After months of preparation and anxiety this is the day my family and friends arrive in Northern Ireland to attend our wedding! It's all becoming much more real with their arrival but both Colin and I are excited to squeeze them into the house. After a lot of shuffling around and re-arranging, we have the house ready and with about 3 hours of sleep, Colin and Stephen (Best Man) make their way to the airport.

Thankfully Kristen got a new camera. Take a look at these:


Gail, Marg, Karen & Mom Kristen Yup, dad was there too!



Everyone, namely: Mom and Dad, Marg, Gail and Kristen Schoon and Karen and Herman Post arrive (or at least Herman did the following Saturday morning), arrived safely (albeit a bit stinky of apple juice, right K!?!) and on the way back to Larne from the airport they got their first taste of Northern Ireland.

On the first day, there was a bit of sleeping in the morning for the Canucks and Colin went to get his hair done while I set out to attend to a few errands. In the afternoon, the folks and I (Heather) went to "Downtown Larne" for browse and a bit of shopping before coming home to the first of Colin's delicatable dinner delights (now you know why I really married him).
