Minneapolis Family Reunion

The Soriano-Asuncion reunion was prompted by the wedding of my cousin's son in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The wedding was on August 9,2008; the celebrants: Ed and Kellie. The day was auspicious: clear, sunny weather, impeccable wedding ceremony and the reception at the bride's parents' home went smoothly as well.

The common denominator between the Soriano and the Asuncion families is on the maternal side: our mothers are sisters. The Sorianos are as spread apart as we are (Asuncions): 2 siblings from California, one from Washington state, and another from British Columbia.



This ratio is reversed in my family. While I am the only one in Brantford, my parents, a sister (Mayette) and brother Jonas with his family live in London,ON; my oldest brother (Marvin) & his family live in Woodhaven, Michigan, and a sister (Chalkie) live in Toronto.

The reception was held at the Brandt's (the bride's family home): Beautiful gardens, well-decorated and well- coordinated tables and delicious spread followed by dancing music.
