... Enjoying Family Time, Part 2

Secondly, James and I want to thank the Beal family for the WONDERFUL association we enjoyed with them during the wedding events. We are grateful for all of the preparations, the time, and, obviously, the material resources that went into making the events so beautiful, quite memorable, and absolutely enjoyable for all who attended. WE THANK YOU! I'm a bit slow at sending out the cards, so please have patience with me. After the blogging, that's the next order of business.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. Before the actual tying of the knot, we had a chance for our side of the family to meet and to start getting to know Katie's side of the family. James' brother Keith and wife Susan hosted a family get-together the night before the wedding. Traditionally in the Facer clan, this is a chance for sage marriage advice to be given and received by all in attendance. Naturally, this is an adult affair with younger siblings of the engaged couple also invited. Although this left out the beloved children of extended family members, we enjoyed the more intimate feel of a family home which is the more traditional setting for this event.

Sorry, Keith! It was your home, and I didn't even get a single picture of your face!
