Weddings!

It is that time of the year! Over the weekend we went to a beautiful wedding uniting two wonderful people. Most weddings are about the same in my eyes with the exceptions of the wacky, unusual or the mistakes! What fun! The unusual: Her church is tiny..make that really tiny. So when they need to have an event that is larger they use the chapel in the huge cemetary down the road! What a great idea! I was thinking of how nice it was for that building to have a happy occaision for once! Also, the bride is chinese-american and the groom is italian-american, so much was said about the meeting of two cultures. The bride wore a beautiful white gown for the wedding and a traditional red chinese dress to the recption. LOVELY! And in the toasts the sister of the bride expressed how pleased she was to have the groom as her new sister! Of course the marriage is so much more important than the wedding but, they are off to a wonderful start.
This coming weekend is my cousin's engagement party. They are having a very long engagement (wedding is Sept 07) so we need to start the celebration now. Irish meets Armenian. Should be fun!

Is a year really that long of an engagement? It takes that long to plan a wedding these days - everything is booked! -Bethany

They got engaged over the winter so guess its 1.5 years or so. I suppose you are right. It feels long to me, they've been together forever.
