Ah, wedding season is upon us! And I love it. Why? Simply because weddings celebrate love, family ties, friendships, young and
old(er) people together, pretty females in special dresses, handsome males in suits and ties - and happiness bubbles over like no other time in life aside from the birth of a child. I am a huge fan of happy!
Our family (minus little Miss E.) celebrated the wedding of Mike G. and his beautiful bride, Meghan N. together in Michigan this past weekend. Mike is John's long, long time friend from elementary school and Anne has been like a pseudo big sister to Mike; Wes and I consider Mike to be a part of our family, too.
How I remember the antics (and mischief) these two could get into together in the past - the volcano "explosions" in the kitchen while I was busy ironing upstairs, the time I looked out the window to see both boys standing on top of our shed, the forts they built from curbside refuge, the sleepovers where I feared to see the "morning after" effects. Many years later, it was Mike that made John tell us about John's blind date with Kari and their budding romance. These memories came flooding back to us as we watched Mike making his vows to Meghan, and both of us were rather teary and choked up. We love this guy.
It wasn't all that long ago that Mike gave the toast at John and Kari's wedding and that teared us up as well. We know we have been blessed to have Mike in our lives, and now Meghan will be blessed as well to have him as her husband.
I loved the colors - and style - of the bridesmaids dresses. Perfect for a spring wedding.
May is a special month for wedding memories for us, too. Soon we'll celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary.
Once we got to the reception venue (let's talk about charming here, it was in an old classic theatre ballroom) the eating and celebrating continued. After Meghan danced a bit with her father, all fathers were invited to share in the dance with their daughters.
Meaning that after Mike danced with his mother, Penny, all mother's were invited to dance with their sons. Here we are.
Seeing my four dance together certainly warranted yet another camera pull-out!
Though, I am not quite sure that one in this picture was excited to see the camera pulled out yet again --- I apologize.
