They tied the knot

We are home from Florida now. I can not believe how fast the week went by. On Thursday we went to the pool for a little while. It was such a nice day. That evening we went to my parents and I made programs for the wedding and helped get some last minute decorations done. We also had dinner with a dear friend of mine, Jennifer, her husband and son Conner. I used to babysit Conner when he was little, now he is about to start HS. Boy do I feel old! He was my ring bearer and Jen was my wedding coordinater. She is one of the most generous people I know and has always been so good to me. She gave Brian and I money toward a washer/dryer for a new house. She is such a sweetie! We had a good time with them. Friday everyone that was in town just hung out pretty much and then we had rehersal and rehersal dinner.

On Saturday Mom took me to get a pedicure along with her best friend and my Aunt Anna. We had fun doing that. The wedding went smoothly. It was fun for me, because I got to stay with the groom the whole time before it started. Normally, only the preacher and best man stay with the groom, which they did but I was added to the mix because I sang first thing while the parents were being seated and the mothers lit the candles. My song went well. Surprisingly, I wasn't too nervous. Before hand I looked out at the guests and saw Mr. Tom there sitting with out Carol and I got butterflys for a moment but my Uncle prayed with us before we went out and that calmed my nerves. I almost started to cry twice during my song, but I immediately focused on my focal point so that I could keep it all together. I did it with out messing up or crying and I felt good about it. However, I don't think I will be signing up to sing in another wedding anytime soon.
The ceremony went smoother than thought it would since there were 8 kids in it! But, they all pulled through and did what they were supposed to do. Brian was a great usher and I thought he looked so nice in his suit. Elizabeth, the bride looked so happy when she was up there. I pray that have a long and happy marriage.
