After finally adjusting to the new time change, I had to make my way back to the states for my brother's wedding. When I was in Toronto, the guard at Customs told me I was a great sibling for flying home and back to Europe in one weekend (you're welcome, Alex). Even though I harassed him, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. This was going to be the last time in a long time before I could see either of my brothers again. Both of my brothers are pilots in the Air Force so it is always a rare occasion when my whole family is able to be together all at once but it was really special this time because Alex was deploying soon after the wedding. I flew into CVG (my home airport) so I was able to see my doggies!!!! But the next morning we departed to St. Louis where the wedding was going to take place. The rehearsal went by very quickly and then it was off to the dinner portion; the dinner was held at a BBQ joint and it was SO good. Naturally, jet lag had me up at 6 am the next day but it didn't matter because soon my sister and I had to get ready! It was great fun watching my soon to be new sister get ready for her big day and I had a blast being able to spend time with my sister again. The ceremony was over in 20 minutes... One thing about that brother in particular is he does not waste time doing anything so naturally his ceremony would be the shortest ceremony in the history of wedding ceremonies. Photos followed and instead of going on the bus with the rest of the bridal party my sister and I went back to the hotel with our parents since we couldn't really participate in the fun of the party bus (quite odd going from being legal to not being legal to drink). The reception was a blast and filled with so many friends and memories. Sadly after breakfast the next day I had to catch my flights back to Ireland. I was exhausted by the time I got back to Cork but I wouldn't have had it any other way.
