Well folks, the big day arrived. After a lot of planning on the part of this beautiful young lady, her big day came with lots of friends and family, folks from as far away as England, but everyone so happy to see Matthew and Becky tie the knot. I was especially touched that my dear friends from Beaverdam made the trip to share this experience with me. The Rev. Bob Maphis, a long time friend and dear minister, came to Georgia to marry Becky and Matthew. He added a special touch to the service incorporating pieces of information he had gathered from the bride and groom. The music----oh the music, my daughter-in-law, Marie, sang "I will be here" and I don't think there was a dry eye in the church. What a voice and what beautiful and touching words. The reception was a wonderful party and we had a little breakfast get together before everyone got on the road. I wish all of you could have been there but I know you were there in spirit
It was a beautiful wedding, and I am so happy for Matt and Becky.
ReplyDeleteI am also happy for you and Ron having waited all of these years for "the big trip" out West. I will definitely be following along with you.
