Another Cousin Wedding

ON September 1 my cousin Jessica got married... hard to believe that we are all 'technically' old enough to be getting married, like all of our parents did at this age! Woof! But, before I show you pictures of that, I have this AWESOME one of my Nanny... doing her hair in the kitchen before the wedding... The very best part is that she is knitting a stocking. Now it's important for you to understand the significance... Nanny has knit ALL of her 4 children and their spouses (3) and ALL of the grandchildren (10) one of these stockings... and now, in the last year and a 1/2 she has been knitting stockings for the new generation of in-laws (now 3)!! Awe :)

Another thing is that there are a bunch of new windmills on our cape. Right now there are 11, but eventually, they are going to put up 51!! It's smart though... PEI is one of the windiest places on earth! They are sorta pretty and sorta ugly all at the same time -but they are HUGE!

Anyway, Jess and Mitchell's wedding day was fun! We had all of us cousins in attendance except for Janna (this picture is missing all the Ellis girls cause they were in the wedding party and hadn't yet made their appearance! Speaking of appearances, here is Jess right after her's! She and Mitchell were listening to the special music. I think Jess was just gorgeous that day (well, everyday!) but seriously she was a beautiful bride! Mitchell looked pretty proud of her :) It was a great wedding, with only one glitch (Mitchell's grampa wasn't feeling so good... there was a bit of an intermission -which I think I might schedule into my wedding down the road, just enough of a breather to realize "oh dang! I'm getting married right now!" and take it all in :D)

We got to take a whole Ellis Family Photo, which was great -again, only missing Janna. Dad was doing pop-a-wheelies with Pappy's wheelchair -I think he only found it funny for the fist 2 :P

After the wedding, while the wedding party was doing pictures, the fam all went back to the farm for a lobster lunch :) mmm... It was Krista's first time having Lobster -not too sure what she thought of it, she said she liked it, but I imagine it will be something that grows on her over time! But it was yummy for the rest of us -Pappy enjoyed himself, of course... awe... look at him, I love this man.

Then we were off to the reception in Summerside... speeches, dancing, cake, laughing, gifts, people, corny jokes, good food, and of course, the same almond butter crunch candy that all of our mothers have made forever -it is now the official "favor" at all cousin weddings to date :) I made all of us 'remaining' single cousins make a pact that there would be no more weddings in our family for another 2 years minimum!! -we've had 3 in a year and a 1/2 -woof!!

Congratulations You Two!! :) Mitchell, Welcome to our crazy and dysfunctional family :) Now bring on the great grandchildren, right Jess?? ;)
