The highlight of my summer was most certainly David and Erin Gwynne's wedding. David was the first Scottish person to welcome me when I arrived in Aberdeen. He actually came over to my flat the day I moved in because he lived right across from me. I was immensely blessed to have him as a friend, neighbor, and personal life assistant. He showed me which bus to ride, how to count the currency, where to buy good coffee, and many other life essentials for living abroad. Not to mention the fact that he let me come to his flat and steal wireless internet from his neighbors the first three months I was in Scotland. Priceless!Dave met Erin when she came to Scotland on a mission trip (that's how all these Scottish-American couples meet. I'm just wondering why it didn't work out so nicely for me?).
The wedding was in Chicago so I was able to attend. Not only that, but Linda, Mike, and Alastair came from Scotland for the wedding so I got to see them as well! It was a weekend full of reminiscing, catching up, and full-on banter. Anyone that knows me at all knows that seeing these precious people meant more to me that I could possibly articulate. It was my best weekend since I've been back from Scotland! To see all my pictures from the wedding, clicky here. 
Lovely

There's a good looking bunch. I do love kilts!

One of the reasons this weekend was so awesome was because of the little lady 2nd from the right -- my best friend Emily. She took the bus down from Detroit, MI to spend the weekend with me. It was so special that my friends from Scotland got to meet the most precious bb of my life! Needless to say, they adored each other.

And of course there was a lot of good dancing!
Decorating the car was a new experience for Alastair and Mike.
Umm, yeah! Why wouldn't we?
