Cousin's son's wedding

Congratulations to Karis and Brian! 

Their wedding on August 4th.

The newly married couple! 

Brian is Steve's cousin's son.

Quail Ridge Lodge in Wentzville, Missouri. 

The groom's parents. Karen is Steve's cousin, one of his aunt's daughters.

The second dance: the bride dancing with her father, and the groom with his mother.

Kathy is Karen's twin sister.

Rose, another of Steve's cousins.

Steve's oldest sister, Joan, and her husband.  They drove 7 hours from Cincinnati, Ohio for the wedding. Last time we saw them was 2 years ago. We are so happy to see each other again.

Steve and his sisters, Joan and Sue.

 Sue with twin cousins.

The next day, we were invited to visit their aunt's old house. Sue and Steve's family stayed with them for a summer while looking for a place when their family moved to St. Louis.

These are their cousins (one passed away last year) who grew up in this house. The house was sold after their parents passed away a few years ago. However, Kathy's daughter managed to buy back the house after two other owners had lived there. 

  

All the cousins.

We had a little tour inside. This is the second generation of boys living in this bedroom. 

Kathy's daughter, Katie, her husband, and one of their boys - the new owners of the house.

We had a wonderful family reunion.
