The prompts for this time were: flag, simple and/or complicated, at home (monthly), Wednesday weather, doorway, movement, and branched.

If you've been reading along, we've made it to the big event - my nephew's wedding! His wedding was supposed to be earlier, but due to the war, they had to postpone. Luckily, they were able to have it where they wanted and on the date they had rescheduled to. We arrived while they were taking photos, so I got some myself.
