My baby got married this past weekend and it was beautiful! It's hard to believe that she's now grown and on her own with her dear husband. But it's a good change and we're all so happy for both of them. We started off the weekend with the bridesmaids' luncheon...
The bride to be, her sister, and me..
Bethany...
The rehearsal...
DH and me at the rehearsal dinner...
My six at the dinner...
The future Mr. and Mrs...
The bridal dance...
Look at that smile!...
The father-daughter dance... DH used to play the guitar and sing to the children when they were little, so he chose one of those songs - Puff, the Magic Dragon...
At the reception...
Mr. and Mrs....
My favorite portrait... reminds me of the endearing, imaginative, playful child she was...So now DH and I are nostalgic once again. We're used to having the kids gone, but this summer, two of them have been with us for at least half the summer, so the house was full again. Now it's quiet and we reflect on how blessed we've been to have had the privilege of raising our three children and seeing them all happily married to in-laws we dearly love. Lord willing we will never take this for granted, for tomorrow is never a guarantee.
Thank you all for letting me share my heart with you and know this fact...
I am officially retired from weddings! LOL
Now on to the stitching!
