It came off without a hitch (other than a cloudy, blustery day), and the reception was wonderful.  Despite the fact that there were a LOT of factions from three separate families in attendance, there were no fights or hard words.  Everyone was on their best behavior, and a good time was had by most.<br \/>\nThe bride was breathtakingly lovely.  Everyone was emotional, and in the midst of the pastor&#8217;s comments she reached up and brushed a tear off her husband-to-be&#8217;s face.  It was a charming moment.  Mike is a typical guy who doesn&#8217;t go around with his emotions on his sleeve, so it was reassuring to see the emotion well up in him as Laura and DH started down the aisle.<br \/>\nI lost it as DH gave his daughter away, but I managed to keep it down to a few joyous tears and no snuffling! lol  The night before  I had been given an embroidered handkerchief as a gift, and I put it to good use.<br \/>\nThe reception was lots of fun.  We mingled and chatted with family members and new friends and the wedding party.  The DJ played a great variety of music, and I discovered that my son-in-law&#8217;s mother has similar taste in music to me.  She likes jazz and old rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll.  Her husband is a charming man.  I hope we get to see the two of them again.<br \/>\nSoooo&#8230;..it was worth all the work, so that I could enjoy myself.  I went, with the intention of enjoying myself, and encouraged everyone else to do the same.<br \/>\nI had been following <a href=\"http:\/\/drowningfish.blogspot.com\/\">Drowning Fish&#8217;s <\/a>saga of the wedding she was attending, and worried that we might have the same experience&#8230;..but we lucked out.  So, we will be the exception that makes the rule.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m certainly not as eloquent as <a href=\"http:\/\/texastbone.blogspot.com\/\">Texas T-bone on the subject of weddings<\/a>. You have to go visit and read what he has to say about them.<br \/>\nI hope that any of you who have weddings to attend have as good a time as we did!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m delighted to tell you that the wedding was LOVELY!
