A Wedding!

Paul's sister Laura is a newlywed - she and Emil got married on May 26th, 2012. They had a lovely, informal wedding at their house.

It was a rather hot day. But they provided us shade.

They had a nice set-up for food. (LOTS of food.)

My little contribution:

You might have noticed in one of the pictures above the lovely arbor that Emil made for the occasion.

Toby and Lexi were excited to have all this activity.

Really, they were. But they had to rest a bit because of the heat.
