We went to a wedding last Saturday. The kids were welcome, so we all dressed up and headed to the 10am wedding service. It was a beautiful wedding and the bride and groom had such evident love and JOY coming from every pore! I love that! It's so exciting to watch a couple unite in marriage, when they intend to keep God at the center of their life together!
We typically ask someone to watch the kids when we attend weddings so that we don't have to worry about loudly whispered questions throughout the ceremony or quiet, but paper rattly, disputes over the Bibles and hymnals in the backs of pews (which wouldn't be nearly so exciting if we had them at our church, but we don't). But, no one was really available and the bride and groom had made it very clear that they'd love for the kids to attend too, so we complied. Since it was a breezy day, we dressed everyone up! The boys looked sooooo adorable in their suits! J' looked lovely in her velvety lavender dress. N' called it his tuxedo even though we explained several times that it's called a suit. He finally said, "I want to call my suit, my tuxedo." He was tickled to dress up "just like daddy!"
PT did a lovely job marrying the couple, and the kids and I sat in the back row of the small, but gorgeous, wedding chapel so that we wouldn't risk being a distraction. The only challenge I had was right at the beginning of the ceremony, when B' called out "Daddy! Daddy talking!" It sounded soooo loud to me, but no one seemed to hear him except the lady sitting directly in front of us :0)
What a fun day! J' and PT danced at the wedding reception -- I wish I had a pic of that to show you, but I didn't have the camera with me. These are a few shots we took when we arrived back at home.
