Wedding Weekend for Maria's Family

Maria getting the flower girl ready. She likes the sandals, not the new wedding shoes.
The Ewersmann gals arrive at the church just in time.
Michael and Carrie's wedding party. Chris is best man; Maria is bridesmaid on left, her sister Laura next to her, and Carrie's two sisters.

The Arizona Camachos just after the wedding Saturday afternoon.

A close-up. That's a classic Makenna tongue-in-mouth sideways pose.

Aunt Carrie, who'd love to steal away her little niece Makenna, and Chris

The bride and groom walk out of church amidst the bubbles blown by relatives and friends.

The Dede Family: Tony and Carrie, Blake, Cora, Hannah and Nolan

Grandma Ginny and Poppo Mario enjoyed taking charge of Makenna Saturday night so the parents and aunt and uncle and cousins can visit and have a few twirls on the dance floor. Rumor has it Chris still has his old dance moves from younger days. :o)

The Dede kids blow bubbles on the side yard after the wedding.

The wedding party. (Maria, far left, Chris and Makenna 5th from right.) Congratulations to Carrie and Michael.
Dad teaching his little girl how to blow bubbles. She caught on quickly.

Delighted.

Watching the bubbles float high in the air.

Cora and Hannah at the reception. Lots of chocolate kisses to enjoy.

It's reciprocal. Blake loves Grandma too.

Chris, the best man and greeter, gives the toast describing Michael as "a good catch," a reference from our family about him.

Cousin buddies.

She squints her eyes at me on purpose just for fun.

Father and son. See any resemblance? I don't. They both did a lot of fishing over the weekend in the Ewersmann's pond behind their house and caught some nice ones. Like father, like son in that regard.

Warming up the dance floor at last.

Cora, Hannah and Nolan were on the dance floor too.

Cora got a dollar dance with the groom.

We had a little slow dance before we left with Makenna.

Blake stayed in our room and was helpful Sunday morning. Mario went fishing, so Blake helped me get Makenna ready for 11:00 church. They laugh and laugh. Blake will be a good daddy someday.
After mass, and before lunch is ready, (Paul and Rita always have wonderful and plentiful meals when we are there), Mario's job is to entertain. He has the bride, her mom, and her sister engaged with his card tricks.


It's so simple. Let's try it again....

Ay Yi Yi. Well lunch is ready, so a good time to break. It was a great weekend, and we are grateful for the hospitality of the Ewersmanns. Safe travels to Michael and Carrie as they honeymoon in Hawaii.
