Max's sister, Anna, got married July 17th in Port Tobacco, Maryland! Yes, it's still hard for us to believe; she'll always be the little sister in our heads. She and Matt were married at St. Ignatius Church (above), which is the oldest continously serving Catholic Parish in the US. Max and I flew in from France a few days before. We were so pleased to have been able to go and to be included in their bridal party too! 
Before the wedding, we had a chance to see everyone at the rehersal dinner. It was so great to see people we hadn't seen since we'd left for France, some for even longer! We got to meet his cousin's baby for the first time. What a cutie! My parents made the drive in from Michigan as well. It wouldn't have been a real trip back to the States without seeing them too. 
Anna was a beautiful bride, as you can see, and very photogenic, as always. We can't wait to see the professional photos from the photograher! I should leave room in this post so I can hopefully add some of them later. Check back in a little while for more...?
It was a beautiful day for a wedding, really hot, but beautiful. Luckily, we took most of the pictures inside, in the air conditioning. (We had been missing air conditioning in France). The reception hall (above) had a very large, elegant staircase in the entrance, perfect for more pictures.
The party was downstairs. We enjoyed a night of much needed time with friends and family. I only wish we had taken more photos! I think we were too busy catching up with everyone (and maybe enjoying a cold beverage or two). Where did the night go? I borrowed this photo from the maid of honor. Thanks Jenn!
After the wedding, we headed up to New Jersey to spend the rest of our time with more family. We also got to meet the baby of Max's other adult cousin for the first time. She cracked us up. We were so happy to have been able to see everyone that we did. We'd been missing our families. Plus, it felt great to be back in the land of the familiar for a little while.
