Jessica and Kevin's Wedding

Jessica McEttrick married her new husband Kevin earlier this summer, on July 19. My whole family attended the wedding. I grew up with Jessica and her sisters, and her parents, Barbara and Jim, are like my second set. It was such a wonderful wedding and Jessica looked gorgeous. We all had so much fun and it was so good to see friends and neighbors I haven't seen in so long.

The ceremony was at St. Pius V in Lynn, Massachusetts, and the reception was held at the Salem Country Club in Peabody. Jessica did such a wonderful job - the wedding had so many personal touches that made it very special.

These are some photos we took at the cocktail hour.
