The New Mr. & Mrs. Wilson

Congrats, Kyle & Marita!
It is such a privilege to witness the marriage ceremony of two of God's covenant people - reminding us of the ultimate, marriage ceremony to come. The wedding ceremony and following reception were beautiful! A wonderful opportunity to see "old" friends and make new ones.
And Kyle and Marita's reception was uniquely their own. Complete with flying rubber frogs...
And a light saber battle!
As the DJ played an appropriate Star Wars theme, Kyle, Marita, the wedding party, and friends "fought" each other. :O)
Epic, yes?
I LOVE Marita's pose in this last one.
Thanks again, Sam, for sharing your photos!

Delays

I don't normally post this type of thing... but this one was too funny.
Hi everyone! Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I haven't posted at all this week. It is my intention to update regularly for the next few days, but if those "unforeseen circumstances" act up again... You understand. At least, I hope you do. :O)

The Assembly Ball: Part 2

The guests have arrived; we given out dance cards. What next?
"Gentlemen, get a partner!" Generally, we start with some opening remarks, however at the Assembly Ball, we began with the Grand March.
Hannah and Andrew
And we were already having fun!
Daddy
With the Grand March finished, Daddy read a portion of Philippians 2 and reminded us of proper etiquette and decorum of an Old South Ball.
Listening with appropriate attention, we heard of practicing godly love towards one another - showing Christ to one another.
Young Widow
When a girl is not asked to dance, the next best option is taking pictures! And I also LOVE watching my Daddy dance. :O)
Young Widow:  Right-hand star
And watching other daddies dance with their daughters.

Between dances, while we move into formation, our happy, posed pictures were taken...
Adrea and Mr. Welsh
Remember me saying I adore seeing father/daughter couples? See above. :)

Kristi and Andrew
The Lancer's Quadrille is composed of three sets and danced in a square formation.
Mr. & Mrs. Lay
It's also fun to see married couples on the floor.
Maddie and Daniel
Just when you thought everyone was prim and cheerful... (like Maddie and Daniel)
Me and Evan
Evan and I throw a monkey wrench into the mix. :P
Lancer's Quadrille
"The salute." Sheer awesomeness.
Lancer's Quadrille cont.
I found the above step tricky, but it was entertaining!
After all that dancing, you need a drink. I know I did.

Stay tuned...
