| We were unable to attend either of the weddings
this summer. Mike and Michelle were married on June 18, and Dave and
Erin were married on July 31. Both are sons of my brother Jake and his
wife Linda. |
We teased my brother Jake. Three of my brothers were married the summer that he and Lina were married. Since Jake has another son, we were wondering whether there would be three weddings in his family this summer. | ||
Jake assured us that he had no intention of carrying on that tradition. |
My sister Jeanette wrote a summary of Mike and
Michelle's wedding for us. Mike and Michelle Photographer Unknown |
First, Mike and Michelle's wedding on June
18th... It was a beautiful evening. We went for the wedding and then we went to Stillwater to ride on a Paddle boat for the reception. I think we pulled away from the dock around 9 pm and returned about 12. We relaxed and cruised along. There was a buffet and head table on the maindeck and then there was more seating up on the second level. We just went down and helped ourselves. You could walk around outside on the deck on both levels. . . . front and back. You could sit out there too. It was very enjoyable and something none of us had ever done before. Even Mom and Dad had a fun time. I am sure they were tired when they got back to their home the next day. It was a long weekend for them. It was so special of them to make the trip and allow Mike and Michelle and David and Erin to have them pictured in their wedding albums. It will be a special treasure for them. |
| Dave and Erin's wedding was on July 31st. (Written by Jeanette, also.) |
So, I didn't give you very much information on Dave
and Erin's wedding. Well, it was very beautiful. Mom, Dad, and George came down to the cities. We got them to the church in time for pictures. We had lots of fun. They rode in a horse drawn carriage. It was really neat. The reception was buffet style and very good. Then they also had a band to play for the dance. What fun. Erin's father played and sang in the band. It was so good to have had the shower here so we could get to know some of the close relatives before the wedding. |

| On June 15th, my mother-in-law, Mae Briggs, passed
away after an illness of only a few days. She lived in her own home
although she had a caregiver living with her. |

All these pictures were taken by one of Mae's two daughters, Marie Dooley or Margaret Durbin. |
