Wedding Weekend



Last weekend we traveled to Florida for David's sister's wedding. It was unseasonably warm for March with highs in the 80s. The wedding was at the Omni ChampionsGate in Orlando on Saturday afternoon, and Allison and Matt make a wonderful couple!

The bride was beautiful, and it was a great event since we were able to see family members we haven't seen since leaving Florida in July 2006. I hung out in the bridal suite before the wedding and was able to take some photos.

As the guests started to arrive we left them know we were up above watching them.



Allison wore her grandmother's pearls and gave each bridesmaid a set of pearls as a gift.



After putting on her dress and waiting for the ceremony to begin, Allison said, "I need to pee."

The ring bearer and flower girl were adorable. Isabella wasn't happy about putting on her dress, and Daniel didn't want to give up his pacifier, but they were so cute walking down the isle together.



We're on our way down to the golf course for the wedding with only a few more minutes of being single.



Repeating the vows...


Allison's step dad is from Luxembourg, and several family members made the journey across the Atlantic, including cousin Olivier and his wife Alla. Olivier is a police officer in Luxembourg and was in his uniform. It was great to see them!



Her flowers were red and white.



The cake was beautiful and delicious.



At Friday night's rehearsal dinner, we had the groom's cake, which was made by one of Matt's co-workers. It was yummy too!



David's mom and step dad had the rehearsal dinner at their house in Winter Haven. They've recently completed a backyard renovation with a new deck and living space over their garage. The landscaping looks gorgeous in the front yard as well.









I don't know when we'll back in Florida, but it was a great visit! Congratulations Allison and Matt!
