Little Sister's BIG Day!

My sister finally met the man of her dreams! Doug proposed in January of 2009 and they got married on February 27, 2010. It was a destination wedding in Gatlinburg, TN. About 25 of us traveled down to TN for the wedding ceremony. It was truly a beautiful wedding and we were all very happy to be a part of their big day. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Welcome to Tennessee! (Friday, Feb 26)

We all stayed in cabins in the mountains. Here is a view of our 3 story cabin. Dennis, Angelica and I stayed here with my dad, stepmom, grandma, aunt and uncle. In all, I think we rented 8 cabins for the whole group.

Here is a view from our cabin right outside our bedroom door. Just beautiful!

Friday night we all drove to Doug and Lisa's cabin. They were staying at a cabin 4 miles up a mountain. It was at the VERY top of the mountain. The cabin was called "On top of the world" and has been featured on HGTV for the past 4 years. It is currently for sale for about $2 Million. However, the drive up the mountain is long and can be trecherous - especially if there is bad weather! Here are some pictures of the view. The sun was setting by the time we got up there so I didn't get a lot of pictures.

Dad and Diana had been in Mexico the week before. They flew in Friday night/Saturday morning and didn't get to our cabin until 1:30am. Fortunately we were able to sleep in on Saturday. Here Grandma and Diana are hanging out with Angelica.

Dad and Uncle Mike play a little pool.
