Nephew's Wedding and Family Gathering

Last weekend was the wedding of nephew Ian and his bride, Karin. Scroll back through the messages here and you'll see the quilt I made for them. All in blues. Very pretty!

We were having a heat wave, and although August 1st wasn't THE hottest day (that had been a few days earlier, with a temperature of 106 degrees), it was still very hot. In the 90's. The wedding was outside in a garden, but there wasn't any shade. It was pretty miserable for the guests, just imagine if you had to wear a tuxedo--or a wedding dress! Still, they looked delighted, don't they? Perhaps because they were finally married and heading toward the shade!


While the toasts were being made, Ian was making goofy faces. Rolling his eyes, bugging them out... I don't know why, maybe he was self conscious with us all looking at him. I was relieved when they finished that and went to the dance floor. At least until I saw Ian dance. He is a goofy dancer too! He looks all right in the still photos, though.
Here is Ian, dancing with his lovely wife...and then with his very happy mother, Pam, who has been wishing for a daughter for a long time!




Great-aunt Betty visited from New York for this occasion. Here she is with sister-inlaw Sue, and with Aurora.
