The Wedding

My friend, Rachel, got married to her high school sweetheart, Mike, today. The ceremony was really nice (nice and short! Ha!)

Here's a picture of Jack as we were leaving the house this afternoon. He was SO PROUD to be wearing his new tie! He has been talking about it and asking when he would be able to wear it ever since we picked it out and bought it!

And here's a picture of Jack with the bride. He stayed in the church nursery with the other kids during the ceremony so the first time he saw Rachel was at the reception. He took one look at her and said, "Mommy! Rachel turned into a princess! How'd she do that!?" That is FOR SURE going to turn up on a scrapbook page!

Phew! I must admit, I'm a little bit relieved that the wedding is over. I was the soloist and spent a lot of hours practicing this week! I didn't want to let Rachel down! But everything went very smoothly. Well, there was one little glitch. My dad played the piano for me and while Rachel and Mike were saying their vows (right before I was to sing one of my songs), my dad whispers over the piano to me that he can't find his music. **PANIC** Then I hear a bunch of shuffling and he smiles and whispers that he found it. So, yeah, I just had a TINY heart attack! But thankfully it all worked out.

Now I am on my way out of this dress and ESPECIALLY these shoes! And heading to bed. Goodnight!
