A lovely wedding

It's a little unnerving to be at a stage in life where your friend's kids are getting married. Especially when the bride was a high school friend of our oldest son (even though she is three years older....). Still, our own three kids are in pretty serious relationships right now, so we might not be too far from discovering the in-law experience (as in having a daughter- or son-in-law)/

Anyway, this wedding was really fantastic. Both bride and groom are gifted musicians, so the music at the wedding was absolutely wonderful. It was fun to be at a church with a pipe organ again, and hear a brass quintet. Music right after the ceremony was performed by a percussion teacher at the couple's college--he played beautifully on the marimba. A pianist provided background music at the reception.

It was good to see old friends, too, and catch up on what's been happening in their lives and in the lives of mutual friends. Many people from our old church attended the wedding.

And the food--wow! There was a veggie/cheese/cracker bar before the dinner. And the buffet dinner included sliced roast pork AND chicken kiev. We toasted the bride and groom several times with sparkling juice. And, each time the bride and groom were summoned to kiss, they picked out another couple to join in the smooching. It was especially fun to watch the groom's grandparents lock lips!

I love weddings. I know Tim thinks there are better things to do than sit in a church on a summer day, but he really enjoyed this celebration. Congratulations, Tim & Sarah!

Till next time,
