Then the actual wedding prep, ceremony and aftermath were fabulous. I have never seen Angie, my sister, so happy -- and the simple event was just her style. I am so grateful that I was able to be there to help her get ready and the ceremony, itself, was wonderful. Other than a tad bit too much champagne at the reception (nothing crazy -- just a bit tipsy -- I never even fell out of my 3 inch heels!), everything was perfect. As an added bonus, Uncle Sam and Aunt Jan came back to Mom & Dad's house to chat for a couple hours. It was so much fun.
Meanwhile back in SC, Charlie spent the morning and early afternoon at Donna's -- squeezing in two good naps. Then he, Jason and Otis played and walked and had a great time. Wednesday was much the same, but rather than playing and walking, they ran man errands -- Charleston Angler and Lowe's.
On Wednesday, I was blessed again with perfect flights and then with very little traffic at the 526 merge at 4:30 in the afternoon, so I made good time getting back to Summerville, where I met up with my boys and we had dinner on the patio at Five Guys Burgers.
The entire experience was great. I proved that I can handle 45 hours away from Charlie, Charlie had a wonderful time with Daddy, Donna and Otis, I got to celebrate my sister's wedding day with her and I made it home safely to my boys.
The official wedding pictures aren't in, but here are a few snapshots, along with some picture texts Jason sent to get me through...
