Chris and Erica's wedding was absolutely beautiful and so fitting for them. And though the weather had been forecasted as somewhat uncertain, the day ended up being simply perfect.
The ceremony site was simple and beautiful, with rust-orange mums to frame the couple.
Here we all come!
Walking in with Grandpa - though he kept blaming me for being the one who didn't know exactly where to go or what to do, I think we did a pretty good job. I know I wouldn't have wanted anyone different at my side :)
Reading about friendship and love by Cicero - a perfect description for and of Chris and Erica.
And from about this point on, a great deal of our pictures were of little Miss Emily. Who could resist?
Checking out the fish in the pond room...
and gauging the competition before she began to blow everyone away with her dance moves.
It was such a wonderful night, and so much fun to be hanging out with our awesome family - especially the newest "official and legal" member!
A perfect night.
The next day, before our flight out, we got to hang out with all the families for a bit at the cider mill. Again, strangely, most of our pictures included Emily.
Even though she wasn't too pleased with some situations...
We sure had fun looking at ducks with Grammy
and handing out "bah"s (conveniently, these ones had an Emily-sized handle at the top)
Given the beautiful weekend and wonderful people we were able to spend time with, it was incredibly difficult to leave and once again board that plane to Italia. To stop my tears on the flight, Luke reassured me that it being so hard to leave just showed how much we love everyone and how much we're loved in return, and how blessed we are to have such an amazing family... and then, when the tears still refused to stop, he told me we can get a dog :) and I smiled the rest of the way home (though strangely, I think it was Luke who was crying after that?)
