Annie gets married!

Hi everybody! Well, it happened. My favorite, baby, and only sister said her vows a week ago tonight and married a wonderful guy. I couldn't be happier for them. The wedding was wonderful. I cried during the vows. Annie cried during the vows. It seemed like many guests were tearful as well. While we were standing up by the altar, I grabbed my two kleenexes that I'd packed for tear-dabbing (damn the mascara)...one for me, one for Annie. As I gave away my kleenex, I heard some whimpering from behind me. I glanced toward the two other bridesmaids, who were smiling happily. Where was the loud, wet sobbing coming from? I turned around...sure enough, it was non other than Bobby. I grudgingly shared my kleenex. He didn't give it back.

The only disappointing part of Annie's wedding day was the fact that my camera died a few pictures into the day. With new batteries inside. I just about chucked the piece of crap out the window. There will be more on this story in another post. In the meantime, please enjoy these photos of the happy couple that I found while rummaging through facebook. I love facebook.

I am bummed that I don't have many pics of Julia and Mary from the day. They were super cute. They were a fantastic pair of flower girls and, despite being rather naughty during the service, got good reviews from the rest of the guests. I guess flower girls are supposed to be the comic relief during the wedding anyways.

By the way, the above photo is NOT from the wedding. It's my darling sister in an 80's cocktail dress...another lovely picture from facebook. :)

Here's the wedding party at the reception.
Annie and friend/former roomie Michelle. Thanks Michelle for taking pictures on this most lovely day!
Annie and Mark posing for pics outside
Mark's family singing, "honey" to Annie during the reception.
Mark nibbling Annie's garter off.
The electric slide. I danced most of it, but gave up for a chat with Annie at the end. Annie had put this on her "do not play" list, but it came up anyways. I was glad to dance it. I dont' care if it's repetitive, doo doo. It's FUN. and good exercise. You, of all people, should know that!
Mark, HONEY.
The happy couple.
This is a random photo of my my family at Christmastime in 1986. Annie is two, bobby is about 6 months. I think I just turend seven...and that would make Jason about twelve.

Stupid blurry picture! this would have been a nice one.
Annie and the flower girls...aka Julia and Mary. The had so much fun!!!
Random picture of Annie from years ago. She has a burrito in her hands and has wrapped it in what looks to be Bungee Cords. Weird woman.
Flowers!

Uh, Mom, I think I forgot my veil. Could you call dad and have him pick it up? I'm sort of getting married today.

DICK! HELP.
Bride with her Bare Minerals Make-up. ahhh.
Hair, Boom, and coffee. Nice combo!
Here we are!
Happy couple again. Nice shot.
Peek!
Blue steel, the look from zoolander. This girl has her game face on!
Happy couple, with Mark trying on what looks to be a rather fashionable pair of jeans. Or they might not be...I am about as good at fashion as I am at deep sea treasure hunting. Which is pretty lousy.
To conclude, don't forget that Annie wears cocktail dresses from the 80's

Happy Wedding, Annie and Mark!
