David and I traveled to Richmond, VA this past weekend to attend his cousin's wedding. Terrance and Jennifer got married on a BRISK fall day in Virginia. It was great to see all the family and despite the cold, the wedding was a blast. The bride and groom seem a perfect match. The details were lovely from the goodie baskets to the couture gown to the pashminas and flip flops. However, nothing outshined the smiles on Terrance and Jen's faces.
The reception was held at the botanical gardens in Richmond. Nobody could have foreseen that the temperature would drop as it did this weekend. Most people had to wear their coats as we sat for dinner because the tent just didn't serve as much of a barricade. I don't think the bride and groom even noticed. And after awhile, I think most people forgot about the cold and just danced the night away. David and I got to sit at the "older cousins" table. I told him my face hurt (yep I'm waiting for the line) from smiling so much. They were hysterical. Jack and Lily stayed behind with Grandma in Rochester. They were perfectly content and a little sad to leave Grandma.
My pictures didn't turn out that great and I'm disappointed that I missed some people and don't even have a decent shot of the bride and groom together. Oh well.
These are the "Prom Pictures" ...

Man I wish one of the kids had gotten his blue eyes!
The Lovely Bride (she is wearing Carolina Herrera, drool)
David, his cousin Terrance (the groom) and his cousin Colleen
Toni always says she doesn't take great pictures. I think she is lying.
David and The Other Dave looking mighty spiffy
This is David's Uncle Warren (Dave's brother) entertaining the table. That family likes to bust chops and trust me, you can tell they are brothers.
I know they look pretty sophisticated here...engaged in conversation and donning their suits. Don't be fooled though. (just kidding!)
No, they are not in Tehran. They're waiting for the taxi and trying to keep warm.
Thanks for the fun!

You've got a good-looking family there, David. I've got to take issue with something you said, though, Car. Though I agree that Mr. Archer, Esq. does have some fantabulous blue eyes, I can't imagine Jack and Lily with anything other than those beautiful, warm, happy eyes that no doubt came courtesy from their mother.
Glad you all had fun, and a safe trip.
