Ben and Anthony's wedding



Ben and Anthony's wedding May 7, 2022
Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina
Shell Island Resort
From his mom's perspective

My wedding present to the guys.
This type of afghan is called a graphgan because the pattern was a graph.
It was a fun challenge to make!

                                   Jess and Kari made these decadent chocolate carmel brownies, 
                                                  but Mark had the hard job of cutting them!


This pavlova that Jess and Kari made was magnificent and delicious!


So much joy and love!


Taco dinner the night before the wedding with both
sides of the family that were already in town


It was fun meeting Anthony's mom, sister, aunts and uncle,
 neice and nephew before the wedding!

I got to walk Ben down the aisle




It was a beautiful day for a barefoot beach wedding!


Proud parents


The buffet was delicious!


Our kids!


It was so much fun to watch them dance together!

                            Loved the cake topper, even their cats (Leo and Lily) were on it! 
                                            The macarons were each a different flavor!


Cake cutting, they were perfect gentleman
