Maynard's Wedding

Yay! Jenny Maynard got married!

Jenny is a long-time friend of Lori's, and we have never seen someone with SO MANY FRIENDS, and they all just love Maynard SO VERY MUCH! She is such an amazing person, and her spirit touches everyone she meets. Truly loved by all! And WOW - she looked so very fabulous at the reception, and Greg wasn't too shabby either! We would have dropped anything to ensure we could make it to this celebration.

Greg and Jenny sharing their first dance.
Dixie sang 'At Last' for the two.
Another great part of this trip was to see Meg! Lori's roommate, sorority sister, and very dear friend in college. Haven't seen Meg in a couple of years, and she finally got to see Cooper. We hung out with her and Pat Miller and their three amazing children for most of the party. When are they coming to New York again????
So, the whole Jenny/Greg story is even deeper than just the standard couple-meets-and-falls-in-love story. These guys have known each other since high school. They dated in high school. Better yet? They went to the freakin' Junior Prom together! So, at a pivotal point during the reception, the duo disappeared - only to grace the room with their presence yet again, but IN THE OUTFITS THEY WORE TO THEIR PROM. Alas, Greg did have to "borrow" some hair to be believable, but all else was legit!

And? Of course there is more! Jenny was a bridesmaid in NO LESS than 17 weddings. 17. 17 weddings. 17 bridesmaids dresses. And what did this 'Sadie Sadie Married Lady' do? She had all of them standing at "attention" on dressforms lining the the entryway to the hall. It was hysterical and perfect and such a 'Jenny Maynard' thing to do!

It is that very last one that counts!

Oh, and lots of people paid attention to the nuptials of these two! The story was picked up by a bunch of newspapers and TV channels - first locally, and then spread around the country. How cool is that?

We love you Jenny! Congrats!

What a great tribute to the Jenny and Greg! You guys took some great pictures. thanks for including us in your blog.

We loved seeing Lori, Maria and Cooper and Robin's family as well. What a treat! Cooper is a doll and I am sure you are having a great summer with him.

I hope we can get to NYC sometime this year. We would love to see you guys again soon.
Happy summer! Meg( the pink dress wedding) Lori had to wear that one! ha ha
