The Wedding....
So this has been a busy weekend for us. Saturday evening we drove to the church for the wedding rehearsal. It's the first time I met with the minister. My son had had some trepidations about marrying in the church. Some churches require several meetings beforehand and alot of questions are asked, and some even require you to attend meetings and attend church services beforehand for awhile. That is what my other son had to do before they got married (oh, and also give the proper amount of money each week!) Anyway, my son just didn't want to get into all that. So he wanted to get married in some small chapel nearby....very nondenominational.
She, however, wanted a church with a long aisle for her to walk down and big enough for everybody and large rooms for the girls to get ready in, etc. And I agreed. She was getting nowhere with my son and emailed me. So I told her to go ahead and have her grandmother make the arrangements cause I'll talk to him and he'll do it.
All it took was a couple emails from wise-ole mom and he finally agreed. So they had a beautiful church wedding on Sunday....and when she walked down that aisle I had tears running down my face. She was so beautiful...
Prior to the ceremony, they only had to meet with the minister a couple times; and yes, there was some online questionnaire with like 200 questions on it that they both had to answer and give to him. Alot of the questions were stupid as far as I was concerned. I would have answered "none of your business".
Anyway, back to the wedding....Her father came to the wedding(alone). He did not walk her down the aisle....she walked the aisle by herself. After the ceremony, he had his picture taken with her at the altar. We didn't talk to him. I didn't think he was going to be at the reception but he was there. He seemed to be enjoying himself. Again, we didn't talk to him. But she didn't do the father/daughter dance with him. Don't.know.why.I.didn't.ask....I mean, it's not like they are estranged. She and her daughter have been living with him and his wife since she's been divorced. She is only now just moving out.
So the wedding was perfect. The reception was perfect. I loved her dress and the dresses of her girls. Her daughter and a friend's daughter were flower girls. Noelle's dress and her daughter's dress were identical with the same color sash around their waistline which matched the color dress of her maid-of-honor. The other little girl's dress was also identical and her sash matched the bridesmaid's dresses. Just beautiful!
