An Evening to Remember....

Summer weddings are always fun, but especially so when the child of your good friends is married in a beautiful ceremony on the Notre Dame campus. The weather was beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed the reception held at the Irish Garden of the Morris Inn - in the shadow of the Golden Dome. Yesterday's bride and groom met when Colleen introduced them at the salon. Sharon was just finishing when Kevin arrived for a haircut - and here we are less than a year later.

Katie and Colleen and Kevin (the groom) went to grade school at Corpus Christi together and also high school at LaSalle. We've been friends with Kevin's parents for nearly 20 years.

Another added thrill for our Kevin was the fact that Sharon works for Charlie Weis and his family. So, the Notre Dame football coach was seated just two tables away from us at the reception and once dinner was completed, he graciously posed for this photo with Kevin. I don't think Kevin's come down off his cloud yet.

Another fun part of the evening was the wedding party being led into the reception by the Notre Dame Leprechaun. The Fight Song was played MORE than once!!!! The Leprechaun made his way throughout the reception, posing for photos with just a few IRISH fans.

...and finally, a couple of special photos - myself with my husband and three of my children and another of myself with my two good friends - Mary Lou and Paula.
