Hilary's Wedding

My sister Hilary and my new brother-in-law, Paul, were married on September 6th in New Harmony, Indiana. New Harmony is an hour away from where we grew up and has a special history as it is the place where our parents were married.



Kenny and I both got to play a part in the wedding, I was the Matron of Honor and Kenny was one of two ushers. We don't have any of the "official" wedding pictures yet, but here are some of Hilary getting ready and of the rehearsal dinner.


We were all very busy leading up to the wedding, and Kenny really worked hard during the ceremony! He had a lot of jobs to keep up with! Along with seating the guests he seated at least two of the grandmothers and the mother of the bride. When it was time for the bride to enter he went to pull the white carpet down the aisle but the string wasn't attached to pull it down with so he gracefully walked back up the aisle with everyone wondering what was going on. But then there was a big roll of carpet left right where the bride and groom should stand so the father of the groom tried to nonchalantly lean over and move it out of the way only to find out that the end was taped down to the floor and it was going to take a lot of work to get it up. Then the videographer sees the situation and comes over and together they pull of the roll of carpet making a loud ripping noise! It was funny for those of us standing up front who knew what was going on!


Hilary and Paul had a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception! We're so happy for them.



The day after the wedding Kenny and I got to drive around in the Firebird and check out New Harmony with my parents. It was a lot of fun!

That's a funny story. There seems to always be something that doesn't quite go right during weddings. Makes for great stories though! Sounds like a good time was had though.

Love your pics of your recent travels as well. I'd love to go on a vacation with just Stephen again!
