Well, since I last wrote I traveled South to the wedding for Grandchild # 7 on the 15th of August! It was a really hot day and the wedding was an outdoor event! There was about 100 guests, my granddaughter said! She was the hostess for the wedding and the reception since it was in her really lovely back yard!The wedding was at 5:30 in the evening and so the good old sun was really blazing!!! The reception area they had covered with a big tent so that was nice. They had tables set up for 8 people each and of course the yard and tent, etc. was decorated to a fare-thee-well!!!!
Mindy's (the bride) colors were a pale green, sort of an avocado, and off-white. They had built a bridge over the pool and the groom and groomsmen stood on the far side of the pool. Mindy and her attendants walked through the yard and across the bridge, highly decorated with tulle and flowers, to where Aaron was standing.
After the ceremony, the wedding party came out of the back door of the house and walked to the reception area. There was the Bride and Groom, all of the attendants and both sets of parents. The music was supplied by a deejay. The reception was catered and was very nice but it was getting late and we had to leave before they cut the cake.
After dinner, they had the usual dancing of the couple and the parents then tossing of the bride's bouquet, the bride's garter, etc. It was getting late. My feet were swelling and Bob was getting very tired so we made out excuses and left for home. We didn't get to see the cake and certainly didn't want any after the dinner that we had!!!
It was lovely Aaron, and I want to wish you and Mindy a good long married life!!! Love you both!!!!
