♥ Alston and Marina Brown ♥


This is my cousin, Alston, and his beautiful new wife Marina.
 I didn't have a picture of the new Brown family on their wedding day so I "took" this one from my cousin Jenna's blog. She's has an amazing eye for photography!
 Alston and Marina were married on the 14th and it was so  much fun to experience a Greek wedding. It was intriguing to see how much tradition they have held on to. It actually makes me realize how much tradition we lack!
It was so sweet and we're all so excited to have Marina in our fam!



My moma is so pretty, and I just have to say I have one cutie of a brother, too, who was also an usher!


My handsome daddy and me!


Here's the wedding cake!
Juuuust kidding. This was the grooms cake at the rehearsal dinner.
It fit the theme of the rehearsal dinner perfectly because Alston's an outdoorsman.
The duck is made of rice crispy treats. The cake was one layer of strawberry and one layer lemon, and the big hunka wood was made from... a tree! It would take the team of Cake Boss people to make cake look like a tree. heeheehe


I know this is so blurry, but I love this picture! There was lots of dancing at this wedding. The people who were Greek were so much fun to watch! They had so many different dances and they would all get together in a circle, and they all looked like they had done it before!
We didn't do any of the the Greek dances, but we did a little American dance'n... like the macaraina, and the electric slide...


Here's Mot and Nona.
We literally had to take about 7 because Nona wanted so much to have a picture with her tongue sticking out or looking crosseyed or whatever she was doing.


Here's the wedding cake. Prettier than the grooms cake if you ask me. ;)


Here's my dad and Dennis. Jenna's daddy and my dad's big brother. They were standing in front of the church. I would have taken pictures of the beautiful stained glass art inside the church the, amazingly, huge painting of Jesus on the top of the ceiling, but there was no flash photography allowed inside.


Here's dad and Kimmi. I love this picture of Kimmi. So pretty.

The wedding was so much fun and really sweet!
Congratulations Alston and Marina!
 Love you guys so much!

Yeah, I thought the cake... the one with the flowers, was pretty too.=D Yes, the wedding was in a Greek Orthodox church. It was really beautiful and had a dome! If you're sitting on a pew and you look up into the dome there's a ginormous picture of Jesus holding a bible. Really neat, with lots of history!
