A wedding weekend

Our wedding weekend began with a gathering of families at Fujihana, a local hibachi restaurant in York, Pennsylvania. It was so nice to see Steve, above in the blue shirt, and his wife from Florida and Josh and his family from Pittsburgh area. They are my nephews. My sister Linda was also there from Fredericksburg. We always enjoy it when the family gets together. 

Linda and I on the wedding day. The wedding was spectacular. The music was played by a violinist and piano player and we all enjoyed the prelude to the ceremony. After Chris came out with the best man and minister a slide show was shown which chronicaled their lives from their childhood up to the present with music from Somewhere in Time. Unlike most weddings where you see the groom and bride from the back the minister placed the couple up on the alter facing the families. The ceremony itself was so lovely. My favorite moment was when they moved up to take communion and afterwards the minister left them alone to talk for a few moments. 

Wendy’s dress was so beautiful. In the light it sparkled ever so lightly. She was a radiant bride. 

Their first kiss and husband and wife. We proceeded to the reception hall where we had a lovely afternoon visiting and dancing. I am so happy for both of them.
