Wow, it's been awhile since I've checked in and updated the blog. It just seems that I've been really busy lately, but I think things have calmed down now since all of the wedding festivities are over.
I had the wonderful opportunity to be a bridesmaid in one of my dearest friend's weddings this weekend. Rachel and I have been friends for around 13 years, and she had a beautiful, grand ceremony and reception yesterday. Although she and San have been married a few months already, they decided to throw a fancy wedding for family and friends to attend. It was fun to dress up and attend such a beautiful event, but it was also a special thing to watch San and Rachel commit themselves to eachother before God, and family and friends.
The wedding was at Mayflower Congregational in East Grand Rapids. It is one of the most gorgeous churches I've ever seen. It was the perfect fit for an elegant bride and groom. We rode a trolley from the church to the Amway Grand Hotel, where a jazz band played music, we dined in the Patlind ballroom, and danced the night away. I got the chance to catch up with some old high school friends, and enjoy lots of great conversation. Everyone's lives have taken such different directions, but it seemed simple to catch up on where were are. I don't think Jeff and I have ever been to such an elegant, beautiful event!
I wish Rachel and her new husband all the love, friendship, and hope that they deserve. I took my camera and snapped photos of the girls getting ready, and Rachel in her all her bridal splendor. The years really do fly past, and it's these big life moments that seem to go the fastest.
"A happy marriage is a new beginning of life, a starting point for happiness and usefulness."
