Days Before the Big Day

I just got back from spending 6 days in Vail, Colorado for the wedding of my brother in law.  To say that these past few days have been nothing but love filled and fun filled would be an understatement.  

The celebrations began at 5 pm last Thursday on the pool deck at our hotel, the Vail Cascade Resort.  This was a great way for everyone to meet and mingle, I finally got the chance to meet my soon to be sister in law's parents.  A wedding is one of the few events in our life where we have all our friends and family together celebrating, so make it big!

Friday morning, while the boys were off golfing the girls were at a luncheon honoring the bride.

Friday evening, a rehearsal dinner at Sonnenalp...

me with my family celebrating (minus Scarlett who stayed home with grandma)

and the happy groom.  I hold Jerry near and dear to my heart.  I have always bonded with him and we can talk about everything.  

and here is my cute father in law toasting the bride and groom.  I want to leave you with the words he said Friday night that brought tears to my eyes

To quote Dionne Warwick,  "without your love, I have nothing at all"...
