Ed & Maria's Wedding

While visiting Seattle, I was able to attend Edward & Maria's wedding on the weekend after my arrival. Ed is my nephew. The weather was nice during the ceremony, but it soured a bit later that day during the reception. The wedding ceremony was wonderful. Everyone had a magnificent time at the reception. It was nice to see everyone enjoying a family celebration, especially after our tragic loss of a beloved family member last February.

The following are photos from this unforgettable day. I think I managed to include at least a photo of each and every family member, except for the ever elusive Jen. I could not even find her in the group photo inside the church.

Ed & Maria reciting their vows to each other.
