we have had the privilege of seeing two of our nieces get married in the last 7 months. what beautiful brides, handsome grooms, and fun weddings they each had...
i'm not sure they read my little blog [highly doubt it], but i hope they don't mind me sharing a few details and images from these amazing events--

last june, ONL [my sister's daughter] took the plunge in atlanta. it was a beautiful outdoor event--complete with a seated dinner, fun dancing [well, it was where i learned The Cupid Shuffle!...now i am a 'hit' at all the hip parties...teehee], and yummy bite size desserts. the veil was actually worn by my mother [i think. correction: it was new for my sister], my sister, and myself.
last month, ONA [MHD's sister's daughter] was married in driftwood texas, just outside of austin. it was quite the university of texas event since she was once a captain of the pom squad and the groom was on the football team! the beautiful ceremony was to be outside but as they were faced with downpours, plan b went into action--which was equally as wonderful. they, too, had dinner, dancing [we all were cuttin' a rug], and fun was had by all of MHD's extensive extended family.

now as an added bonus--an action shot of my son and his cousins gettin' jiggy wit it--
...and such cute pics of 'the boys'
...and i can't leave out MDE
and lastly, a funny one--
MDE and her aunt were the cake servers. however, trying to cut and plate cake for 350 people can take a while. with the line to get cake growing, the mother of the bride [my sister in law] seemed stressed by the fact that it was slow going. so i jumped in to help. problem was--i had been dancing...and i mean, dancing! so i was super sweaty. it didn't help that we were frantically trying to plate cake. well, someone wanted to take our pic serving the cake...
so here is the 'before' pic
