The Saga of the Dresses Resolved

Black Dresses Looking Smart
The Official Adults in the Party

Since my last blog was about the dresses, I'll start there!! As you can see there are 10 on the grooms side, 10 on the brides side, and the 2 flower girls out of the 10 children in the wedding.
The black dresses all came in and the girls chose what they felt most comfortable in and wore that style. Quite stunning don't you think? The shoes, of course, hurt everyone's feet but were red. And were removed early in the reception!!!
The Bridesmaids and 1 bridesman proceeded down the aisle to a gospel choir singing a lively rendition of "Joyful, Joyful We adore Thee, God of Glory Lord of light....." I can still feel the beat as I write.
As Sarah approached the head of the aisle , to the traditional wedding march, Daren saw her for the first time. He mouthed "O MY Gosh" and began to cry. He could not take his eyes off her.
She , in this mother's opinion, was the most beautiful bride.
The pastor stood with his back to the guests, and the bride and groom facing us. We were able to watch their joyful expressions as the ceremony took place.

The couple left the ceremony to the Choir singing " Signed, Sealed Delivered--------I'm Yours!!!"
This time the guests clapped along.

My daughter has always marched to her own wonderful beat. Creative, decisive, with great imagination and especially laughter. When They were looking at venues for the service they really wanted a downtown church but were unable to find one suitable. When the walked into the Portland Art Museum, Sarah said, "This is it"; Daren said "It's a little over the top don't you think?" Sarah's response true to form. "Daren, I'M over the top!!!!!!"
So it was settled and their presence really did fill the place.
So they are married and off to Tahiti
( one bit of advice from the brides Mom. don't take presents to the wedding if you can help it, but a little red wagon helps)

Next time I have learned what the "Prop" man does and what to do with 8 ring bearers.

Now onto my 60's Chicks Cruise Planning
