My name is Rachel and I'm a native of San Diego, CA . I grew up as child #4 in a family of seven kids. My former places of residence have been Davis, CA (5 years), Hungary (1 1/2 years), Carmel, IN (12 years) and most recently Lima, Peru. I've been in Lima since September of 2016. I currently teach English and also started giving piano lessons. I'm writing this blog as a promise to many people to keep them updated on my many adventures.

Cousin Kevin's Wedding

Cousin Kevin got married this Labor Day weekend. I stuck around for it. The nice part was it was local. I'm so used to traveling for these things. It was kind of weird, like, "What? You mean I hop in the car and 20 minutes later I'm there?"

Kevin's family and mine both live in California. As a result, growing up our families would see more of each other than the other cousins. So whenever we got together, off Kevin and I went to play. We are only 5 months apart, so we went through high school and college together. He is a great playmate and to this day, still a very sweet guy.

And the girl he married, we all love her. He made a good match.

Kevin is the youngest of Uncle Bubba's family. This is my dad's brother who we all refer to as the "wine worshippers." I always used to tell people if there was a religion to worship wine they would join in a heartbeat. This wedding proved me right.

All three of Uncle Bubba's boys got married at winery's. At any event they host there has to be TONS of alcohol. (You can imagine how well this aligns with us dry Mormons) They aren't really religious. Oh sure, their parents raised them Lutheran (it allows drinking), but once the boys moved out of the house they stopped going to church.

During the ceremony, the guy officiating it included in there that (and I am not joking on this), wine was like marriage. It involves a transformation, progression. It was a finer thing that took work to create.

Just when I thought I had heard it all.

I have to admit though, it was a very well coordinated wedding and the food was good. Kevin's bride put together activities for the kids and they even gave a special presentation to my niece who was turning 5 that day.

I knew I'd get in trouble if I didn't put any pictures up. I was able to steal a quick moment to get a picture with the bride and groom.






Adrienne made a very pretty bride. I don't know why I twisted my torso and hips as I did because I LOOK SO FAT! Oh well, blame the skirt.

Good Job on the wedding Kevin! It was worth putting up with Mom and Dad for a week to attend it.
