Meet the Family!

 Jeni got to meet the Messerman side of the family yesterday! They arrived yesterday at a Resort in Puerta Plata so the four of us drove over to spend the day. It was pouring down rain when we got up in the morning (and I did order no rain for this week) but the day proved to be just fine, a bit cloudy but it didn't rain on us till the trip home that evening. So here are some pictures from the day.






Richard and Kelly were at the resort, they fly back to the States Tuesday, but it was nice to hang out with them too!


After lunch we had a little wedding shower on the beach.





Aunt Mary had put together a special gift for Jeni. She made a picture book of Cory's life.  I think Jeni really liked this gift and will treasure it.

This is a scene in Pennsylvania, a little touch of home!


 Jeni had a little something to give to the family then, a little token of the wedding.
Of course, what's a Messerrman gathering without a little volley ball.

Pap was the spectator.




It was  a lovely day, it's great to have some of our family here. For those of you who couldn't make it, we're thinking of you and wishing you could all be  here with us!

  2. Really been anticipating these pictures and they were really great to see!!! We recognized Mel right away from the lounge chair picture. We've seen that pose before many times. We want to know what was in all those bottles. Enjoy your week.Love to Cory and Jeni!

    1. Hi Rose, those decorated bottles contain some sand and a pink paper with Cory & Jen's name and wedding date. It is a custom here to give a token to the wedding guests.
