The Wedding

I can't remember how much, if anything, I'd said about the wedding.

Yesterday was my brother Larry and his wife Mitzi's 20th wedding anniversary. That's a pretty major accomplishment, especially in today's world.

For a good while, Mitzi has been planning a wedding. More than just a vow renewal, it was a full blown wedding with the long white dress and bridesmaids, etc. So that was last night.

My daughter, Renee, as well as their daughter, Meaghan, were bridesmaids. All the girls looked so pretty - they wore dresses colored "apple" - the deep dark red like a delicious apple. Larry's guys were all in black - with red ties - made for a very pretty scene.

After the ceremony, there was a party at the American Legion - which was a lot of fun and I ended up staying until 10:00 pm - which is a VERY LATE night for me. I'm almost always sitting up in my bed by 8:00 PM at the latest, earlier if something I watch regularly is on t.v.

I'm sure this morning they are very glad it is in the past - these things seem to take over all of your time, energy and money - and make for great memories - you're just always glad that they're over when they are. For their sakes, I wish more people had shown up - I know they invited about 300 folks and there was probably 50-60 there - not bad for a very rainy Friday night - I just worry their feelings were hurt.

There were some cutie pie kids - the flower girl, the ring bearer, and the attendant for the train were all just precious! Not to mention Austin looking so handsome in a white dress shirt and kackies.

I've been up awhile now, I sure do wish I'd brought home wedding cake to have with my coffee!
