wedding

I'm not sure how you write a blog post on your daughter's wedding.  Especially when it was only 4 days ago and you are still processing!
So for now, I will say this....
beautiful girl, beautiful wedding.

  • Thursday Holly flew into Boston, groom's parents into Hartford, bridesmaids and groomsmen trickled in by car and plane.
  • Thursday we had snow- it was beautiful!  We had a very nice time getting to know Erik's parents at the house and felt very relaxed!
  • Friday we girls got our nails done.  So much fun!  
  • Friday night was the rehearsal.  Mrs. Greene and I cried.
  • The rehearsal dinner was very calm and cozy- a great meal and nice atmosphere!
  • Mom and Dad and the Chases arrived Friday
  • Saturday morning Erik's mom, Melanie, Maelyn, Ashley, Rachelle, Mom, Megan, and the bridesmaids were here for a brunch and to get ready.
  • There was a lot of hairspray, makeup, curling irons, and other beautifying products around!
  • Brianna invited Matt to see her for the first time in her dress.
  • Girls left for church.
  • We all eventually arrived at the church, we had a wedding, I only needed one tissue during the ceremony (after was a different story!).
  • There were 3 dances- Erik and Brianna, Erik and his mom, then Matt with his daughters.  Cinderella (Steven Curtis Chapman) played and it began with Leah for the first verse, Alissa for the second, and when "She came home today with a ring on her hand" it was Bri and her daddy.  I'm not sure there was a dry eye in the place!  (Rumor has it even the groomsmen were teary!)
  • Rachelle was the photographer and even though I've only seen a few photos I know for sure they are the best!  







I am so proud of Brianna and the woman she has become and I am thrilled to have a new son-in-law!

So I've been doing a lot of thinking.  And resting.  And praying.  And reflecting. I can't believe I am a grandmother- with two mo...
