Let them eat cake!

I will be the first to admit, I love weddings!

This year 2 of my cousins are getting married, so I get to go to at least 2 weddings in 2010...YIPPEE!!!

Yesterday, my cousin Anthony married is longtime girlfriend, Janelle. I met Anthony for the first time when he was 4 years old. I was attending college in San Diego and spending Thanksgiving with family in Los Angeles, CA. We were all gathered at Anthony's grandparents home, where the food is always soooooo awesom! I kept hearing both my Aunt Ann and Uncle Louis yelling, "Anthony!" Then I heard stomping on the piano, then "Anthony!" I never had brothers, so I was a little unfamiliar with what was going on.

The groom Anthony, me & my other cousin Justin at the reception...FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

OK, Anthony was so adorable, but man, what a hand full!!! A few years later, Anthony was the altar boy at my sister's wedding...so cute. By high school, Anthony was 6'3 and 290 pounds...and "Yes" played football. We spent a few holidays together and I swear...that boy can eat and we wouldn't have it any other way. He later attended University of Idaho and played football for the Vandals. Needless to say, Anthony's wife has her hands full.

"We love you Anthony and are very happy for both you and Janelle!"

Could this little beauty gazing at the cake be dreaming about her own wedding day?

I happened to snap this picture with my husband in the distance...19 years ago, he was the young groom.

Anthony and Janelle...Happily Ever After.
