virginia is for lovers

We got back from Virginia a couple of days ago. It was strange to come "home" to Bozeman. Strange, but so, so good. We were in Virginia for my brother John's wedding, and it was a bit of a blur with lots going on. I have a bunch of photos that I'll just post--fair warning.

The moms are frantically sewing and altering clothes the day before the wedding:
The wedding and the rest of the weekend occured at an old plantation house. The ceremony was outside and it was beautiful. Here's the setup:
Here I am in the middle of the mayhem before the rehearsal. Do I look overwhelmed?

After the rehearsal, and cousin Reuben and I are having a heart-to-heart: Sister Margaret and I; we were both bridesmaids:
Me and Josh:
The happy but nervous groom:

The whole, now-complete family. All the Den Boer siblings got married within 20 months of each other. It's been a crazy time, and I'm happy the weddings are all done now:
Our table at the reception. We had to make an "architectural structure." Our table did not win.
Other brother Daniel was the best man and gave the toast. Sorry it's so dark, but it was really nice being outside with all the lights: Josh is, umm... doing a little dance?
Daniel and Autumn. Why do you look so worried?
On the last day, we went to the beach for a while. John and Bethany's condo is just a couple steps from the beach--nice.
All the Den Boer siblings and their attachments: What is that crab claw doing on Mom's sandal??
Dad, Mom, Aunt Cheryl, and John. I'm sure Mom and Dad are breathing a sigh of relief now that we're all married off:
Me and Josh again:


Now back to real life.

ha ha! Crab claw. Can you email me the picture of us all in the water? I'd like to print that one out.

Happy Bozeman!
