Kate and Garrett's wedding

February 28 was Kate and Garrett's wedding day. I got into New Hampshire late Thursday night and spent the night at the Parker's home. The next morning, Kate and Garrett and I drove to the house where most of us stayed the rest of the weekend for a family breakfast. It was nice to see NH during the daylight hours as we drove. The Parkers live very close to Dartmouth's campus - it's a very beautiful area.

David and Jodie had brought their skate skis with them, hoping for some outdoor fun in the snow. Unfortunately it was very warm on Thursday and Friday, so the conditions were really bad. Mary and I rented cross-country skies and slid around a bit. Except for one flat bit where we practiced for a while, most of the area was really very hilly. I fell down and slid backwards numerous times. It was rather frustrating fun.

The wedding was Saturday at 3:00 at Wilmot Flat Baptist Church with the reception at BlueWater Lodge where the wedding party and young friends stayed. After a sit down meal, the men folk moved the big wooden tables and benches out of the way and cleared the hall for contra-dancing which was a lot of fun.

These are few pictures that I took during the ceremony and reception. I'd like to post some of my favorites of the photographer's pictures. Is that legal?

Groomsman, groom, and groom's father. Both fathers officiated the wedding ceremony.

J.T. made an adorable ring bearer. He was rather worried about his responsibilities but carried them off well.

This is Garrett's nephew and namesake, Little G.

Wills is entirely too heavy to hold, especially when he's sleeping.
