Wedding Bells

My cousin Rebekah got married on Sunday!  She was such a beautiful bride. 
Leah's kids were an invaluable addition to the wedding party!  Abby was an usher, Matthias was the ringer bearer, and Mimi was PERFECTION as the flower girl:

Leah was the matron of honor in her beautiful blue dress: 
The reception was a marvelous party.  Long live DJs and colored lights, cash bars and the Cha-Cha Slide.  I will never stop enjoying wedding receptions.  I shall know I am truly old if I ever do. 

With sights like this, who can feel old?  

(Abby danced like two dances and then read throughout the rest of the reception.  I respect this heartily.)

 Jon and Mimi have a special relationship.  She recently accepted me a Person Who Can Be Hugged, and I think I owe it almost entirely to Jon.  
My green dress I ordered online fit!..mostly 
We had a babysitter and it was a rare and excellent date, as well as a meaningful family occasion. Jon and I don't get that many opportunities to go out dancing anymore.  Life provides joy like this only sporadically. It's important to live these opportunities thoroughly.    
To life! To love! and to family! Cheers, everyone.
