Setting Up for the Reception

On the day before Matt and Ashley’s wedding, all of the families came together for the setup in my parents’ back yard. Everyone worked really hard including Hunter who strung up lights with the guys, and Emma who was Nana’s “personal assistant.”

    You got some really great pictures that captured the day perfectly. It makes me feel tired and happy just looking at them. I especially love the shot of Nana and Kate and the hula dancers…classic.

    Good for you, now if only I knew what was happening, or who these people are.

    What a wonderfully perfect day! I loved seeing all the family working together on their projects. I sure hope the wedding went off as nicely as the preparation, no doubt it did. Sorry to hear about your Mom’s swollen ankles, something I can well relate to – just not fun at all. Can’t wait to see more pictures!
