Saturday Night



Look! Finally a picture of the happy couple!




So Saturday night instead of the symposium reception, Craig and I hopped in the car for a mad dash to Winchester, Va. Mapquest told me this is a 2 hour and 15 minute drive, we made it in just under 2... We were in such a hurry because John, Christina, Mom and Dad were all meeting there and had asked us to come along... for dinner at 6pm... and I left the symposium which ran late at 4:37... so we were going to be late no matter what... it was just a question of HOW late.

So we drove down there all but setting new land speed records as this was Mom and Dad's first chance to meet Christina and because John had asked in particular that we try and make it. (And because I am the best big sister he could have ever dreamed of!)

We met up at Outback... (ok, so the promise of steak was helpful too) and had a lovely dinner. After dinner we took a couple of pictures and then everyone hit the road to get back to their homes.










The newlyweds and the "to-be" weds

Do we all look incredibly happy or what? This was a night that was so comfortable, it was as if we had done it dozens of time. Christina is a wonderful addition to our family.

Great pics! What a happy couple--I am glad your folks were finally able to meet your future SIL!

I showed dad and he says very nice! And for dad, well, that's a lot of words!
