Then it was time to make the excursion to Maryland for a wedding just as we'd done for
Betsy and Matt in August, 2000
Emily and Jim in April, 2004
and for
Erin and Greg in September, 2004 (though this wedding was not in Maryland) .
But this time, we were off to Ellen and Brian's wedding once we could get past the people working on our bathrooms
and load the trunk
as Ben brought out his bag for the car
so that we could go by the high school
where we ran into the St. Patrick's Day kid
and a few friends of Jane
as we noted that it was wheels up time (plus 3 minutes)
as Jane joined us
and we could stop for a shamrock cookie to mark the date
before driving onward through the Pennsylvania Turnpike until we could enter traffic south of Harrisburg
as Suzanne
and I
hoped we would get to downtown Taneytown
and see its traffic light
before Ben
and Jane and Suzanne
took our welcoming pictures before we caught up with Toba and Andy who were to be our hosts
once we found the Antrim 1844 house
and entered
so that this gentleman could sign us in
and then we could be led to our room
by this gentleman
who demo'ed the bathroom
and the main room
before Ben explored the ladder to the famous George Meade viewing space
where Sarah stood (though she didn't seem to be surveying the troups).
The kids room was equally elegant with this bed for the girls
and this one for Ben
complete with a sign to let us know if they were in
and their goodie bag
as Jane put on her new hair band
and we captured images of the famous Antrim soap (in various lightings)
before the kids posed
as did their parents
and we paid our respects to the old man
before we went to the rehearsal dinner where we met Bonnie and Larry
before Emily appeared with Bonnie
and we could find our way to the table where the 3 wives sat
as this barmaid
poured me a glass of Riesling
and the kids settled in at the table
while Dick arrived
so that we could take pictures of those assembled at our table -- Jane, Sarah, Ben
Dick, Jane, Sarah,
Suzanne, Janet
David, Larry
David, Larry, Dick
and Bonnie, Fran, Suzanne
which made us hungry
and so, happy to have food from the buffet
as Sarah and Ben
and Jane and Sarah
enjoyed their meals as Barbara and Eric arrived and posed with Dick
before Janet befriend Bob and Carol who now live in Muncie, Indiana
and we returned to the table to see Dick, Penny and Jane
as Ben enjoyed his food
and we admired the centerpiece
while cousin Toby, the one from the Klein side, passed by
and this photographer took our picture
which seemed to amuse Bonnie and Fran
as my profile captured Larry and Dick
and Dick and Penny chatted
as Uncle Scott appeared with Toba
before the bride appeared in her nice hat
and Scott and Toba talked of things
as Jane and Sarah had their own conversation
and the chandelier gave us light.
Meanwhile, at the table, Dick and Penny
and Jane and Sarah were continuing conversations
as the glasses accumulated
and Eric and Andy stood by the door
and the conversation between Jane and Sarah continued
as Bruce (Brian's dad) came into view
and Ben went off to take a few artistic shots
before discovering M&M's duct taped under his chair
which roused him a bit
as he emerged from his chair
and closed in on Jane
even as Jane and Sarah continued their conversation
and Larry and I looked crossways
as Janet
and Ben
must have been admiring the light
as conversations continued with me and Larry
Larry and Jane
Jane and Dick
Dick and Penny
Penny and Sarah
Bonnie, Fran, Suzanne (partly obscured) and Penny
Bonnie, Fran and Suzanne
Suzanne, Penny and Bonnie
Janet and me
Ben
Dick and Sarah
Bonnie
Suzanne
Jane
and these self portraits of me
and me and Janet
as the desserts were served
and Ellen returned
so that Ellen and Larry
could ponder the desserts
as we captured Aunt Florence
and Sarah did her study of the shoes people wear
|
while Ben escaped the frame
but I
admired the bride and groom balloons
and Sarah and Jane
watched Andy (bride's father)
and Vickie (groom's mother)
deliver their toasts after which Vickie posed with Dick and Fran
and we met Dan and Rachel who were late arrivals.
