Summer Weddings

The summer of 2010 has been a wedding filled season. We were not able to make many of the weddings due to our continued tough work schedule but I do want to congratulate our friends Anna & John and Teddy & Dorothy whose weddings we had to miss. I also hated to miss my cousin Hannah and her now husband Stefan's wedding on June 26th. I really wanted to be there since we have always been close and essentially grew-up together but between the 20 hour flight and the work schedule in the PICU it wasn't able to happen. Congratulations also to them and stay tuned for pics from her wedding at the end (I'm living vicariously through pictures).

Luckily and with much advanced planning we were able to fly out to Los Angeles to celebrate our friends' India and Britt's wedding day! I love that our college group has made it a priority to stay in touch and to be there for all of each others' important events. I could not miss the opportunity to cry at first seeing the beautiful bride and dancing at her wedding. The bride was gorgeous as expected, the groom handsome, the food and company excellent, and we had a great time. We also got visit Dean Joel's and Professor Morgan's brand new beautiful downtown L.A. apartment and got the royal Beverly Hills tour prior to the wedding. Thanks for the hospitality and congrats to the newlyweds!!

The church service which included the bride walking in to "Sweet Child o' Mine," a reading from part of a court case, and a dad who almost refused to give his daughter away (who can blame him :). Loved the personal touch.

Ducks on the wedding cake -- what a wonderful India touch!

And a few pictures from another wedding I wish I'd been at. At least my mom and sister represented the Weikard family.
