Saturday, August 25 – Wedding Reception

The pretty wedding cake

I was taking this picture – and standing next to the cake – when they announced that Donovan and Diana would be cutting the cake. Every now and then I am at the right place at the right time.

These two agreed ahead of time that there would be no cake-smashing. 🙂

The girls

The guys and Lauree. (She moved to the guys end of the table to be near Nate.) Nate, you know when you make a face at me, that is how you will look on the picture. 🙂

People began visiting at the end of the reception and I took pictures of a few friends and family.

Roy and Deb (no flash)

With a flash

Our pretty little Jade – slept through most of the reception.

Cynthia Forry and I met here for the first time. We have been blog friends since Xanga days – probably 10-12 years. About a year ago we discovered that we were connected through Donovan and Diana. Cynthia is Donovan’s aunt and I am Diana’s grandma.

Somebody wanted a photo of our four children, so I took advantage of the pose.

Great-grandma Hershey talking to Jana and Josh

I was trying to remember why Abby was holding her guest gift up for me to see. But I think it was because I wanted a picture with Anthony – for a family picture – and he didn’t want to be held – so she held that up. 🙂

Anthony showing me the first letter in his name.

Dan was in charge of sound

This was my final photo shot of their special day.

Blessings upon blessing to you two as you begin a lifetime together.
