Wedding Day

Aunt Mary and Uncle Mike's wedding was absolutely perfect. The weather was made-to-order...sunny but not too hot, with a pleasant breeze blowing throughout the afternoon. My sister was a gorgeous bride, simply glowing in her beautiful dress and veil. The groom was quite handsome and seemed so happy. The ceremony was very special, with family and loved ones participating throughout, and having Uncle John home from Rome to witness the vows made it even more poignant.

And the kids? They were picture-perfect. So many children were involved in the wedding, from flower girls to ring bearers to babies watching from the pews. And they all behaved wonderfully. Beth and Amy looked so pretty in their dresses, and they performed their roles with pride. They carefully marched down the aisle, dropping flower petals all the way. Beth was so anxious to get going that she trotted ahead of Amy and Ella, but it still looked adorable. The ring bearers were handsome in their tuxes, and they also made it down the aisle perfectly.

The reception was one of the best I have ever been to. Beth, Amy and Erin had a blast dancing up a storm with the bride, groom, aunts and uncles, Grandparents, and anyone that would grab their hands. Beth finally lost her spark at 8:30pm, at which point she begged for someone to put her into pajamas and help her find her bed, so we headed for home.

After the girls were tucked into bed, Dan and I sat up for awhile and talked about the beautiful day. We were so proud of our girls, and we are thrilled that Mary and Mike's day went so smoothly. Now they are off on their honeymoon! Congratulations, Mary and Mike!! We wish you happiness always!
