Perspective through Pictures: My Best Friend's Wedding (not the movie)

November has been a busy month for me. Shortly after moving at the beginning of October, I flew out to Arizona to visit my brother. Shortly after returning back to Durham, I flew out again for Alison's wedding. It was a beautiful, fun, tear-filled (happy ones) wedding weekend. These are memories I will cherish forever.

Here are just a few of the many photos I took during that time...

Below are Alison, the bride, Alicia, Meg, and Amy (sister-in-law) at the Bridesmaid Luncheon Friday afternoon. We sat in the kitchen enjoying some hot potato soup while Alison's mom, grandmothers, aunts, and mom's friends enjoyed their lunch in the dining room. We mingled before lunch and then had some time to discuss our own age-related topics during lunch.

Meg, Alicia, and Alison caught in a laughing fit during the pre-picture preparation.

Alison with her cousins, Mariana and John.

Aww, the siblings cheesin' it up for a picture at the rehearsal dinner.

The bridesmaids (minus me, of course).

Wow! Look at all that family! Alison's extended family sits mesmerized by the exciting DVD (put together by Rusty--Amy's dad) chronicling the lives of Alison and Chris pre- and post-dating.
