Saturday Kirstin and I went to Emma's reception. Emma is my brother Frank's, oldest daughter. So she's my niece. She married Andrew Weber at the Washington D.C. temple earlier in the day and we attended the reception at 6:30 that evening. This was outside the country club they were having the reception at.
I was snapping some pictures when I must have caught Andrew's eye. We haven't met yet and I think this look says it all. "Who is that woman taking our picture? I'm a little concerned."
Our table. It was a beautiful reception. Emma did an amazing job planning it all.
I love her colors and the flowers were beautiful.
I think that her aunt did the cake. (Not this aunt!)
Frank was there, of course, and it was nice to talk with him for a little bit although it was entirely too short a time to catch up. I also got to catch up with Aubrey and Mariah, Emma's sisters that were at the family reunion this summer. It's been fun getting to know them as young adults. I have to confess. I really need to learn how to take better pictures in the dark settings. I took a ton of pictures but not very many turned out. I guess I'll have to pull out my manual that came with it.
I was sitting next to Andrews' parents and was impressed with them. They were very kind and gracious. I think that they are a good family for her to have married into. They are a beautiful couple and I think that they'll be very happy together. Congrats Emma and Andrew!

So pretty! I'm glad you got to go and represent our side of the family. I know Emma was so excited to be married and it looks like she found a great guy. I love weddings!
I got teary-eyed reading this. I am so glad you and Kirstin had the chance to come... we were so blessed to have you there sharing in this life-changing moment in our lives. Also, I'm really touched by what you said about his family. That is another blessing in my life.. he comes from a tremendously supportive and wonderful LDS family.. I could not be happier with my in-laws and I'm glad you had the chance to get to know them too :)
Thank you guys again. I feel so blessed and lucky to have such a wonderful family.
PS. I love the picture of Andrew looking at you on the steps of our reception venue. You should email me that one if you have it still!
