We had the most wonderful day.  Over 300 people showed up, it was horribly stormy off and on, but at the most important moments, it was perfect.  We had to start 15 minutes late because people just kept coming an coming.  There was a huge downpour as the most people arrived.  Someone told me that there was a line of cars a mile long!  I wish I could have seen that!  I put all the pictures from the wedding day on flikr and if I can figure out how to get them linked here, I will do it soon but I need to go to bed.  We slept about 4 hours last night, both hubby and I got sick when we got home.  It probably had to do with not eating much all day but junk, then eating dinner at 9:30 pm. 

We had an ice cream social and it was so much fun!

The little imp walked the grandparents in and then me.  He did such a great job … that aisle was so long!  I have to find out who was in the area that he slowed up and smiled every time down the aisle.

After everyone was in and in place, we chose a dramatic entrance for the bride.  Everyone had come in from the side, but we had the bride and her daddy stand on the other side of the barn doors and at her big moment, her cousins opened the huge doors and there they stood.  Everyone tells me there was a huge gasp and people were sooo moved….but I missed it.  I was too caught in the moment.  I also missed big brother start crying.  He’s my sensitive one.    Little sis cried, too.  She didn’t expect it, but when she saw her brother cry, so did she.  The little imp knew he was to stand on his piece of tape and when the ring bearer tried to get him to step off, he looked very firmly at him because he knew his job.  When the ceremony was over, his job was to come to hubby and I and take us out.  People were so impressed with the job he did.

 We had so many comments on how caring the bridal party was towards each other and the fact that the pastor knew the kids well and was able to share some very thoughtful stories about each of them.  He shared that the bride had always known God would bring the right man along and she was willing to wait.  Everyone saw the change in them before they did.  No one was surprised when they realized they were interested in each other.  I think I was the only one who didn’t see it coming…probably because I was the one who most wanted the day to come.  haha

Pictures soon!
