The Newest Member of the Vileation Nation

No, the newest member of the Vileation Nation is not a baby, the newest member is our spectacular new sister-in-law, Kristin! Congratulations to Brian and Kristin on their marriage which took place this past Sunday, October 12.
Check out the pictures here. I wish I could have captured every detail on film, Brian and Kristin did an amazing job. Here is a list of just a FEW things that just really stood out. Incidentally, I'm typing this as I enjoy some of the homemade cranberry apple butter that they gave as favors. I am also listening to some music from the cd that they gave as a favor. Loving it.
  • Adorable welcome baskets when we arrived at the hotel (chocolate, hand cream, gum, maps, awesome!)

  • Amazing rehearsal dinner venue...the whole back patio area to ourselves! Complete with wine that Brian and Kristin selected from a wine tasting event.

  • Unbelievable place cards that were stamped with a nature theme. Look for them in the pictures.

  • Awesome music from a live jazz band and then a live band from Nashville, the Protomen!

  • Kristin MADE all the bouquets, boutennieres, etc. Made them. Whoa. She was at the wedding site cutting flowers and tying them together the morning of her wedding.

  • Hundreds of little meringue mushrooms that Brian and Kristin baked to put on their cake. Check them out in the pictures...amazing.

Honestly, the list goes on and on. Brian and Kristin had a beautiful day for their wedding and treated us all to a feast and a wonderful time of celebration. Congratulations to the Newlyweds!

Congrats to the newlyweds! You have a beautiful new family there, Amy! How exciting to have all those new sisters. Of course, nothing can compare with your BSG sisters, but hey, everyone can always use more sisters!

Awesome pic of you and Jake on the bed. His smile lights up the room!

What a beautiful bride and that dress is just stunning.

And seriously, I have never been called dude while experiencing such warm and fuzzy feelings at the same time...you make it such a term of endearment. That's awesome.

And you are an encourager, dude.

I'll certainly mention you in the acknowledgements if I ever write a book.

Have fun this weekend!!

Amy your pictures are awesome! I don't think I told you before but you looked great at the wedding. Your dress, shoes, and hair were super cute. Also, JD and the camera get along well. I really love the facial expressions he has and when he smiles it is amazing. You and Kev sure do make some cute ones....or atleast a cute one for now.

Also, thanks to everyone else for the congrats.

Amy, Amy, Amy...

Can't you let that baby wear a dirty diaper and be a little hungry so we can hear what's going on at the Vileation Nation?

You are sorely missed.
