Post wedding reception

In April a family friend got married and since he is currently stationed on Hawaii, and his new wife is from Hawaii they had the ceremony there. Now never mind that we were not invited, we have all gotten past that, but we were invited to the surprise reception here in Texas. Matt’s mom went all out for the Texas style Bar-B-Q for her new daughter-in-law. The newlywed’s acted surprised just for mom, since someone (Ben) spilled the beans. Apparently when I told him it was a surprise he tuned that out, oh well they did a good job at showing the surprise and made his mom very happy.

So there was Bar-B-Q, cake and remembering of old times. Or in his case just a few years ago times, since he’s not that old to be able to have old times. But life in the military does change ones perspective, so for now, we can give him at least one extra year of wisdom. Any more would be just too much, but I won’t go into that here.

I let Isabelle have her way with the camera and take some pictures of the guests, and I was very happy to see that I did not get a whole lot of knees in the shots. I did take over when it was time for cake and toasting, because we really did not want to have overly sharp or high angled shots, of people standing up, since she is just about too everyone tummy.

I think everyone had fun and we wish the happy couple a long and happy marriage.
