Wedding Highlights

Okay, so I went to a wedding over a week ago, and I'm just now finding time to post about it! Crazy! But I always tell people not to apologize for letting real life interfere with blog life, so I'm not apologizing. Just saying.

My friend Angie has been friends with the Walker family forever--the kind of friends that are more like family. So when she and I became roommates/sister-friends in college, I got to know the Walkers, too. Then last May, when I went to Mozambiqe to visit Angie on a mission trip, Chris Walker was living with them while he taught school there for a year, so I got re-acquainted with him over games of hearts and practical jokes. So when I was invited to his wedding, and then found out that Charlie and Angie were going to get to be there, I was thrilled!

So I packed up my 2 oldest girls on a cold, rainy Saturday and drove to Ruston, La. for the first time ever. Here are the highlights of the day:
1.) Seeing Angie and Charlie, of course! I love them.

2.) Seeing Chris so happy, and meeting his bride--I'm so happy for them.

3.) Pulling my dress out of my panties when we all stood up as the bride came down the aisle. Yes, that's what I said. I'm just glad it was then and not at the reception.

4.) Seeing the bride's strap on her dress keep slipping off her shoulder and remembering Angie, my matron of honor, having a similar problem at my wedding, and my mother's solution. *snort**

5.)Seeing the unity candle appear to go out after they lit it, then poof! burst back into flame. JUST like it did at Charlie and Angie's wedding!

6.) Wedding cake--mmm.

7.) Seeing Angie portrayed as an angel in a reception kiddie table coloring book--yeah, right. ;)

I know there was something else funny or neat that I meant to post about, but that's what happens when you're 43 and wait a week to write about something. Sigh. Feel free to visit Angie's World to see a picture.

*Her bra strap kept showing, so my Mom told her "Just take your bra off!"
