This past weekend Craig and I drove to State College, PA for our friends, Jeremy and Shannon’s, wedding.
This was the first time going somewhere without Little D. I am proud to say we survived and understand how important it is for Craig and I to have some alone time. But, we still can’t wait until October when Dagny is coming along to Boston. Anyway, back to the wonderful event.
Saturday we headed out after we put Dagny down for her nap. The ride down took four hours which isn’t bad at all, when you’re use to driving seven plus hours to visit family. The ride down was very beautiful. This was the first time that both of us have ever been to State College. We weren’t quite sure what to expect, well after five minutes of driving around, I am ready to move down. It is such a great place. I can totally see ourselves there. You never know what the future holds, nice to know of another option.
After we checked into the Toftrees Resort we decided to go drive around town. Totally by accident we drove by PCQuickFix, the company that both Jeremy and Shannon own and run.
Seriously, we couldn’t try any harder to look like tourist.
State College is really not so small, but here is another example how we just happened to run into yet another thing. Craig and I were ordering some coffee at Starbucks, when I happened to look outside and I see Jeremy and Shannon driving down the road. I mean, for real?! They were just finishing up with the rehearsal dinner. We ended up going to their house where we met up with some old friends and met some new ones. Unfortunately, Shannon couldn’t stay long she was spending the night at her parents house.
Here is Jeremy the eve of his wedding, the last night as a single man. (Sorry for the quality of the photo, Craig took it on his iPhone)
Sunday, was the big day. We headed over to church, which was beautiful, for the ceremony. Shannon looked absolutely beautiful and Jeremy looked handsome.
Here we are outside of the church waiting for the new couple to come out.
Not quite sure what we are looking at here, but it’s a funny shot.
Introducing the Gibson’s!
After the ceremony Jeremy and Shannon went and took their photos, while the rest of us went to the resort for cocktails.
Here I am enjoying my usual, H20. It was of State College vintage… very good indeed.
Afterward was the receptions where the food was very tasty. The cake was the best cake I have had in a very long time.
Here is the couple playing nicely…. that didn’t last long.
Shannon beat Jeremy to the punch… and what a blow it was. Here is the aftermath of the showdown. Score one for Shannon. YAY!
Here is the couple having their first dance. They are so cute together.
Here are some random photo’s of Craig and I.
These two guys are the best guys I know. They give their hearts and soul to the people they love. I am so happy to have them in my life.
We are so happy for both Shannon and Jeremy. We wish you two the very best in the future, with lots of love and happiness. We love you both very much!
Love,
Barbara & Craig
