Big Doin's in North Carolina on New Year's Eve
















Hey everyone....the big news was not Christmas, but Russell and Amanda Faye's wedding! The family, all but Karen and her tribe, were able to gather in Charlotte and take part in a lovely wedding adventure, and a delicious after-nuptials dinner with Frank Sinatra. Well....at an Italian place that was named after Frank S, from Hoboken. In the men's room was a picture of young Frank from a police lineup, complete with numbers across his chest.








Pedicures....Mom and Daughter...Dottie and Amanda Faye


The girls in the wedding party got hairdo's, manicures or pedicures, and the guys went out for nine holes of golf. Coif dolls and golf balls....have to think about that. Amanda's parents were great folks, and we all feel like our respective families just got bigger and better.














Enjoy the pictures!



Love is wonderful!

Hey, you and I had the same idea! Check splendafan.blogspot.com for even more wedding pics. (I *had* to update; this morning, there were emails from Karen AND Melanie asking for a new entry!)

Wasn't this vacation wonderful? (Thanks for all the financial help which helped make it possible, btw.) It's been such a treat to see you guys in October, November, AND December...we're going to be in withdrawal next month!!!!

I love your pictures! It sure helps those of us who couldn't attend. You really should think about picking up the camera more often--you have a gift for getting shots that evoke emotion.

I love your blog!

Updates, please. :-)

Well, it was EASY being a blogger about this wonderful event...very photogenic couple, and a lot of joy. Mom and I missed a photo opportunity yesterday, sadly...our power had been out, and we wearily climbed in the car after a sleepless night, and went over Afton Mountain...it was a crystalline paradise, and the mountains were coated, as were the vines and trees, with an icy frosting. took the camera today, and---zippodododah. Nada.
