The Newly Wedds

Robin and Nora rode into town a couple weeks before the scheduled event to spend time with friends and family and to take care of the last minuet details.

On Thursday there was a Pre-wedding party for Nora at the home of a life long family friend of Nora's. Nora's college friends arrived that afternoon and were also at the gathering. All the guest brought a favorite recipe to share with Nora and Robin.

Friends and Family

Nora sat by the fireplace while everyone presented the recipe to her.

On Saturday was the rehearsal at the little church in Marine on St Croix where they are going to be married on Sunday afternoon.

Vickie and Charlene did a little sidewalk art to welcome the guest to the grooms/rehearsal dinner at the home of the groom. Besides the cool 3D chalk greetings there was plenty of good food and beverages to satisfy the taste of the guest while they reminisced about school days and reconnected with family from out of town.

College Friends

Robin's college band, 'Vegetable Medley' had a chance to play together again, even if only for a short time before the rain started.

It was a lot of fun to see and hear.

Robin's grandparent Ruth and Charlie Reid were there to see Kathy (their daughter) assist in the marriage ceremony of her son. Charlie is also a minister.

The church filled with loved ones.

Robin entered with his parents at his side.

And Here Comes the Bride. Nora is beautiful as she walks down the isle with her parents, Kevin and Caroline Shields.

The ceremony was beautiful and the couple are now husband and wife.
