What's great about going to Rebecca's family weddings, is that it's a great opportunity for a family reunion. All her father's cousin show up and it's a blast to reacquaint yourself with the family. Another great bonus, is that they know how to throw a great party and are extremely hospitable.The ceremony was led by Cousin Sarah, Raleigh's daughter. We all missed Raleigh tremendously on this day and will always remember the rainy "rehearsal dinners" she always hosted. Perhaps it's a good luck charm. Needless to say, Raleigh was not forgotten on Saturday, as Sarah brought her legacy into the ceremony. Sarah is a new mom, and Edrick, her four month old son, was the life of the celebration as well. A true depiction of how life comes full circle.
Edrick immediately took to his younger cousins, as they cooed and fussed over him right before the ceremony. 
He's such a joyous little one!
He's such a joyous little one!
Even Robert was tickled by Edrick sleeping so peacefully in his arms, while mom was having a photo shoot.
The ceremony began with Catherine's brother, Bill Hewlitt, playing acoustic guitar and her cousin Betsy playing the violin. This is traditional for our family. It's a great touch and fabulous rhythm!
Sarah presented Catherine to Robert in such a way that was honorable, romantic, and spiritual all at once. The vows were similar to ours, as the foundation was borrowed from Sarah's wedding over 4 years ago.
Lauren, Catherine's daughter, looked beautiful in her tailored-made, sage green dress. And Catherine was radiant in her wedding gown, her design. It's hard to imagine Lauren grown up into a mature woman, after seeing her skiing competitions at 13 and having her give her first toast at her graduation party. She is a delight to behold!
