Wonderful Wedding of Mo and Danny

Cousin Hunter and Mary Margeret's daughter, Maureen (Mo) Hollar, got married Friday evening to Danny McKenna.

(This overview was "borrowed" from my cousin's FB wall.  Thanks, Quentin!)

The wedding was held at the King Family Vinyards in Crozet (about 15 miles west of Charlottesville), Virginia. 


It rained most of the day so they decided to be safe and put up a tent.  Thankfully, the rain stopped and the weather was lovely.

I knew the bride would be beautiful.

The back of Maureen's dress was beautiful, too.  


The simplicity reminded me of the good taste and simplicity of Kate Middleton's dress in the recent royal wedding.

Isn't there a nursery rhyme about  "Pretty girls all in a row..."

Ed and I were honored to be invited.

After a luscious dinner of roast duck and steak, the cake was cut and the dancing continued.

The show stealer of the evening was Mo's little niece who was the flower girl.  She was so intense about dropping every petal in her basket.  She got to the front and had some petals left over so she walked back and forth a bit until that last petal was gone.

She also made a grand entrance into the reception.  

It's such a joy to watch a child before they become self-conscious.  

A picturesque setting, charming people, delectable food, and a rockin' live band created a wedding that was a true celebration 

of the GREAT LOVE 

of Maureen and Danny McKenna.

 Best wishes for a joyful life together!
