The Westermans

Alex and Ashley  Westerman

August 5th, 2011 marked the day my mother and father 'gave away' their last daughter.  Ashley and Alex were married at the Blue Heavens Studio in Salina, KS, reception followed at the Salina Country Club.  It was a fantastic day and night.  It was great meeting all of Alexs' family and seeing all of mine, it is a rare occasion when I have both sides of my family together in one building.  Ashley of course looked beautiful and she was not one bit nervous to sign her life away to Alex.  Alex is a great guy and I know he is going to take good care of my baby sister.  It takes a good man to put up with us Dinkel/Siler girls, we are; stubborn, relentless, and confident  but he seems to deal with us both with ease.  Alex has entered a very tight nit family and he fits right in. So, congratulations to Ashley and Alex, Bryan and I wish you a happy life together! :)

This was such a bad and painful idea

The Westerman's spent their honeymoon in the Bahamas.  This will definitely be a vacation to remember for both of them, especially since Ashley found out, the hard way, that she has now acquired an allergy to shellfish.  I'll spare you all the gruesome details, but for the first time in her life she had to use her epipen.  However easy most would think this would be for two nurses, we would be dead wrong.  Who knew that nurses don't actually use epipens, rather they use the IV to inject epinephrine....Greys Anatomy has mislead me all these years.  Anyways, neither one of them had ever had to use an epipen so, needless to say it is painful, according to Ashley.  And, although she used the pen, she still had to go to the hospital and was put on steroids for the rest of the vacation.  Like I have always said, she is a drama queen! :) If Ashley ever updates her blog maybe we will all be able to read about their full honeymoon events.
