Ann's and David's Wedding

So...what are my thoughts?

Ann and David were calm and confident on the day of the wedding. I felt the warmth of the Holy Spirit in the Temple. I helped Ann get ready and that was very sweet. She looked radiant as she and David made their wedding vows. Lauren Ann appeared to be glowing. I've never seen her more beautiful. I felt enveloped in warmth and comfort during the ceremony. This marriage was definitely a spiritual experience for me. I felt that I had come full circle as I watched my daughter marry in the same temple that I was married. I experienced a remarkable fullness of joy.

Speaking of warmth...it was extremely hot outside while photos were taken, but everyone took it in stride.

By the time we got back to Buena Vista for the reception things had cooled off a little. The reception was great fun. I enjoyed meeting Ann's and David's friends and professors. They had so many glowing comments about the both of them. I feel fortunate indeed. Ann's friends really came through on the decorations. The tables were lovely. Ann's plans & Maria Connor's & my efforts at yard sale buys paid off. Lights were strung from the rafters above and candles and flowers were at every table. It was pure enchantment. Ann's friends were given and budget & a shopping list for food. They pulled it all together magnificently. The food, cake and table arrangements were lovely.

Dancing continued until dark. The feast and decorations were dismantled and returned to Buford. That was an amazing feat made possible by many helping hands.

The celebration continued the following weekend in Buford during the Open House. Friends and family came by in a tremendous show of support for the new couple. Ardythe Harlow sang "Til There Was You" for the new couple... more enchanment!

This was yet another string of Perfect days. I am confident that God will watch over and bless this new couple.
