Congratulations, Paul and Maureen!

Paul and Maureen got married last month in a beautiful ceremony in Kyle near Austin, Texas.

We drove out to join them for the ceremony and spend some time with the family in Austin.

The Thursday before the ceremony we celebrated Uncle Roger's 70th birthday (as well as Dev's 36th).

The following day we went to visit the wedding venue and rehearse the ceremony while the kids played.

Then the ladies (and Arthur) went to get their nails done before the rehearsal dinner.

The day of the wedding Beatrice and Rosemary went to the salon to get their hair done.

 

I don't want to post too many of Paul and Maureen's professional wedding photos in case they want to do so themselves, but I have to share a few highlights.

 

Beatrice and Arthur got to be "flower children" in the ceremony, and Dev officiated. (We gave William a basket of flower petals, too, but he just immediately dumped all of them over his head.)  Mina and James did a beautiful duet and Julie gave a winning toast.

In between all the wedding events, we also found time to just hang out with everyone.

And then, back home! Congratulations, Maureen and Paul, on a truly excellent wedding.
