It isn't Everyday....
That your little brother gets married - or that you "get" a sister in law that you love like a sister! My brother Ronnie got married earlier this summer - on June 2nd. I have been to a lot of weddings and I am not sure if it was because it was my brother or because of all of the thought that went into every little detail but this was truly the most touching wedding I have ever been to! Not to mention the MOST FUN ever reception! I think my favorite part was the stones. Ronnie and Kate had collected a jar of stones from the stream that runs through her parent's property. The jar sat at the entrance to the chairs. As guests came through each chose a stone. During the ceremony guests were asked to get their stones out and make a silent blessing, prayer or wish for Ron and Kate. As guests exited the chairs they put their stones back in the jar. Now, sitting in thier house is a jar of blessings, prayers and wishes from all their guests...I just love that! Oh, one other favorite part - it was an incredibly hot day and towards the back of the wedding area (that was in a meadow with blossoming trees, white chairs and yellow flowers) was a small table set up with a white umbrella. There was lemonade and tiny lemon cookies with yellow icing flowers for the guests to refresh themselves with while waiting for the wedding to start. Such a sweet little touch!
Here are some pictures that I was able to capture (between being mom of the flower girls and an bridesmaid). Lunelle of Troy Photography did a beautiful job of capturing the emotion of the day. You can see their pictures in a super fun slideshow on her website, under Recent and "Private Residence, Somers CT.
