Guth Wedding - Florida

Friday morning we left for Tampa Bay, Florida. My dad Fred and Jan were getting married on Valentines Day. We had an early 6:15am departure, so we were up at 4am. Besides the fact that we couldn't be happier for Fred and Jan, the other neat thing about this weekend - it was the first time all of Fred's kids were together at the same time in the same place! My brother Ron and his wife came in from Arizona. My brother Carl flew in from California. My sister Chanda and her husband David arrived from New York. And my sister Crystle and her husband Matt and their daughter Milynn were in from North Carolina. To say the least, we filled up a living room!

Saturday morning was a breakfast at Butterfields with all of families, while Jan and Fred were busy getting ready for the afternoon. Saturday at 4:00pm was the wedding and reception. Sunday was spent at the beach with Ron and Mary Lee followed by a special seafood restaurant dinner. And Monday was spent at the beach and shopping. Below are some select photos from the weekend. There are plenty more, but too many to post all of them.

Boy the beach sounds just divine right now!! Oh love that green dress Indy has too. Where did she get it? Those are a bunch of good pictures! Glad y'all could catch up with the family.

Thanks for the pics. Looks like a wonderful weekend. How fun to reconnect with everyone and best wished to Fred and Jan. They look really happy.
Love the picture of Chrissie, she's always photogenic. Seeing the toes I think it's time for another toe party. (Anything to make it feel like spring!) I'll bring healthy snacks and I know a great massage therapist we might convince to come... what do you say?

You got some beautiful pics. Fred and I were so happy to see all of you in one place. The wedding seemed to run smoothly, much to my surprise. We're looking forward to the upcoming cruise.
