| This is my uncle Dave Niermeyer making faces at our rehearsal dinner. From what I've heard and seen, he was probably the goofiest of the four Niermeyer brothers and the most likely to get into trouble. I'm quite astounded they ever let another Niermeyer on the St. John Fisher College campus after my uncle Dave went there. |
DAY 7: Loved Ones Who Make Me Laugh-a-Lot
There are a number of people in my life who have made me laugh quite often. Those pictured here are the ones that stick out right now, but I know there are many more who have helped a fairly serious girl like me loosen up.
 |
| This photo taken at our wedding reception September 2004 is of my dad with his three older brothers: Rich, Bob, Dave, and my dad (James Niermeyer). The Fab Four were notorious from an early age for their pranks, practical jokes, and the great lengths they'd go to in order to get a laugh. |
 |
| Naturally, one of the things that attracted me to Kevin early on in our relationship was his wonderful sense of humor. We'd been joking about the possibility of dressing up as characters from the movie Men in Black, but when Kevin thought of spray-painting a water gun to make it look like one of the "flashy things" to erase people's memories after they'd had an alien encounter, we couldn't resist. |
 |
| Kevin's sisters and their main men always entertain us with their antics. Our visits to Rochester and stays at the cottage are hilariously enhanced by their ongoing banter, wordplays, and good-natured harassment. |
 |
| My friend Michele has always been able to make me smile and often burst out laughing. She gets herself into some of the most hysterical situations and has a very unique way of looking at and interacting with the world. |
 |
| These fabulous five people have brought a great deal of joy and laughter into our lives. Carl, Jess, and their daughters (three silly sisters for whom I used to nanny) never cease to amaze and amuse us with their stories, observations, and interactions. |
