My niece's wedding in Chicago!

We were honored to be able to go to the rehearsal dinner which was held at a wonderful new Thai restaurant. The food was totally the best Thai food I have ever had and I think everyone agreed! Here is the BRIDE!! Stephanie with Amanda.......





Dan and Paul...brother of the bride and FOB!


Scott and Stephanie....the happy bride and groom on their last night of singlehood!Steve and Pam....He: "My dear would like some SAKI??" She:"What are ya....nuts!"Brothers.....Evan getting sleepy and finally holding still!!! My sweet and wonderful brothers....David and Steve.Pam and Amanda...two very special ladies!I guess you all know who these two are!! The next day we finally headed to the wedding dressed in our best! Here is my lovely and sweet niece Becca and her proud dad! This was what he would have worn when he was to have walked Becca down the aisle...but instead was in the hospital after a heart attack and major surgery. Paul walked Becca down the aisle at her wonderful outdoor wedding. We are so glad that David was at this wedding....and the rest of them to come! Who will be next??Becca, David and his son Nathan...Us.....Amanda, Pam and Steve...looking so sharp!Paul and Judith looking very, very nice!The wedding was held upstairs from a bar...but the space was sooo charming. Gorgeous flowers and votive candles all over. It really was lovely. The ceremony was pretty traditional for non traditional Stephanie! She looked beautiful! There were about 100 people there...and after the wedding, the chairs were cleared away and the reception was held right there. The ceremony was very meaningful and sweet and the reception was lots of fun. Thanks Becca for the two pics from your camera! She took this one and is a great photographer!



Steph and Amanda. Steph is a published author of two young adult books. So proud of her!! And Amanda is one of her biggest fans! Loves her books...read the new one straight through in the car coming back from the wedding! We all got our copies there...and I will be reading it soon!My cousin Anne was there with her husband Randy. It was SOOOO good to see her again! All of us kids grew up with Anne and her sisters Sally and Wendy and we share lots of memories that no one else has! I love these girls....and miss you guys so much. We need to do a reunion!!Sweet and silly Amanda....took my camera and took some great pics with it. Thanks Amanda...you were such a pleasure to be with!Receiving line fun.....Scott and Stephanie.....The food was plentiful and totally delicious!

The vegan cupcakes were the best I have EVER had....people on Facebook are still talking about them!
