Non-Adventure # 10 Weddings Near and Far!

After my friend Chrissie got married I still had two more to go. The next one or the near one was for my cousin Matt. He was marrying a fantastic girl named Jessica. My sister Donna has been hanging with us since my brother-in-law has been deployed in Guam and my other sister Melissa flew in from Louisville to visit and attend the wedding. There was a big rehearsal dinner at my Uncle Charlie's house catered by Abuelos. It was good food and a chance to meet all of Jessica's family. The wedding was on a Saturday evening on April 25, 2009. We drove out to the Country Club (where everything was going down) and sat outside and watched Matt and Jessica say their vows to each other. Then we headed inside for appetizers, dinner, and dancing. Here are the happy new couple Matt and Jessica:
Here are me and my sisters Donna (Davenport) and Melissa (Marciszko):
Here we all are with our mom!
Here are my wonderfully fantastic parents, they won the dance for the longest married! They will have been married for 36 years on July 27th! (They really only won because my Uncle JF and Aunt Kay weren't there)
Here is a couple of pictures of the whole family!

So the last or the far wedding was for my new friend who I met in Bible Study Fellowship. Her name is Loryn and we became fast friends during our Monday night meetings. She became engaged and married Alex in Abilene and they now reside in San Angelo. But she went from being a Brown (no actual relation that we know of) to being a Best on May 16, 2009! Here are a couple of pictures I took during the ceremony at First Baptist Church in Abilene. (the first couple are with my iPhone):

The kiss!!!! The happy new married couple Alex and Loryn Best!!!! She was so beautiful that day!

I was so blessed that I knew people in Abilene. I was able to stay at my friend Annalee's parents house. The Luttrell's are the most amazing people I have ever met. I have known them since I was a freshman at ACU and some of my most treasured memories from college either involve them or their house. From Christmas parties and graduation tea parties to dress fittings it was always such a joyus and God-filled place to visit. Everyone is immediately treated like a part of the family and they were so wonderful to provide me with accommadations for my brief visit in town. I know that Sherri reads this sometimes and so I want to say to her Thank you so much! Love you all!
