Last weekend, Will and I traveled to Pennsylvania for my cousin Samantha's wedding. Even though we were sad Aaron wasn't able to be with us, we had a wonderful time celebrating the happy couple among our extended family. I was priviledged to be the Matron of Honor alongside my sister Kate, who was the Maid of Honor. The other bridesmaid was the groom's twin sister. Samantha's aunts, my mom and Aunt Jodie, hosted the bridesmaids tea at a beautiful historic home in Lititz, Pa on Friday morning.
The weather was absolutely lovely for the first day of wedding festivities, and set the tone for a beautiful weekend. Here are the hostesses with the bride.
With such a small bridal party, the tea was really intimate and we were all able to share a table and good conversation, as both sides of the family got to know each other a little better.
Murphy, the homeowner who also served as our waiter, took this group shot. He was quite the talker, but had a great sense of humor and kept all of us thoroughly entertained.
His sweet wife made all of the incredible food! The scones were to die for, and the chocolate cake... a little slice of heaven.
Afterwards, we took some family pictures in the gardens. Here's the list... Mom (Aunt Joyce), Aunt Janie (Samantha's mom), Grandma, Samantha, Hannah (Jodie's daughter), Kate, Aunt Jodie (Janie's sister), and me.
And of course all of the various combination shots, including three generations and moms and daughters. These sorts of pictures are the hallmark of any big event in our family. I love it!
And of course, all of the girl cousins...
With a silly shot added in for good measure!

Paige, I love the collages of the photos! How do you do that?? Hope you are all doing well. Getting excited for the big move? NC sounds like heaven compared to hot and nasty FL right now...
Hey Lindsey!
I use Picasa. You can download it for free and it's super easy to use. It's the program that actually already stores all the photos you upload to Blogger. (I learned this thanks to a patient friend who continues to clue me in on blogging know-how!) And yes, I'm ready for cooler weather, too!
The tea and girl's night was so much fun. Thanks for sharing the pics. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family. Miss you all!
