Here are the girls all decked out in their dresses for the big wedding yesterday. Jacey really lucked out as we had cold lousy weather on Friday and rain this morning. Yesterday was BEAUTIFUL....good for you Jacey (as well as mom and dad Steve and Debbie).
This is just part of the magnificent gardens that surround June Augusbury's beautiful waterfront property. This was the view as you drove up to the house. The grounds were beautiful. As well as June's own hard work in maintaining the gardens, many kudos to Harry and Urch Slate who do such a magnificent job in keeping the grounds!!!
Along with her handsome husband, Jayce was also gifted with these two beautiful stepchildren. Abbey and Emerson did a great job in acting as Flower Girl and Ring Bearer!
Serving as Maids of Honor were the other 2 beautiful Donaldson girls, Jayce's sisters, Stephanie and Jamie.
I loved the fact that the family was so involved in the ceremony. Here is Kristin Marra (cousin) reading one of the scriptures.
and Uncle Jeff who did a magnificent rendition of Paul Stokey's Wedding Song....and YES, I cried! Great job Jeff!!!
and here is the happy couple reciting their vows....in the 90 degree weather!
I love this picture of Jayce with her mom and dad!
Phil and Yuvonne Marra, the proud grandparents join them in this picture. The beautiful St. Lawrence River in the background, added such a peaceful presence to the event! There is nothing quite like a wedding on the river!!
Salt and I, actually, had to leave the reception early as we had committed to a dinner party held at our friend Louise Ford's. Weezie and Peter just recently returned from their home in London, England.
Peter cooked the steaks to perfection.....
Weezie looking serious.....
but when she left the girls on the porch and joined the men for dinner she had a BIG smile!!
Also in attendance were Lauren and Renalto Sarti, Jim Adamson, Cliff and Debbie Coffey and Lauren's friend Kim Hewett, visiting from VT...
And last but not least....here is Rachael having her driving lesson from Grandma!

We hired Erika Luce to babysit Emma and Rachael while we were at dinner. I didn't think to get a picture of her but I am sure we will have one in the near future. She will be living on the island until Labor Day and is willing to babysit whenever!! She is as cute as a button and the girls LOVED her. She came armed with all kinds of games, played "charades" with them and took them to Potter's Beach. Right after she left, Emma gives me this very coy look and says, "Grandma, I think you and Poppy deserve to go out more often"....then she fessed up... she really wanted to spend more time with Erika!
