We greatly enjoyed the reception up in New York this afternoon. Because so much of Jon's family was not able to come to the wedding, we wanted a second reception that they could enjoy.
Yesterday Summer went with Jon's parents to a bookstore in Oswego (called "The King's Business") where she met the owners (the Kings - friends of the Richards). After hearing about the upcoming reception, Mrs. King mentioned that she had 3 wedding dresses and offered one of them for Summer to wear at the reception. So this morning before the reception, we went to their house and Summer tried on the dresses...and one of them fit almost perfectly! Mrs. King and her daughter quickly added a bustle (there was a train), and off we went to the reception!
It was so much fun! We enjoyed spending time with people (some of whom Summer had never met before!) and we played games, Austrian-style. We look forward to continuing to build relationships with these friends and family, and look around to find ourselves richly blessed.
How fun to get a second dress for the day! We need pics ASAP! :)
