O make me Thine forever;
And, should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Out live my love to Thee.

Alexanders & Sylvestres

One amazing thing about a wedding is getting to have lots of people you love all in the same room at the same time. It can also be demanding and overwhelming but totally worth it :).

When Corey and I began to talk about the wedding weekend, we really wanted to capitalize on the minimal time we had with our entire families in the same place for a few days. Our parents had met via skype on Thanksgiving 2012 but never in person. Corey's parents live in very far north New Hampshire and had made the trip along with Corey's siblings/wives/children to the Alexander farm.

So, the Thursday before the wedding we all gathered for some snacks and time on the farm to just hang out together. A few friends and other family dropped in as well. I wish I took more pictures of the family together but this at least gives you an idea. People sat around on the porch, played horseshoes and took tours of the farm in the back of the truck.
