Dan and Jen's Wedding

This past weekend was my brother Danny's Wedding. We had a wonderful time. The wedding was in Washington D.C. at the Willard Hotel. The Willard is an old grand hotel in downtown D.C. about 1 block from the White House. The kids enjoyed learning the history of the hotel on the trip down and looking in the "History Hallway" during our stay there for the weekend.

So you don't get confused looking at the pictures, I'm starting out by showing you a picture of my parents with there spouses. The order is Dad (Andy), Step mom Lynn, Step dad Gunnar, Mom (Kathryn).

On Friday was the dress rehearsal (which we missed due to 2 hours of construction traffic.) Then the Rehearsal Dinner. Family and Friends that were staying overnight were invited to join the festivities. We took a bus tour of Washington DC after dinner. Steven had a wonderful time during the bus ride sharing all the facts that he knows about Washington and past and present Presidents.

The guy in the viking hat is my brother Jimmy. Dan and Jen are in the picture next to Jimmy.

The next day was the wedding. Mark, Drew were Groomsmen, Steven was the Ring bearer, and Katy and Becca were Flower Girls.














Just so you know that I was there, here is a picture of me and Karl. Karl was very handsome in his suit.









As you can see fun was had by all at the reception. Don't my kids clean up nice!!!


The next day was a goodbye brunch before we all headed for home.
I thought that I would end this blog with two of my favorite pictures of the bride and groom, and send my heart felt love for them to them. May we all remember the love we felt for our spouses the day we were married and carry that with us each day. Love to all.
