A Wedding Without a Camera

This weekend I went to a wedding without a camera in hand. It was a strange experience being empty handed at the wedding. The wedding I'm talking about was for my brother Rick and his new wife Karen. They were married on July 5, 2008. It was a beautiful day. They said their vows under a grove of trees on Rick's (and now Karen's) property. Afterwards we all went over to the Glen Loch Mill for an afternoon outdoor reception on the shores of the creek. It was a lot of fun spending time with friends and family I hadn't seen in a long time.

The day after the wedding, my cousin Lisa, hosted her annual picnic. She and her husband own a dairy farm. Every year right around July 4th, they host a picnic for all of their friends and neighbors. I've had a standing invitation but it is a little too far to travel. This year since I was in town for Rick's wedding, I decided I had to be at the picnic. It was a lot of fun with hay rides, good food and most importantly family.
