Me & my cousin, the groom!
Festivities took up the entire weekend (and are still going -- brunch @ 1pm!), but I have no complaints because I got to see A LOT of family that I don't catch up with nearly enough. I have a very large family, and my aunts, uncles, cousins are spread out across the country, so while every Christmas is a solid reunion, it doesn't quite do our numbers justice.
Me & my new cousin-in-law, the bride!
Last night we took family photos at the hotel, but even though I brought my camera, I couldn't work it with a glass of wine in one hand so I let the hired professional photographers do their magic, and will just copy something from facebook later. I did take a few pictures at the reception, but probably not nearly enough to show just how much fun we had drinking & dancing the night away.
Me & my sister!
Cousin, me & my other sister!
I think the most important part of the evening was when I caught the bouquet. And when I say caught, I mean bulldozed a bridesmaid to get it..
Look at that manic look of triumph. Victory is mine!!
The bride told me that at the last family wedding, she had caught the bouquet, so I think securing these roses means we all can be certain who's wedding is next:
