Well, the September long weekend I headed down to Vancouver for my cousin Linette's wedding. The first of the grandchildren on my mom's side to get married, it was a much anticipated affair and did not disappoint. The whole weekend was a blast!
As part of the wedding party I got to get pampered by getting a manicure and a pedicure Friday afternoon. (My first manicure ever - I didn't know my hands could look that nice!) Then Saturday morning my cousin Melissa did my hair and makeup. Us girls got a lift in a limo to the ceremony (with rocking tunes - thanks mononcle!) stood up for a couple "I dos", posed for a few photos and then got fed an amazing meal and danced until we shut the hall down. Linette looked beautiful, and it was an honor to get to spend the night before her wedding with her, just hanging out.
Typically, I think it's supposed to be the bride and groom who get showered with gifts, but neither my sister nor I went home empty handed. Both toting heirloom pieces and beautiful handmade quilts we made out like bandits! Thanks Meme for the quilt you made for me.
I also got to spend a fair bit of time with my Grandma on my dad's side which continues to be a blessing to me. She's such a remarkable lady and I think the older I get, the cooler I think she is. She joined us at the gift opening the next day, and then challenged me at cards until about 1 am, when I finally had to call it quits. Maybe next time you'll beat me Gram.
