Weekend

A little over 30 years ago my neighbor had a beautiful daughter. One day I picked her up and this sweet little baby stuck her finger in my eye and scratched it. This meant wearing a patch on my eye and if I didn't there was pain. What does this have to do with the weekend?
Saturday , my son John,his wife Rebecca and I went to this girl's wedding. It was outside in a park on the shore of Lake Michigan in Escanaba , Michigan. They had it by the band shell. So the seating was all set up. The bride's father set up a tent so the bride and her attendents could not be seen until she walked down the aisle. The weather was even nicer than was forcasted. The parents had colored sand (brown &blue) which they placed in a glass candle holder instead of a candle.
The two flower girls spread rose petals were dressed in brown dresses with blue sashes. The attendents wore beautiful blue dresses. The men were in brown tux. The bride had a blue band at the top of her dress and blue and white lacing down the back of her gown. The service was beautiful. When Karen and Mike walked back the aisle they were treated with bubbles from containers that everyone got. The containers were even trimed with blue and brown tiny ribbons. It was beautiful.
At the reception there was a small net bag with blue and brown m&ms with a little tag saying thank you. The cake was frosted in brown and blue. It was a great day.
We left and drove the hour home happy but tired. My son drove and he and his wife saw 3 deer along side the road. I only saw the last one. He was just about in the road. We were in the country and it was dark. But the good Lord kept us safe.
Have a great week and God Bless!

Sounds like a lovely wedding...it must be so strange to see little ones grow up and marry.

Hugs.

it was a lovely wedding! the one thing that kind of cracked me up was that there were 10 blue m&m's and 10 brown m&m's in each bag. do you think they did that for OCD people like myself? lol. Okay, I'm really the only one that laughed...

I didn't check the number of m&ms on the mirror in the middle of the table,but they were probably
the same to. When you strive to get everything perfect it can be maddening. The main thing was at the end of the day they were man and wife.

Sarah,Its surprising how fast the wee ones grow up. Enjoy yours as they are still little. Hugs
