Oklahoma City's OK!

Finally we made our way up to OKC. That is Ryan's hometown. His littlest brother was getting married to a redhead named Becky. They became engaged about a month after Ryan and I, while Brad and Becca were in Paris visiting the middle brother, Duff and his wife, Larissa. We had been asking for a few weeks if there was anything we could do to help out, but they had said they had everything under control.

As the rehearsal dinner was being held at their Grandmother's house, Ryan and I went over on Thursday to see if we could help. We set up tables, moved furniture and put out linens in preparation for the 50 person Mexican feast that was happening on Friday night. While we were there we met Holly, the newest addition to Ryan's family. She is a very sweet baby, all smiles and such.

Friday was spent with Duff and Larissa who had flown in from England the night before. We all went over to the wedding location to help set up the numerous decorations Becca's mom had brought. It got set up just in time for everyone to run over for the beginning of the rehearsal dinner. At the dinner we met the last family baby, Nathan, who is just a month older than Holly but much larger.

After the dinner I found out that Becca had taken me up on my offer to help and wanted me to be in charge of making sure the beginning of the ceremony went smoothly. I was a little bit worried as I didn't know any of the bridal party excepting the ones who I was related to, and I didn't know any of the music being played or pretty much any information at all.

Of course it all went very smoothly and I hope that Brad and Becca had a wonderful time at their ceremony. The wedding was beautiful, everyone had a great time and in the end they were married- and that's what counts.

Now Ryan and I are back in DC working on finding employment in his case and spending time writing study guides in mine. It was a great vacation and we hope to see everyone again in the near future.
