Hilary's Wedding

Because Stephanie and I were both in the wedding party we didn't get any pictures of the ceremony. And because we left our camera in the diaper bag the whole night we didn't get any pictures of the reception. Fortunately, it being a wedding and all there were plenty of cameras about. All of these pictures are courtesy of my aunt and uncle, who have long been documenting the goings on of our family... thanks Buck & Ginny!

The ceremony and reception were both held on the beach (well, technically not on the beach, but close enough) at Villa Montaña. The picture on the left shows the ceremony setting, and on the right the reception layout in the beach front restaurant (which was reserved for us for the night):


Here's Brian waiting at the altar for his bride-to-be:

My mom took care of Evan during the ceremony, so he had a front row seat for the proceedings (she turned him around once the show started):

You may notice that Evan is wearing the closest outfit my mom could find to the groomsman's attire, just for good measure. He got to go barefoot, though, unlike the rest of us.

After the ceremony (which went off without a hitch) there was a cocktail hour, although we didn't get to participate (i.e. eat and drink) that much since we were busy taking pictures. At least we did have time to get a snapshot of our little family with my parents:

Finally, it was time for the best part of any wedding, the reception! We put Evan to bed in Hilary and Brian's villa, which was on the other side of the gazebo from the restaurant, and joined in the revelry. Here are all the cousins of my generation who could make the trip later in the evening at the bar (which was wonderfully close to the dance floor):

And here are the newlyweds, taking a short break after their opening dance (which was very nicely choreographed, by the way):

It was a pretty great wedding... definitely worth making the trip to Puerto Rico for.
