Last weekend (7/27) we attended a wedding of a very good friend of mine. I was actually in the wedding. (So was my niece Stephanie - she was the "guest book attendant") My mother, youngest sister, her daughter Naomi, my niece Stephanie (my middle sister's daughter), Mike, myself, and Anne Marie all drove down on Thursday morning.
First the girls had our nails and toes done at a local salon. Then Thursday night the grooms parents hosted a lovely rehearsal dinner. Then Friday evening was the wedding. What a beautiful wedding & beautiful bride!
We all ended up staying until Sunday so that we could enjoy the beach while we were in town. The girls had a great time. We went to the beach 2 days and shopping one of the days as well.
It's just so much fun to attend a wedding. Watching a couple so in love promising to commit to each other & to start a life together. It just makes me think back on our wedding. Almost 12 years ago (this October) how young we were!! How much we didn't know and how God has brought us on this wonderful journey called "Life" -- ups and downs, rough spots and joyous ones. The adoption of the most perfect child he could have ever given us -- what a great trip! You just really never know when you say your vows what really is waiting for you down the road. I'm just so glad that God picked Mike for me!!
Waiting to walk down the Isle.
Me, Mike, Brian (groom) and Diane (bride)
