The Opening Hoopla

We kicked off Brittney and Aykut's wedding weekend with an awesome party hosted by Papa and Nana at their house.  Everyone who was in from out of town caught up with each other and the cousins played like there was no tomorrow.  It is always nice to see family.  Matthew and cousin Teven were instant BFF's :)


Teven's sister, Emmy, is so smart, caring, and sweet.  Meredith became her little shadow much to Emmy's delight
Uncle George and Aunt Lilian chatted it up



And their off!
Tena, Shaun, Susan, Bill, and Marialice, and Kenny hung out on the deck


Eda arrived shortly after we did and the dynamic duo became the terrific trio

Cousin Jason and Matt-put these two together and your bound to have trouble ;)

Aykut's parents surprised Eda and Meredith with the cutest belly dancing outfits.  Eda gladly danced in front of everyone, however Meredith was more on the shy side and would only dance for a few people at a time in a private room




Meredith and I danced some.  She loved the outfit soooo much she didn't want to take it off
Aykut with his gorgeous sister Dilek

I think Brittney had a good time and Aykut's family and her family seemed to get along wonderfully

The delightful, stunning, talented Emmy! (applause here)
