...an evening wedding...with just the couple...and a couple of their close friends as witnesses...I won't go into any of the details of the situation...but it's all very sweet...they called the Man...and asked if he could do a quick wedding ceremony for them after Church on Wednesday...
...so of course I immediately set about trying to make it as special as possible...
...I stopped at the local second chance store...and bought a couple of toasting glasses...and embellished them with some little 'Bride' and 'Groom' tags...
...then I baked a white cake (vegan of course)...and frosted it kinda pretty...
...I looked for some sort of topper...I didn't want to go with the traditional Bride and Groom toppers as this wasn't really that sort of a wedding...and I found this little ceramic potpourri holder...it says "Wishing you a lifetime of love"...sweet...
...the Man did a traditional wedding ceremony...and I played a short prelude and recessional on the piano...
...and we all rejoined in the fellowship hall for some refreshments...
...the Bride and Groom cut their cake...
...and we all toasted their happiness...
...I felt a bit like I was part of an Andy Griffith show...it was sweet and simple and fun and memorable too...as all weddings should be...
I'm sure that will be memorable for the happy couple. The glasses and cake were a quick nice touch. MOM
ReplyDeleteyes, how sweet! you're such a nice person!!
ReplyDeletelove, k
Such a lovely and loving thing to do for them.
ReplyDeleteAnd what Karen said.
Isn't that just lovely?! I love it! I once knew a woman who only wore a small silver band, because she said her wedding band represented Christ's relationship to the church, so it should be humble. It was so moving, that when Greg and I went to pick out bands, I got the skinniest, tiniest band they had. I couldn't love it more. A marriage is nothing about thousands of dollars spent on flowers and sit down dinners. Good for them! And blessings to them too!
ReplyDeleteIt was very sweet of you to run out and get the glasses, and drinks and to make the cake. I hope the couple has a long and happy life together.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet and lovely. I'm glad you could add some special touches to their day!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting teary. It's so sweet!
ReplyDeleteAwwww! you are so sweet to make their day so extra special! And you play piano too? Does the list of your talents ever end? You are so awesome. Move to Massachusetts so we can hang out?
