The Newlyweds

Kris and Charlie swim with the fishes

Charlie and Kris returned from there Honeymoon with some great pictures and I am sure wonderful memories. They were swimming with stingrays and dolphins. They did a zip line in the jungle and a lot of just plan sightseeing. And as with any cruise enjoyed a lot of great eating and entertainment.

They did however have a luggage problem more than once while on their trip. Their luggage was lost on the way to Florida and they did not get it until 3 days later when it caught up with their cruise ship. On the way home they flew to Philadelphia while their luggage took a flight to Baltimore. Oh well it's all good now!

Now for those who would like to see some pictures from the wedding you can use the link here to watch a 10 minute video made from pictures taken by all the photographers that day. Enjoy

Italy

We just got a note from Keith. For those who know him he is a man of few words and so was the note. For the most part they are just working. He did say they drove up to the Alps last weekend and he sent us a few pictures. We figured we might as well share them so here are a couple of our favorites.


We are not sure that after two months there he will want to come back to the states.

We wanta go...and we wanta go now!!!!!!!!!! Any one out there with us?

Things To Do

We continue to be busy around here even when you think that we should have some free time. We did get to spend time with Kris and Charlie for the first time since the wedding. We went to Lancaster on Sunday and took Charlie out to supper for his birthday. After that we went back to their house we we downloaded all the wedding pictures to my laptop. Now I get to go over all these pictures to see which ones we think are the best ones. After a little work taking out all the duplicates we have it down to a little under 900 pictures to look at. From these we have picked about 100 or so that we think best captured the wedding and the reception. I am now trying to put these into a video that we can share with our family and friends. Since I was also given some audio files from one of the photographers I hope to cut these in with the video as well.

So keep watching. Hopefully we will have this video finished soon!!

Made It To Italy

We got a short e-mail from Keith today. The trip to Italy was fine and he did not lose any luggage. This is noteworthy because Charlie and Kris had luggage problems flying to Florida and back again. We are not sure how much we will hear from him as we don't know how much he will be working. We just hope he has some time to do some sightseeing. After all how often do you get an opportunity like this?

For those who are interested Keith is in the Pordenone region. This puts him close to Germany, Switzerland and not far from France.

A Couple More Shots

Still Busy

We still don't seem to have a lot of free time even two weeks after the wedding. I guess that some of that is because we now have the yard work that needs completed. In fact we needed to mow the yard again Saturday night.



We did get more pictures this weekend when we went out to supper with Dave and Donna. They gave us a disk with 170 pictures that they took at the wedding. It is fun to see that each photographer seemed to have a different perspective and no one seemed to duplicate what another had done. This is one of the many they took from the balcony. We still have to see the 3D shots that Hillary took and look forward to see what she has done with her talent. While we are on the subject of pictures if anyone happened to take pictures at the brunch and would like to share them please let us know. We all seemed to be so tired that morning we forgot to take any. As soon as Kris has time to make some decisions on her pictures we will be sharing more of these with everyone. We hope you look forward to seeing these as well. I did see one were two lovely ladies (who happen to be neighbors) were giving everyone their "Beauty Queen" wave from the carriage. I am sure Kris will be sharing that one.



As for our world travelers Charlie and Kris returned home Sunday night from their cruise. They had a great time and have many pictures from their travels. I am not sure we will ever get through all of these. Just as they return home Keith leaves tomorrow afternoon for Italy. We just put another clock on our PC that shows Italian time. He will be six hours ahead of us so I guess most of our communications will be by e-mail. I hope he sends us some pictures as it will give us something to do!!!

Home Alone

Although things are getting back to normal here it also seems very quiet. Charlie and Kris left for their cruise on Saturday evening and Keith went back to SC Sunday morning. Kinda like an Empty Nest all over again.

But we got right back into the grove doing some lawn and garden work on Sunday afternoon. The flower gardens have been cleaned up and the lawn has been mowed for the first time this year. Many of the spring flowers are beginning to bloom and we have seen a lot of our annuals pushing through the ground as well. Now if the weatherman will just give us a little more warm weather we would be truly happy.

We have also been going over some more of the wedding photos. All I know is that after a week I still find pictures I have not looked at before. I guess Kris and Charlie will have a lot to do when they get home. Knowing her she will have hundreds of pictures from the cruise as well. It may be a while before everything gets printed.

Party Time

We continue to look through the pictures from last weekend and thought that you might enjoy some from the reception. I don't know of anyone who did not have a good time. Somehow the 5 hours we were there seemed more like 5 minutes. I still can't believe how fast it was over.

We hope you enjoy these shots.

A Look At The Rehersal

Here is a sneak peek at what we were doing on Friday night. As you could tell on Saturday everything went very well. What a great group of people Kris and Charlie had for their wedding party!

More Photographers Report In

We continue to receive photos from the Paparazzi and are enjoying every one of them. We hope you enjoy them as well as we will continue to post some here over the next few days. These were taken by Kris' other parents John and Jackie.

Everyone got into the fun!

Can you find the Bride and Groom among all the photographers!

The Wedding Is Over

After getting up last Friday morning at 7 AM and going to bed sometime Sunday night we managed to survive one of the greatest weekends any parents could hope for. Charlie was handsome but "Sorry Charlie" Kristin was Elegant!

Everything went as planned and in fact even better that we had expected. The day started with all the girls coming to our hotel room to have their hair done. The on staff hair designer, an old(sorry about the age remark) and dear friend did a great job making all the girls look great. After a quick lunch it was off to the chapel. The service was beautiful and the chapel was the perfect venue adding to the overall feeling of the day. When we finally arrived at the reception it could not have been better. Kristin's vision was fulfilled and all the hard work over the last two years became but a memory.

The best part was that all our family and friends had a fantastic time celebrating with us. Everyone had said the day would go by quickly but for us it was over way to fast. We were glad that we had planned the brunch for the next morning. It gave us a chance to again thank everyone for their love for Kris and Charlie and say goodbye before they all headed for home.

Now we sit here after two days of sleeping as much as we could realizing that there is nothing for us to do with these creative juices that we had flowing for the last two years. This could lead to depression. But then again Kris has been given over 1200 digital pictures that she needs to look at and decide which ones are the best. And this total will rise as not all the paparazzi have sent us their pictures. Maybe there is some work there for us yet!

A great looking group!

Can you spot yourself?

Got the moves!
