I had fun at my cousin, ERicka's wedding. It mixed German, Scandinavian, Brazillian, and Egyptian customs as her husband is Egyptian and Brazilian.
It was fun to reconnect with cousins I have not seen in a very long time. It was a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding and reception. The ceremony was lovely and food was excellent complete with wedding pie of your choice. I had strawberry-rhubarb pie, my favorite. The couple provided small gifts for each family attending. They were small wooden boxes with velvet lining with inlaid pieces. It was fun to dance to good music, good conversations, belly dancing, and fireworks.
I was DEAD tired when I went to bed at 1230 am...
