And then it was wedding day!!!! YAY!!! It was an absolutely beautiful winter day...sunny, (cold, yes), blue skies, and gorgeous snow everywhere. The morning was spent getting everyone ready. My fabulous, lovely, wonderful, talented, gorgeous, beautifully pregnant sister-in-law A agreed to help me do my hair, which I will be forever grateful! She curled it all and then we pinned some of it back - turned out great. Then brother M and I were off for pictures for the wedding party. A also helped S get the kids ready and curled G's hair too (which G just loved).

The wedding started at 4:30pm, and everything went so smoothly and was so beautiful. They had a lot of music in the wedding, which fits both of them so well, including a number of pieces sung by a quartet from Brookings that J knows. The fun thing was that S & I know this quartet too, but completely independently if J so it was neat to find out they were singing at the wedding.

Their Bible passage was Ecclesiastes 4:12 which says "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." The pastor had a beautiful message about the role of the man, the woman, and God in marriage. And after L & J lit the unity candle, they braded a cord with 3 strands, which fit so well in the ceremony.
