my baby sister got married!

We spent the week at her house getting all the details in order, and making sure that all the preparations were properly made. There were many lists, and plenty of frantic phone calls... a few last-minute decisions and changes were needed. Then, Friday morning, I helped get her into her gown, and joked about needing more leverage to get her tied in...


There was a snafu with her planned transportation, so I had to make some quick arrangements with a very helpful, very nice hotel manager in order to get her to the ceremony on time...


She was nervous, afraid of being the centre of attention, so I made jokes, and did my best to keep her tears at bay. Then it was time! Matty looked like such a big boy, proudly walking his momma down the aisle...


It rained through the entire (outdoor) ceremony, but no one complained. They both cried as they read their vows, and a violinist played beautiful music while they made it all official...

They were soaking wet, so happy...


Everyone complied with my silly requests, braving more of the rain so I could get the shots I wanted...


My sister made everyone do the newly learned "shopping cart" with her...


And after all the speeches, the eating and the dancing was done, the boy and I went back to our hotel room and talked about how happy they looked, and how thankful I am that my baby sister has someone like Jon taking care of her now.
