We Have Been Wedding-ing (#1)

This past Saturday was an especially sweet wedding of one of my former preschool students,  the lovely miss on the top right of this school picture. (I loved this class!)

 

I have been blessed to keep in touch with the family of the bride and the bride herself as we are members in the same church family. When the Save the Date card arrived in the mail, needless to say, I was over the moon to think of being able to celebrate with this bride that I had formerly taught.

The wedding was in Wisconsin.  It was a cold day, and we bundled up.  Not only did the invitation give directions, but we were informed that jeans and boots were acceptable attire.  Hmmm...would Wes be willing to wear that fancy cowboy shirt and jeans?  Yes, yes he would.  And I layered myself with a dress normally worn without a shirt under it and a corduroy jacket on top of it and we were set.

From the moment we drove up to the reception venue, we knew we were in for a very special time!

Once inside we found out where we would be seated with the list written on old windows.

There was a tent set up outside (with ample heaters )and long farm tables filled the tent. Burlap topped with lace ran the length of the tables. Flowers in glass jars and flickering candles set a mood of country comfort.

Now let's talk about the food: Pig roast! Chicken wings! Corn bread with honey! And more.

We also were able to reconnect with folks who feel like family, and meet baby Sig for the first time.

The father of the bride gave a poignant speech and not many dry eyes were to be found inside the tent. Toasts, dancing and much joy and merriment continued throughout the magical evening.

All the best to you, newlyweds C and B. May you have a very happy life together indeed. 

You certainly went to the head of the class with this wedding!
