Austin, TX

The main reason for this trip - the wedding of Jacque and Jordan!!!! We got there Wednesday evening so we could help with preparations on Thursday and Friday. The rest of the family got there at various times on Thursday and Friday. We all stayed in a great air BNB about three minutes from Jacque's house. Jordan's family was about 10 minutes away. The wedding was immediate families only in their backyard. Jacque, ever the planner, was so organized. Friday evening was a families getting to know you night with Franklin barbecue - the best! It was a very casual evening at their house with lots of conversations, playing with kids, and pre celebrating. Jordan has a great family. Saturday, Jacque, Jodi, and Mom went for hair and makeup and the guys from both families played laser tag! (Selina and Liz tried out the popcorn maker!) And then it was wedding time. It was a beautiful service officiated by Jodi, followed by a taco dinner, some dancing, and an after party at a nearby bar. We were supposed to go to brunch on Sunday, but there was so much leftover food, we had breakfast nachos at Jacques, compliments of Josh and Selina. Jodi and Jim headed to the airport first, followed by Jason and Selina (though their flight was delayed). Josh and Liz weren't flying out until Mon morning so we took the opportunity to meet up with and have dinner with Liz's parents who we had never met and who live in Texas. It was great to finally get to meet these wonderful people. After dropping off Josh and Liz we headed to college station, the start of our extended trip home. The wedding was beautiful, and family time is precious, but it all goes by so fast! Czytaj więcej
