The Anderberry Wedding

I warn you now, I've got a lot of pictures here of people you may not know. However, I believe that since weddings make for joyous occasions, you'll at least appreciate the smiles on everyone's faces. Truly a wonderful time. Note: I will refer to the bride as both S and Scarlet Lily, so don't get confused. Or annoyed.

The wedding took place in Canandaigua, NY, hence the beautiful scenery

A and L in the hotel room looking pretty, as always

L with baby Feathernester. As L said, "Jump in my purse! Nobody will notice!" Such a sweetie!

J and D...awww...

Bride and mother, sharing a moment

Groom B's old band, Tar Beach, having a "reunion". B is playing the violin.

I was playing with settings on my camera; this explains the blurriness. However, M's clear expression sums up the picture.

Wine tasting in Canandaigua

This is the "illustration" feature: L enjoying one of her samples

One of the flights of wine at the tasting--delicious!

This is the "retro" feature. I just liked the look of it.

B an hour before the big event!

Scarlet Lily also an hour before the ceremony. Notice how he was totally dressed and set and she is still in street clothes. ;-)

A thunderstorm mercifully passed through about an hour before the ceremony.

Maid of honor Feathernester

B played "Ave Maria" as the processional. How poignant is that? I tried to keep it together and failed utterly.

S and her parents

I used the zoom on my camera to get this shot; I just like held hands

Just as I'd gotten it together, bridesmaid G sang a song she had written and created specially for the happy couple. More tears ensued.

Me being nosy: They were posing for pictures and I once again used my zoom feature to see what I could get.

Please scratch! Ohh...thank you....

Think I can Photoshop the photographer out of the way?

Three lovely ladies

Four lovely ladies (Ah, ah, ah--the Count, anyone?)

Just sweet

Aren't the antler lights kind of fun?

"Look lovingly at each other...."

Me and DH

B, S, her brother M, and her father and stepmother made the wine and bottled it as favors. Impressive!

The morning after

It's silly, but I still get a kick out of Feathernester and Mr. Feathernester being parents. Clearly they have done an excellent job so far, because L. is one of the happiest babies I've ever seen.

So there you have it! We had a wonderful weekend, and I'm just sorry that I didn't get many pictures of the Ouisers, and that some friends couldn't make it. I don't think I'd ever been to Canandaigua before, and I know I want to go again for a weekend. It's quite close and I think we might need to do some exploring.... Although right now in this era of high gas prices we might also do more "staycations", as a lot of people have had to do. I suppose this just gives us a chance to explore our own city and what it has to offer, right?

But I digress, as I tend to do. Wrap-up: The wedding allowed me to relax, see great and close friends, dance like crazy, and see two people I love get married. What more could I ask for?
