rehearsal dinner, where they invited out-of-town guests and everyone in the ceremony. It was great southern food, lots of laughs, karaoke, and dancing.

The next day was perfect weather for the wedding.

It was a simple and beautiful ceremony and Courtney was one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen in her Mark Zunino wedding gown.

It is easy to see that she and Aaron love each other very much. It is also easy to see how careful and respectful they are with each other while still laughing a lot. There were a lot of laughs at the reception!

And there was also some of the best food I have ever had!


Donuts!


I would have kept going back for more if I wouldn't have embarrassed myself. I was joking to my friends that I have not had macaroni and cheese in years, and I obviously held out until the right time because that mac and cheese was worth it!

The evening ended with a great band and lots of dancing. Yes, Courtney even got me out on the floor!


Aaron & Courtney


Then the couple was sent on their way to their new life with everyone in the wedding party holding sparklers on either side. It was a beautiful evening. I know that she and Aaron are going to have a wonderful time on their honeymoon. I wish them the best of everything. I don't think they'll need luck...they have so much of "the good stuff" already.
