Wedding!

Saturday was the wedding of our second son Shawn and his beautiful bride Winnie.  The weather cleared up just in time for the outdoor ceremony which was a huge relief.


My pictures really aren't the best because they were taken on the fly.  I know there are better ones coming from the official photographer but in the meantime I thought you might like to see these.

Shawn and Winnie chose to plant a tree to commemorate their wedding which was held at our friends three acre property in the country.  A tree seemed to be fitting,  Their cake was made of rice krispies held together by peanut butter and corn syrup (an old family recipe) and they cut it using the knife Jack and I used at our wedding almost 32 years ago.

Sorry the pictures aren't the best!

  13. Congratulations to the Happy couple. Looks like everything went very well - now you can fall apart. Just kidding but must be a relief to have both weddings over.

    We had 2 in one year and know it is stressful.

  14. What a lovely symbol to plant a tree for their wedding. May their love grow with the tree, may it spread with the tree canopy to enfold many others, and may there be many new branches!
