4th day in Lithuania

What a difference a day makes! I am still feeling uneasy about everything that happened in London. We went through Edgware station several times. And we went through King's Cross and I am pretty sure we went through Liverpool at least once. I am not sure which lines were the ones that had the accidents as there are several lines that run through each station. I just know that it's a very uneasy feeling to think that we could have been on the trains when the terrorists were there scoping it out. Or that we could have been there when it happened!

Going through something like this again, (after Sept. 11th) just reinforces the fact that life is so short and precious! You have to take advantage of it while you can!

I am pretty sore after my yoga on Wednesday. So, yesterday I just walked on the treadmill while I watched CNN. Today I was good and got up and practiced my yoga even though I was sore.

So, back to our trip. Saturday was the big wedding day! Hubby, Bob and myself headed to Eva's house at noon to be there for everything. I helped Eva get ready once she got home from the salon, she got her hair and makeup done. The guys waited in another room with the door shut until Eva was completely ready. Then when Scott came in, he presented Eva with her bouquet. Then they were blessed by her parents. We then had a shot of brandy and some food. Then off to the wedding house.

At the wedding house, there are several groups of wedding parties waiting their turn. Right before it was Scott and Eva's turn to be married, they have to go into contemplation rooms for a few minutes separatly to think about getting married and to be sure it is what they want to do. We then proceeded into the room where they were married. After a champagne toast, we headed outside for pictures. Here are some pictures from the wedding house:







From there we headed off in the cars to Trakai, to the castle. Yes the same castle we were at a few days before. There are lots of places for some beautiful photos there! Here are a few pictures from the castle area:













After that we headed back to Vilnius for the reception. It was at a nice hotel. Here we are with the bride and groom at the beginning of the reception:



Yes, there was lots of Russian vodka, and the reception was mostly in Russian and Polish, but occasionally some English. It was lots of fun and the night finally ended at about 1:30am. It was a LONG day and we were happy to finally make it back to the hotel.
