Jen Henry's Wedding

This weekend we had such a great time going to Nova Scotia for Jen's wedding! (Nat- it also made me sad that I missed yours because I was so sick:( Anyways- what a great party! It was totally Jen and AJ style- the guys all wore brown sweaters- only AJ had a collar under his- and all the bridesmaids wore cotton brown summer dresses- so sweet!
Jennifer looked so gorgeous in a 3/4 lenth strapless dress and white flip flops! (Fashion File or what?:) Her dad and grampie walked her down the aisle, and pastor AJ who was also dressed casually did the wedding.
After they were pronounced husband and wife everyone cheered! It was awesome, and sooo nice to be at this sweet friend's special day! Scott and I love them both, and love them together- it was a real joy to see them get hitched!:)
After the wedding they had great food- BBQ chicken, roasted potatoes, salads, and then warm cider and fruit trays for dessert! Oh and skittles were the wedding favors- I switched some of mine with Graeme's- don't tell:)
They had Anthony Liberatore was the MC, and he introduced all the speeches and also all the different people who played music- it was very coffee house style. Scott and I sang "Such Great Heights" and "So Happy Together", both of which we sang at our wedding last summer- awwww:).
It was also great to see people who I haven't seen for ages- and catch up with some old friends!
Scott and I sat at a table with Graeme and Diana Higgs, Nick and Jessica Miller and their son, and Nick's brother Luke.
I also got to catch up with Dave and Jonathan Bryant, Naomi Hunter (Maid of Honor) and her boyfriend Matt, Jen Spencer (Bridesmaid), Owen, and Nathan and Erin Doucette (Erin and I went to High School together) and Scott was glad to catch up with friends Bryan Weins (they were friends since grade 3) and his girlfriend Sasha, and Dan Freeman. And, of course, it was awesome to see Jen and AJ- so in love, and commiting their lives to each other! Yeah for love!:)
So, after chatting it up- listening to some great live music, eating yummy food and seeing two of our friends married in a beautifully simple wedding that was totally them, we headed to the Kohler's for the night and then drove home this morning. BUT not before a quick visit to see our good friends Matt and Christine Walsh and their babes in Fall River! It was SO nice to see them and get to just visit with them for a while. We really miss our valley friends!:( So all in all- we had a wonderful visit home- though not quite long enough, enough time for a short visit with Scott's parents and my Nanny! Well- so you're dying to see some photos- so here's the gallery- enjoy!:

Man, if blog pictures tell the whole story, it really does look like I own ONE shirt :-) Or maybe I like that ONE shirt so much, I bought seven of them. Great pics.

Hi Dee. I enjoy reading your updates from time to time. I first navigated to your blog by a convoluted route including Sonya's and the Walshes'. At any rate, I had an idea about the profile picture that you mentioned, which is indeed the hardest part of blogging. (And why, I ask you?!) Try posting a picture to your blog as normal, perhaps backdating the post if you don't want it on your line-up just at the moment. Then visit the post and right click the image to copy the image's URL. Then use that URL in the profile page.

Blessings, sarah.

(PS. Nate and Erin actually took eachothers names so their legal last name is Elliot-Doucet. Cool huh?)
