Christmas in the Living Room, Part 1, 2018

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. James Barna!!


Welcome!!

Today, on November 28th, 2018, our youngest son Jim married his long time Love, Danielle!!!

After living together for 10 years, they decided it was time to get married!!

They did not want anything fancy....just a simple ceremony performed by a Magistrate....
 They did not want anyone to spend any money on them nor did they want to spend any more money than they had to......

The magistrate was David Barilla and he did such a great job....

"These are the hands that will comfort you" as Danielle placed her hands on top of Jim's...
"These are the hands that will hold you and  love you" as Jim placed his hands on top of Danielle's....
"With this ring"
Jim putting the ring on Danielle's finger...
"With this ring"
Danielle putting the ring on Jim's finger...
"Hands and Lives intertwined"
  He was waiting to see if anyone objected to this union!
 "I now pronounce you Man and Wife"

"You may kiss the Bride"
Thier rings...
Introducing Mr. and Mrs. James Barna
 We celebrated quietly at home with a family dinner.....

I set the Wedding Table.....
White Roses and Lottery Tickets!!
Wedding cake...
A single white rose for the ceremony....
The happy couple!
 Joe was making Lobster for dinner so Jim and Danielle went home ( which is right up the street from us) and changed into something more comfortable!!!

Jim has always been a joker and a prankster so when they came back over for dinner.......
He wore PJ's over his clothes!!!!
That is quite a pair of PJ's, isn't it?????
LOL!!!!!

We celebrated with lobster tails that Joe made......
Scallops, shrimp, chicken fingers for Joey who does not like fish and fries.....
Our oldest son Joey who just loves to have his photo taken!!
Cutting the Wedding cake!!
Scratching off Lottery Tickets that were gifted to them by Joe and I!!
 No big winners this time!!
It was a lovely day and even though we have considered Danielle a member of our family for 10 years now.....
It is wonderful to have her as not only a Daughter in Love but as a Daughter in Law too!!!

We could not be happier!!!

Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
