The Other End of the Table

Desiree posted a photograph taken from one end of this table on Facebook, and now I am posting a photograph taken from the other end. Both photographs feature the gathering of two families for a wedding. Adrian and Amber, the couple seated at the front left, will be getting married later this afternoon at the Green Valley Ranch Resort in Las Vegas (technically Henderson), Nevada.

Amber is my niece.

Desiree and I, along with my sister Paula and her husband Russ (the parents of the bride), are at the far end of the table in my picture.

Interesting fact: Adrian’s mother is from the Philippines, as is Desiree. So, here we go again, merging mountain people and island people together in a fine celebration. Good stuff, this!
