Sunday Thanks: Wedding Music
We have had the great pleasure of working with our church's wonderful music director in putting together the music for our wedding ceremony. James had a particular song that he really wanted to use for the procession. It is not a church song--in fact, it is from a movie (are you surprised!?).
We gave the music to our director a few weeks ago and today she played it for us. It sounds absolutely beautiful, and it made me so excited to know that I will be walking down the aisle to a song that means so much to James!
So, today I am obviously feeling thankful for our patient music director who has been so committed to ensuring that our wedding ceremony is perfect! We both feel that, as long as our ceremony is exactly what we want, the rest of the day can go any way, good or bad, and we won't care.

I've been a little busy...
...enjoying my spring break from classes and doing A LOT of wedding planning! My Mom was up from Saturday to Tuesday and we covered some serious ground on the planning. Here are hints about some of the things we planned:
I also made an insane to-do list that is now about 2 pages long. Now that the big things are done, it's all of those little things that creep up on you and take a lot of time and thought. After four days of planning, I was a little stressed and a lot tired. As simple as we are keeping our day, there are a lot of details that go into planning a party for 200 people. Yes, 200 people. When I tell people that our guest list is that big, their eyes get wide and they usually just say, "Oohh, wow..." :) Hey, we have big families and lots of friends, and I think we're doing alright if our biggest "problem" is having lots of people we love to invite! We are having a lot of fun planning, and James and I are both really excited about the specialness and sacredness of our day.

Benny's got a new pair of shoes!
I purchased my wedding shoes today!! Yay! They are flats (score!) and gold (double score!) and I love them dearly! I wish I could wear them tomorrow...but I won't.
Before buying my shoes, James and I had a very fancy dinner of hot dogs. Check out my masterfully applied mustard.
And these are my wedding shoes! I don't have a problem sharing them early. They're special, yes, but not too special to give a sneak peek!

Aren't they cute as a button?

Little Friend's Wedding
Yesterday I had the pleasure of watching my "little friend" Ashley marry the wonderful Joseph! Ashley and I met our freshman year of college at Saint Rose and we've been buddies ever since.
Joseph and Ashley had a personal and intimate ceremony that was utterly and perfectly "them"--I don't think anyone who was there would disagree.
Their moms set the alter for communion, which was just beautiful and, again, added to the intimacy of the day. It was all about Joe, Ashley and their families.
I loved seeing their parent's pray the Lord's Prayer together, and I couldn't help but snap a picture.
Their church is very inviting--I loved the altar and the way Christ was personified here.
Everyone worked together to put out the delicious meal. Fr. Shaw even cut the sandwich!
I love these two, and I am so blessed to call them friends!
Ashley, you mean the world to me and I thank you for including me in your special day! (p.s. Now do you see why I lovingly call Ashley my "little friend"?)
The bride's bouquet.
And gift table, where everyone left their love on a frame from Ashley's parents.
It was a beautiful day. I don't think Ashley and Joe could have asked for anything better, and I wish them so much joy and LAUGHTER in their life together!!!
