I wish I could bring you all with me to feel this fairy tale of a wedding.
It’s been so beautiful even though I am older and jaded about marriage.
They are both so young and full of energy.
We were up till midnight dancing in celebration.
There is a houseful of people.
I’ve been helping cook and clean for days.
But that’s the part that I love the most. The bonding and intimacy that comes with the work. Supporting my bestie as her last child in the nest gets married to his best friend.
Here are a few pics.
-Me trying to get Colleen (mother of the groom) to chill out a little. She needed a beer and some love and the inspiration of a funny pic.
-The bride took a pic before the ceremony of us all. I am behind someone and nearly impossible to identify. My bestie in the front row made a funny.
-The wedding was set in front of the gorgeous lake but the wind blew 20 mph for the last two days and made it a challenge because everything was blowing over. Some ladies had to change their outfits because their dresses were blowing up. I wore shorts under mine.
-the reception in front of this grand home. There was no backup plan if it rained so thankfully this day was perfect. There was about 140 people in attendance.
So my apologies for being a bit distracted.
I will be back in full force tomorrow.
