Marriage is a book of which the first chapter is written in poetry and the remaining chapters in prose.

When I last left you, a wedding lingered before us. Four days after the event, I'm still exhausted, but after a fairly good night's sleep, wanted to offer a glimpse of the festivity.
Such fun we had. Such laughter. Old friends, fun family. Beautiful weather. And the newly married off on their honeymoon. Below, a couple of photos. Will catch up more as soon as I catch my breath.
I wish. Ian's 18th birthday last night, Senior Awards tonight, baseball games Friday and Saturday, my mom visiting. Graduation in Arizona next week. Dream on, Julie. Dream on.P.S. I will post a photo of me in my dress as soon as I get one that isn't all blurred. That IS me on the right in the top photo. Purple lady.

oh, it looks like it was a beautiful wedding! Love the boots that the bridesmaids are wearing!
ReplyDeleteYou do deserve to catch your breath. Loved the photos...what a sweet looking couple. And that car! What a classic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wedding, bride and groom, setting, and photos! Can't wait to see more! So glad that all went well! Hang in there, you'll be in that hammock, soon!
ReplyDeleteI do love the way you have your weddings out of doors over there. What a beautiful setting - all good wishes to the happy couple.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear all was magical and beautiful. Love the pictures. That car is great! And the hammock will be there when everyone is finally gone. Breathe. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe bride and groom are glowing, loved the photos and so hope you will post more, I want to see you in your dress and am still wondering what song you danced too with your son. Okay perhaps that does sound like I'm nosey but honestly I am just interested I promise.
ReplyDeleteLife sounds busy but good at your house....big hugs to your mom...:-)
Wow, beautiful setting, lovely bride and groom...and of course an exhausted mom. Love the boots.
ReplyDeleteThat hammock will still be waiting for you whenever you finally have time for it. I hope so, anyway.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see these pictures of such a happy day - and we will wait patiently to hear what you put on your own feet, and what they danced to.
Did you cry?
I love weddings...
ReplyDelete...this looks like it was a perfectly perfect one!
Gorgeous bride. Beautiful setting. Love the cowboy boots. Take a deep breath and relax. You deserve it. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI can just taste the richness (and exhaustion) of your life right now in these words...it's too much, but it's just right, and you wouldn't have it any other way.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS wedding, esp the boots!
Your mom says the wedding was lovely and the couple are honeymooning in Italy...how romantic!
ReplyDeleteI agree we need to see that famous dress, Julie.

Stunning couple! Beautiful wedding. Now, be good to yourself, go out to dinner every night for a while.
ReplyDeleteMy Dear Purple Lady,
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks beautiful from the back.
And the wedding looks like it was even more beautiful than your hair. Chelsea ... stunning. Jacob ... as handsome as a groom ever was.
I am so sorry to have missed it. I thought of you all on Saturday as the storm cleared and the weather turned gorgeous.
You should get a purple heart to go with that dress, for surviving ALL of these events at once. The hammock will reward you.
What a beautiful couple. And those boots are a hoot. We'll need details about that. :)
ReplyDeleteDitto everyone else on the Uggs. You certainly have a full plate! I look forward to seeing your dress when you have a little time.
ReplyDeleteSo glad everything went off without a hitch! Handsome couple! ain't love grand?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more pictures...and whatever happened about the flights from Amsterdam that were held back by the ash from Iceland?
