Today, Saturday, October 10th, 2009, my older cousin Justin (jokingly called "Justine" by his family), is getting married. He is the youngest of the three Balousek boys and the last to be married out of the three (though he is the fourth out of all of the kids in our generation, ahead of my cousins Mary Lee, Joe and me). We're staying at this AMAZING mansion in Sharron, Pennsylvania, called the Buhl Mansion. The original owner was the owner of a steel mill I think and very wealthy. It has a ton of the original decor including gold designs on the ceiling in the front parlors, marble floors, and the original staircase. I'll post pictures of it in my next post. However, one of the most amazing things is the paintings and art that is featured throughout the house. Monet, Manet, Degas, and Renoir are some of the biggest names and each painting is gorgeous.
The reason we're staying here is because Justin is actually getting married here. The wedding it to be outdoors (which is nice since all of the trees are starting to change and its one of the almost completely clear days you get in the north), and the reception will be in the gatehouse. I can't wait to see April's dress. She is Justin's fiance. I'll post a picture of that too later.
I can almost here Pachabell's Canon in D Major playing (in my head of course). Its going to be so much fun tonight.
Weddings are so nice. =)They make me happy. I miss you...when can we start emailing again?? I guess maybe you can't answer my question unless you post it, but I just wanted to let you know we all think of you a lot and still want to come see you in January.
