I can't remember the last time, prior to this year, that I have been to a wedding, probably not since my own!! Funny thing, this year, we went to two of them! In June Uncle Scott and Aunt Rachel got married in Indiana, and last weekend Pat, Jocelyn and I attended the wedding of my dear friend and Jocelyn's adopted Auntie Erica. The wedding was held outside of Harrisburg, PA, and the setting was absolutely gorgeous! Erica had hoped for an outdoor fall wedding complete with foliage and the like, and she got it, perfectly. The only thing that would have been nice is another 10-15 degrees!!

Jocelyn was in Erica's wedding as a flower girl along with two other little ones, and knowing that we would need a cooperative, happy child, we planned ahead as much as we could. We left home at nap time and brought snacks for her to have before the wedding. She DID NOT sleep in the car, and she DID NOT want to eat. We thought for sure that we were doomed, but we underestimated the wonderful child we have! She was the only one of the three that walked happily down the isle (with the handhold of her new friend Elena, the junior bridesmaid), and was content to sit with Elena through the whole wedding! Pat and I were then free to watch our friends get married, reminisce a bit about our own wedding, and not worry about Jocelyn.

After the wedding, we took advantage of the beautiful setting to take some pictures of our own.

This is my absolute favorite! |
Erica and Mark are now on their honeymoon on the other side of the world! But we are SOOO happy for them both! Congrats to Auntie Erica and Uncle Mark!!
