Wedding Day
I stopped by the church yesterday afternoon to say hello to the mother of the bride, Rhonda. I don’t know her daughter, but Rhonda was a dear friend when we were teenagers. Awww… the memories are good! I can’t believe I had not seen her in over 20 years. I didn’t stick around long, they were really busy, and I didn’t want to be in the way.
The church was decorated so beautifully. It wasn’t completely decorated when I stopped in, but what was decorated at that time was really pretty. There was a little bit of chaos, what is a wedding without some chaos? it reminded me of the hours before Andrea’s rehearsal dinner. Oh wow, I was feeling frazzled that night.
So today was the big day. I picked my aunt up at 9:00 this morning. The guys were hard at work, roofing her house. We picked up my mom, then hit the road. It took about an hour to get to the wedding down south. It was at the Victorian Gardens Bed and Breakfast. It was so pretty and romantic. The reception area was like a big garden party. Erielle was radient. She was so happy she was glowing. We had a great time, the DJ had a real sense of humor! Good food, good company… and a little romance. It all makes for a beautiful day! Oh, and the rain! It managed to stay perfectly comfortable and dry until just before we left.
The drive home was another story. We were in stopped traffic on 167…. then we crawled our way from 212th st up to Renton. 405 wasn’t much better. It took us over 2 1/2 hours to get home! Ya gotta love Seattle traffic.
As I was driving into town, Kevin was leaving the wedding here at the church. Perfect timing, I’d say.
Oh, I’m telling ya, these weddings brought back happy memories of Andrea’s wedding. Here are some photos I took of Andrea’s wedding. I don’t have any of the real wedding photos online… Rama was the photographer and her photos are gorgeous.
