Becca & Mark's Wedding

We had the privilege of witnessing and celebrating Becca and Mark's Wedding, where Sophia and J gained an Uncle and we gained a brother-in-law.


A week's worth of pre-wedding festivities included:


Time for all eight cousins, from three states and multiple time zones, to be together,


an evening out for the sisters and sister-in-laws,


and picking the flowers for all the bouquets and vases at a local flower farm.


The morning of the wedding, the ladies in the bridal party had their hair done,


as well as manicures and pedicures.


When she wasn't keeping an eye on the bride,


Sophia was entertaining the bridesmaids.


Aunt Becca surprised her with her first....


pair of magnetic earrings.


And cousin Anna helped her with some finishing touches before they headed upstairs for their official duties.

The handsome gentlemen that accompanied me:


The Bridal Party:


And the original crew plus the newest addition.

Every summer we travel to Salem, Ohio for the Schaeffer family reunion.




This year we went an additional five hours west to visit friends Stan and Mary who had moved to Indiana.
