My Sister the Mrs!!




Hooray! Melina and Matthew said "I do" on Saturday! I have so many pictures from the incredible week of wedding festivities; I don't even know where to start. These may be a little haphazard, but here we go ...

First up - the stunning bride! Seriously, Melina was breathtaking! Here she is on the trolley while we were taking pictures. It was a gorgeous day - bright and sunny, pretty hot but worth every moment!


Here's the happy couple! Can I tell you how cute Matthew was - how nervous, happy and very handsome!




Then there's my adorable daughter - the one and only flower girl - Miss Evelyn Kate! Evie who surprised us all with her lovely walk down the aisle - no tears, no tantrums, just smiles and licks on her lollipop! She even threw a few petals!!


Here Melina and I are with the girls. Poor Nora was cutting teeth and had to leave after the ceremony - thank you Loretta! But she still managed to look beautiful in her dress!


Besides the groom, the most handsome man there had to be my hubby! Look at those dimples! And you should have seen his dance moves toward the end of the night!!!


Once again the happy couple after seeing each other for the first time! Radiant!


OK, so on to the funny parts of the night - Evie not only made her way down the aisle in style - she also dominated the dance floor and even the toasts by stealing my microphone and babbling in front of 150 wedding guests! Seriously, this girl is made for the spotlight ... or, in this case, the stage!



Here, Evie and my Mom are dancing and singing right before the reception. Notice - Evie still has her shoes on - and she's yet to discover the blue and yellow jelly beans at the reception!

Another performance pic - this time, the bride joined in on the action.
Evie also spent lots of time loving on her cousins ...
and her Yiayia and Papou!
Her night finally ended like this ...! All of us danced ourselves silly - including Miss Evie and the bride and groom. It was such a happy, wonderful night (and weekend). Truly, I can't express how amazing it is to be dancing to all my favorite songs (Diddy, Shoop!) with all my favorite people by my side. To look around and know that everyone there loves my sister and her new husband, my girls, Mark (he has some serious groupies from the Bland side of the family!) and even me too. What a perfect wedding! Congratulations Melina and Matthew - we love you!

I may post more pictures later but for now - off to bed! Have a great week!
