Wonderful Wedding Weekend!

We spent the weekend in DelRay Beach for nephew Mike's wedding and the whole family was there to celebrate!

We picked up Andrea and Allison at the airport and then headed south where we met Richard and Nan for lunch.
Friday evening was the rehearsal dinner and no detail was overlooked!  Bonnie created a delightful beach-themed party and dinner.  It was a great opportunity to meet some of Jenn's family and catch up with family on the Jones side who we haven't seen in a while.

It's not every day you see a bagpiper walking down the street, piping away, but we did Saturday morning!  Right down Atlantic Ave toward the Ocean.
The wedding was Saturday afternoon and everyone was dressed in their finest.  Jenn was absolutely stunning!  Mike seemed to be cool as a cucumber.  Piece of cake!  Onto the pictures and party!
There was a bit of an 'intermission' between the wedding and reception so we took advantage of the opportunity to take some pictures.

Jenn did a fantastic job with the reception!  The floral arrangements were beautiful blue hydrangeas with huge white roses, the tables were covered in ivory linens, tasty blue champagne filled flutes for toasting and yummy surf-and-turf dinner.  She added several creative touches including table numbers that weren't just 1,2,3.  There was significance to each of them, like:  17 = Mike's jersey number, 3104 = the address of their new apartment in DC, 8109 = the date Mike proposed to Jenn.

The band was fantastic and kept the crowd energized (no line dancing!).
 Everyone danced and celebrated for many hours!

Congratulations to Ray, Bonnie (Mike's parents), Kathy and Rick (Jenn's parents) and
all the best to Mike and Jenn
as they begin their life together with brand new jobs in a brand new city!
