New Brunswick and the wedding

Chris, Rusty, Simon and I left Vancouver late on Wednesday the 17th and arrived here safe on Thursday morning if a little worse for wear. I had a pretty restless trip but I survived.
It has taken me a bit to adjust and a lot of napping but I managed. Chris and I still end up napping most afternoons if we get the chance but that's expected for me and good for Chris. It's nice to see him really relax sometimes.
I'm just getting larger and larger everyday. That was proven to me when I got dressed for Daniel's wedding on Saturday! I'd just bought the dress and a bra the week before and already they didn't fit 'up top'! I spent much of the time trying to cover up with a scarf! I got teased a lot that's for sure. Oh well.
Daniel's wedding went well, it was simple and pretty. The reception was also nice. They had a morning wedding so a brunch reception, which was different and enjoyable. Then rather than a 'first dance' they had a 'first game' (of croquet) but didn't even finish one game there was too much hilarity and Natalie was doing so badly! I think most people liked it, and they survived the hubbub.
As things began winding down and photo's were done Ben, Chris and I went out to play Botchee (sp?) ball and Croquet. Josh (Daniel's bestman) then informed Chris and Ben of rules we were unsure of which unleashed the demons. That rule being the one saying if you hit an opponents ball you can keep hitting it until it's out of the way. SO....they took that to the extreme blasting those balls quite a ways across the golf course. (where the reception was held) I got some funny shots of that that I will post later.
Since the wedding we've been keeping things pretty quiet. Went to dinner at my Aunt Marilyn's with some of the Ricker cousins on Sunday night, that was nice. Today we went to Magnetic Hill and did the 'magnetic hill', so Chris could experience that weirdness and so I could get a beaver tail...yum. That's about it so far. It's been nice to spend time with the family and relax, even if I am huge. (for me!)
