On December 10, Tal's brother Benny and his fiancee EJ got married! It was a special day filled with many happy memories. (Thanks to Tal's cousin Joe for sharing many of the ceremony photos below.)

Flower Girls
Savannah and EJ's niece Avery
I cry every time I remember Savannah walking down the aisle as a flower girl. She took about 5 steps, dropped a few flower petals, and then ran down the aisle into her Uncle Benny's arms. Such a sweet moment!
EJ and her Dad
Benny and EJ had a large wedding party with 11 people on each side. Tal served as Benny's best man, while I was a last-minute bridesmaid. Less than 30 minutes before the wedding, EJ learned that one of her bridesmaids was in the hospital. Since I was wearing a black dress, EJ asked me to stand in the wedding (and I was happy to help!).

for the rest of the service.

One of my favorite memories was watching Savannah dance at the reception. For over an hour, she twirled and jumped to the music. Savannah had the best time!

Savannah loved being a princess for the day so much
that she didn't want to take off her dress at bedtime.
