Pre-Wedding Bliss

Since I'm a month behind on Christina's wedding, I thought I would continue describing the event that was the Shirley-Owens wedding which took place on Saturday, January 19. On Thursday, January 17, our cousin Elinda started making the wedding cake. She did an amazing job and the end result was both beautiful and delicious!

 

 

 

We devoted our Friday to prepping the food for Saturday evening. Mom just told us where to go and what to cut, and we were a well-oiled machine in no time. Is it ironic that Rhyan was in charge of the chicken and she doesn't eat much meat?

 

 

 

 

 

Gary (Lara's dad and my adopted father) and Christina were in charge of chopping celery and apples. Dad was apparently in charge of entertaining Gary while he worked.

 

 

Mom measured and dumped the ingredients for the chicken salad while Donna (Lara's mom and my adopted mother) stirred.

 

Lara was in charge of eating - correction "packaging" - the chicken salad in containers.

 



 

Everyone was rewarded for their hard work with a delicious lunch consisting of sandwiches and soup.

Another possibility is that we both enjoyed lunch a little too much!
