Irish-German Wedding Bells...

Guess who was a co-flower girl?!

My brother got married last weekend to a beautiful, kind woman and I count myself lucky to have been there to share in the celebration. And what a celebration it was! With an Irish groom and a German bride, the wedding was the perfect blend of both heritages and cultures. My brother and his groomsmen wore kilts and the bride and her attendants wore dirndls. My new sister-in-law and her daughter, escorting her down the aisle:The floral arrangements were a lovely fresh mix of thistle and natural field flowers, and the wedding cake bore smart tartan trim.

We are so pleased to welcome my brother's new wife and her daughter into our big family. They are both wonderful additions and have brought a lot of joy to us all.
