Detroit Wedding

Last weekend Sarah and I flew to Detroit for Sarah's brother's wedding. We had a wonderful time with David, Katie, and both families.

Here we are at the rehearsal dinner with Sarah's Aunt Annie, Uncle Perry and their family. It had been about 15 years since Sarah had seen them.
The day of the wedding:


Katie with the moms:


Sarah's dad with his sister:
The wedding party at the reception:

David's groomsmen had bells that they rang to get people to kiss:

Our chaperones for the evening--Sarah's Uncle Pat, Aunt Kathleen, Mom & Dad:
7 of us rode in Sarah's parents' minivan. Unfortunately, on the way home from the reception we got stuck in major traffic. All the guys were in the backseat together from 10:30pm to 1:00am...and we only went 3 miles.
The day after the wedding, Sarah's family went to the Henry Ford Museum before we flew home. Here's Sarah dressed up like a hot dog.

Here we're working in an assembly line building Model-T cars:
This is the chair that Lincoln was shot in....kinda weird to be posing for a picture in front of it:
This is the bus that Rosa Parks sat on during the Civil Rights Movement:
