wedding day part 4

Following the wedding ceremony we had sparkling cider on the beach with all of our guests. We were so blessed that we had 21 people attend our wedding. My sister Angela and Ray and Patti, Matt's bosses all gave us a toast to wish us well with our future. Matt decided that he wanted to toast everyone and say Thank you to all those who made it, but I think we all ended up in tears after Matt's. Unfortunately Matt's family could not attend our wedding and it was defiantly a very hard moment for Matt and I. We are understanding to their situation but they were greatly missed that day. Matt shed a few tears knowing they were not there and knowing that it was hard on them also.

We took pictures with all the groups of people that were there for our wedding. Along with one group picture to show everyone. Then it was family pictures for quite sometime till we let everyone loose to do what they wanted while Matt and I tried to smile pretty for the camera.
