Welcome to the Fam, Mindee

So he finally did it. After letting 6 younger siblings beat him to it, my oldest brother Kerry finally tied the knot! HOORAY! We love Mindee and are so happy she's a part of our family. Kerry proposed 2 years ago, but Mindee wanted to wait. Although they figured they'd just elope when they did finally get married (Kerry doesn't like being the center of attention), Mindee's family talked them into throwing together a wedding in only FOUR days!

Didn't they do a great job with so little prep time?


I'm so glad I got to be there. I've never seen my brother so happy:


Our beautiful new sister-in-law gave a great speech, too, thanking Kerry for being patient enough to wait for her. We're glad he was patient, too:


My sister, Buffy, welcoming Mindee to the family:


The ceremony was perfect, but the wind really picked up afterward. Before we decided to head inside, Max helped out by holding the table cloth on at least ONE table:


I love how in love they are:


Close your eyes, kids:



2011Res: To Matt: I love the day I married you. To my girls: today I savored the love that Daddy and I have to give you. I'm so glad I'm not alone in this. Dear Mr H: today I found a sitter so you could attend the wedding without chasing two little ones by yourself since I was shooting photos.
