Thursday night was the Quinte Figure Skating Club Awards Dinner & Banquet and Annual General Meeting. It was a nice evening, but nothing too exciting.
Following the meeting, Curt and I left for Acton for a few days. We spent Thursday and Friday night at my parents, and got to spend time visiting Tom, Krystle and Nolan. Curt and I were going to play golf with my dad on Friday afternoon but the weather was HORRIBLE, it was cold and rainy all day, so we didn't end up playing.
Saturday it was off to Lucknow, Ontario for a wedding - Curt's youngest brother, Mark, got married. We don't really know his wife, Jeanette, very well...they met at school, and only dated for a few months before getting engaged, so they only made it home to visit a few times during the whole 'courtship'. But, on Saturday, it was so clear to see how in love they are. It was cute :)
It was a really nice wedding, despite the fact that the weather was horrible again, it was cold, rainy, windy and even snowy at times. The church, reception hall and the Bed & Breakfast we were staying at were all within walking distance of each other, which would have been convenient in nice weather. However, it ended up being a bit of a hindrance on Saturday - a tree was blown over in the crazy wind, and landed on power lines, so the power was out in the area. The power was out from about 1pm until probably about 8:30pm! Luckily, it didn't really make a big difference at the church - someone from the congregation brought a generator, so the pastor could still use a microphone, and there were plenty of windows, so light wasn't an issue. It did make a difference at the hall, there was no heat in the community hall, so it was FREEZING in there! But, the food was cooked (gas stoves) and it didn't stop the party. Pictures couldn't be done outside, so they used the community hall and the backdrop they had set up behind the head table.
I look really weird in this picture, but it's the only one of Curt and I.
The next two pictures are just too cute to leave out. Two of my nephews attended the wedding, and my mother-in-law put together a little gift bag of activities for each of them. So they were entertaining themselves during pictures and while we waited for dinner. This is what happened...
Mark, the groom, had a few minutes between pictures. Here he is colouring with our nephew, Joshua.
And, here is Curt helping our other nephew, Noah, build a Lego vehicle.
On Sunday, we left for home and were able to stop at my parents again. It was nice to spend Mother's Day with my mom, and it was a great way to break up what would have been a five hour drive home.
So, it was a great weekend! The only thing that would have made it better would have been the arrival of my niece. My sister-in-law, Krystle, was due on Saturday, so I was hoping to meet Abigail too. But today is Wednesday, and she still isn't here.
