Chrysti's Big Day

We were thrilled to be able to attend Chrysti and Leon's wedding and see Aaron's parents and other extended family. The happy couple make a darling pair, and the evening was a sweet celebration of their union as well as a send-off. Chrysti will be moving over to the UK to join Leon where he has been living and working for a couple of years as an IT guy for an international missions organization.
Will was very excited to see Grandpa and Gigi! And we had fun introducing him to several great-aunts, uncles and cousins that he had never met. Here's Aaron with his cousin Candace.
It was great to have so many extra hands to help entertain Will. Aaron and I were grateful for the chance to dance together...
Though it was different from any other dancing we've done at any other wedding we've been to before. Yes, that's right, we busted a move doing English Country line dancing. Think classical music and scenes straight out of a PBS Jane Austen movie. A caller explained the steps and guided us through the whole dance, pivoting and turning us down two straight lines. It really was a blast! We felt so civilized... don't let this picture fool you!
By this point Will was pretty tuckered out. He would vacillate between almost falling asleep in Gigi's arms to running around the dance floor trying to catch the disco ball's reflected lights.
Here's a cousins picture with the happy couple. Congratulations Chrysti & Leon!
