J and K's wedding, Part 3

Father and son. The morning of...

 There is a story to the shirts.  "Pig" is a term of endearment among the Pinckney men and they all have t-shirts (made by Thomas and Kay) that say Pig Crew and have a piggy nickname on the back. 

 Obviously, some people looked better than others the morning of the wedding!

Remember those Daughter/Granddaughter dresses. 

I am a very thankful, blessed mother.  I love this picture of my six but I keep wondering when they got so OLD!  (Thomas 21, Joel 15, Jonathan 24, Erin 26, Andrew 19, and Matthew 17)

Central Park Chapel...what a lovely little church, open air and just down the street from the lake.  Simple and lovely with saris draped from the rafters.

Jonathan and Kandyce were driven away from the church in this beautifully restored Model T.  Sweet!

J and K at the reception....

and their first dance.

I have such happy memories of the wedding weekend....

Full moon over the lake when we arrived; visiting with J and K the next morning and laughing as the sprinkler system on the front lawn turned on and sprayed Kandyce and Kay as we sat outside opening presents; seeing Kathy again for the first time since last summer in India; decorating the mansion and seeing Luke pitch in to hang saris; cute, cute little ones lured down the aisle with bubbles and then during the wedding the ring bearer shooting off his nerf dart gun and hitting one of the bridesmaids (oops!); people dancing on the lawn and learning the Bollywood dance to Jai Ho at the rehearsal dinner and later at the lake house; Gordon friends playing cards on the big old porch by the lake; fires outside in the fire pit every night; meeting Tom "Trouble with a Big Heart" Kingsley for the first time - what a delight to get to know him and Tyler; chauffering my mom and dad and driving along Lake Michigan in the evening and seeing the sun set over the lake and a lone boat making it's way over the water; meeting Dave at Scooter's Pizza and ordering for a big crowd; the flaming lotus candle from Bapatla - a surprise repeat from last year's engagement party in India; Erin's help making pies; seeing Jonathan's smile as his bride walked down the aisle; feeling the tears start to well up as he spoke his vows; seeing Daryl's slideshow with childhood photos of J and K; saris and candles and Egyptian lanterns;  so many family members all together - a rare treat!  So much laughter.  Such a sweet time.
