We Had a Wedding!- Part 2 of 2

From the bride's handmade cake toppers...


                                                 ...to my son-in-law's bouquets...



                                           ...and my felted votive candle holders...



                                ...there was a lot of family love poured into this day!


                            
                                                   My friends all indulged me...



                                   ...by posing with our table's candle centerpiece...



                                          ...for the promise of eternal 'blog fame'...
                                                 
                                                           ...such as it is.  ;)



                                            My eldest daughter and her husband.



                                           Me, enjoying my transient 'gianthood'...

                                     ...while flanked by my dear (and quite tiny) friends.

                              (Sisters, really...part of my 'logical' (not biological) family!)



                       The newlyweds take center stage on the outdoor dance floor...




                                                   ...but others quickly join in!



                                                         The darkening sky...



                                                    ...can't stop the music...



                                                         ...or the dancing...


                                   
                                                       ...or the sheer joy...
              

                                                     ...of this beautiful event!



                                     What an incredible day in the life of our family!

               (A big thank-you to all of you for your warm wishes and kind remarks!)

We Had a Wedding!- Part 1 of 2

The venue for my daughter's wedding...

...in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania...


                                                   ...was rustic and secluded...


                                          ...and my bedroom in the main lodge...


                                               ...was absolutely enormous! :)


                                       My daughter made such a stunning bride...

                                  
                                                         ...don't you think?... 


                     ...and we were thrilled to have the most perfect weather that day!


                                       The grounds were charmingly landscaped...


                                 ...and the chapel, like the rest of the outbuildings...



                                   ...featured the warm shades of natural wood...


                                                 ...plus stained-glass windows.




                                    The bride, three sisters and a (new) sister-in-law.


                                                       The (very) dapper groom.


                                           My four wonderful daughters...one, two...


                                                              ...three, four. :)


                                            I was asked to read a tender poem...

                                   ...(The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer)...

                                              ...which nearly had me in tears. ;)



                                       Our beautiful newlyweds, Rob and Lydia...

                                                         ...Congratulations!


                                        Next time: their festive wedding reception...

                                    ...and my votive candle holders 'in action'! :)
