My sister, Nancy, and her fiancee, Jeff Gates, were married on April 20th in Lawrenceville, Georgia.  I wish them the best of luck! 

...And now they're not only step-parents to each other's children, but my sister is a step-grandmother, too!  (Nancy--remember, grandparents haunt every souvenir shop they see on trips for t-shirts for the grandkid---buy two sizes too large so they can wear it for a while!)

Their reception line was a like a walk through our childhood.  Take a look at all the folks who came to help celebrate:

From left, Jeff Gates, the groom, my sister Nancy, my Aunt Betty Keiser (back to camera), our dad, my Uncle Len Keiser (back to camera), my sister's new mother-in-law Nancy Gates, my new step-nephew Jeffrey Gates, my nephew Matthew, and my brother Joe.  (If my parents were the Flintstones when I was growing up, Aunt Betty and Uncle Len were Betty & Barney Rubble to my folks--their best friends!)  (If I left anyone out of the naming, forgive me!)

In this picture, we see Nancy, Dad, Joe, our Mom, my cousin Bill Leamy (another Air Force veteran!), Nancy Gates and Bill's wife, Judy.

Here we see Jeff, my cousin Trish Boylan, Nancy, our Dad, Trish's husband, my mom, Nancy Gates, and my granddaughter, Savannah.

And in this picture, Jeff, me, Nancy, Dad, my Aunt Ann Rochette and my cousin Mary Ellen.

But last, but not least, even though I didn't catch them in a receiving line photo, here are my brother's kids, Joey and Anne, both looking like movie stars at the wedding!
