Mike and Leah's Wedding - 08/20/2011

Last weekend was my brother Mike's wedding. Our brother Tim officiated the ceremony (he also did our wedding), Mike's daughter and sons, our brothers, Leah's son and her closest friends stood for them. She had her best friend/mentor walk her down the aisle which I thought was pretty cool. It was a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony and you could feel the love between them. The reception was a lot of fun too! The Redmond (and Harris) side of the family hit the dance floor as soon as the music started. Our Mom's favorite song, C&C Music Factory's Everybody Dance Now, was a favorite. The night ended with a group of us (including the bride and groom) meeting at Denny's in the ghetto at about 2:00 am. That makes for interesting people watching let me tell you!

The entire weekend was a lot of fun. It was much more peaceful compared to other times our big clan has gotten together. I guess we are all at better places in our lives and more comfortable in our own skin. More pictures will follow but right now I've got to get back to getting ready for C's first day of school tomorrow and packing & laundry.

First dance

Father/daughter dance with Andrew cutting in to dance with his sister. Zach isn't much for the spot light so he quietly watched his siblings.

Mother/son dance

My niece and nephews minus a few. Caroline is the youngest of 21 grandkids on my side!

We never get our picture taken together anymore. Thanks Amy!
