Wedding weekend

Somehow David grew up overnight.. and now he's married. He's been Christophers best friend for as long as I can remember. They went to kindergarten together, They played sports together, they went to cub scouts together, they vacationed with each other year after year... We adopted David as our "other son" years ago, and I know his Mom set an extra place at the table too many times to remember... Christopher even introducted David to his new wife... and I think everyone would agree that she fits just perfectly into their lives...

This weekend we were blessed to attend David and Natalies wedding. The weather was as close to perfect as you can get for a fall wedding. During the ceremony a rainbow even graced the sky.. blue birds were playing in the trees and it was warm enough to sit outside all night.

The ceremony was just what I would have expected from David-- afterall his groomsmen were all his buddies from HighSchool... they were all dressed up but underneath they were the same silly little boys -- each one charming but as a group they couldn't help but revert to class clowns. They are a good bunch-- full of themselves, full of happiness...

Luckily Natalie is a good sport because there was nothing solomn about the days events.. the boys giggled at every turn and kept us all wondering would happen next.

Speaking of Natalie-- she was beautiful (as always) --her dress suited her personality-- She glowed all night. She did a remarkable job of planning her wedding to suit her and Davids personalities. And I know everyone had a wonderful time.

And once all the prerequisite wedding "stuff" was done-- It didn't take long for the dance floor to fill and we all danced the night away-- She picked a great DJ who had no problem mixing the popular dance music in with some country classics set to a dance beat.. I'm not sure everyone understood it but the kids loved it and didn't sit down all night. I can't help but laugh as for years I listened to country music and the kids quickly turned the station on me.. its funny to hear them singing right along with it now...
