A Wedding

My brother Nathan married his high school sweetheart on Saturday, July 12. Ben and Grace were in the wedding, along with their cousins Connor and Isabel. Ben and Connor were ring bearers, and Grace and Isabel were flower girls (aka princesses).

The bride, Alli. We are so happy that she is part of our family now! Ben and Grace have known her all of their lives, so it was a bit confusing that she is now AUNT Alli. My brother, Nathan. We love him so much and are very happy for him! (But seriously, how is he this old? He should still be 16 and playing high school football. Not married!!!!)
The wedding was so much fun- the kids had a ball dancing with the bride. Grace would not leave Alli alone, and we finally had to take her away so Alli could dance with other people(like her new husband:). The weather was not great- mid 60's and windy, but at least the rain held off until the outdoor ceremony was over.
Nate and Alli are on their honeymoon in Maine- they flew into Boston Monday morning. Their parting words were "don't call us, we'll call you".
The week leading up to the wedding was great, as both of my sisters and their families were home, as well as Nate and JJ at some point. The 4 older cousins rode the firetruck in Buhl's 4th of July parade, as well as Nate and Alli. We spent time at the cabin and played as much as we could. The cousins had so much fun playing together-it was sad to see Melissa and her family leave! Kristina and Nolan are staying until the 26th, so we will still get to spend time with them.
It was a beautiful wedding and a great week with our whole family!

Agreed that Nate should still be in H.S. catching footballs. It's a great picture of Nate - I didn't get one of him alone. Fun times!

Sounds like you guys had fun! I wish we could have been there!

Time flies so quickly. The funny thing is, when Nate was in high school, he was with Alli. It doesn't seem too different.
