The Welcome Dinner At Marion's Pizza

As the majority of the guest attending Ann and Tim's wedding were from out-of-town, they decided the best thing to do was to have a huge welcome dinner after the rehearsal for everyone to get together and have a jolly time celebrating Ann and Tim's upcoming nuptials at a famous local pizza joint-the fabulous Marion's Pizza!  It was a great way for all of the guests to get to know each other and for all the family to catch up.  We could not have had a better time :) (And the pizza at Marion's just happens to be the best pizza in the World!)

I feel blessed to now have Tim as my brother-in-law, what a great guy for Ann to bring into the family
Mom and Julie
James and Julie
Julie and Ezra
Miss Jordan!
Meredith quickly re-bonded with Kamryn (or baby Camera, as Meredith liked to call her-lol)
Dad prepared an amazing slide show of Tim and Ann for people to watch

Matthew immediately ganged up with his cousins to "be boys".  Sad to say, between all of the adults there passing out quarters, these boys (along with a few others not pictured here) probably spent at least $75 on the video games-geesh!
Ann had a cake specially designed for Tim with the Irish knot on the side of it.  Such a neat tough for the bride to do for her groom
What big teeth you have Matthew!
Julie and Ez were great with all of the kids throughout the weekend-thanks guys!
Kelly, Tony, Carrie and Dennis chatting it up


Aunt Barb and Tena must have been having a deep conversation ;)
Matt got along great with all of my extended family, which I knew he would
Ann was the epitome of a great host and made sure she caught up with all of the guests.  Here she is saying hello to Kimberly and Greta
Dad and Grandpa soaking in all of the merriment

Ann and Tim graciously thanked everyone for being a part of their special weekend, and then a few of the guest gave a nice toast to the happy couple

Tim's dad had only nice things to say and is a genuinely nice guy

Another one of Ann's good friend, Katherine, also toasted the adorable guests-of-honor
