Wedding Bell Blues...

If you read yesterday's post
you know that my daughter's last
BFF from school is getting married.
Here's her day~
Kristin cried all

day.

She cried when she got up.

She cried when she got dressed.

She cried  and SHOOK

when she was

putting on her lipstick.

She cried when she

walked down the aisle

on the arm of her brother.

She wasn't crying because

she was sad.

No, indeedy!

She was crying because she

was so happy.

Happy and in love.

Happy and loved.

When she got to

the front of the church

a miracle happened.

She stopped crying

and

she started smiling.

She smiled for the rest of the day.

So~ You are wondering what

was the BLUE part of the day?

Well,

All the bridesmaids

wore aqua blue dresses.

Here's one sister...

Here's another sister...

Her friend and old roommate,

One of her best friends from school.

And, below is my daughter,

who decorated the church

and the reception hall,

and made the hairpieces

that matched the dresses..

Doncha just love the hanger in

the background?

Adds a little something special

doesn't it? unhmmm

(You know her best as the

Mom of SweetCheeks)

The flowergirls wore

dresses that my granddaughters

had worn.

Let me tell you,

they were expensive dresses

but today as we counted

the flowers girls that

had worn them we realized

that this was the

EIGHTH wedding

for these dresses.

Just the sash color gets changed.

We wash them on gentle and hang

them to dry.

Crazy, huh?

And MyHero did a wonderful

job performing the wedding.

It was tender and touching

and produced a few laughs.

However, at the end everyone was

quiet as the final prayer

of the blessing for

 a happy healthy marriage

winged its way towards Heaven.

The reception was a wonderful

affair.

It was at Brett Favre's

restuarant.

There was a lovely

mixed green salad.

a smoked chicken breast,

a small tenderloin,

potatoes,

fresh al dente veggies

and

cake.

Of course we had cake

At the end of the evening,

I asked for one last shot

of the bride and groom.

When I said

SHOT

they kinda looked at me..

and then I realized that

SHOT to a policeman

has a whole different

meaning.

They smiled anyway.

Congratulations,

Kristin and Taylor-

You are beautiful.

May God bless you

and your marriage.
