Of Curls, Weddings, and Beginnings

Our niece was married last Friday.
Nearly 21 years ago, she was our flower girl.
Emma was given the privilege
of doing the same for her.

Full circle.
A tradition.

Emma read while I curled her hair.
It took over an hour!
The style had to hold for more than five hours ~
the photos were being taken prior to the ceremony.

Emma was sent off with instructions
not to move her head!
Poor thing. :)

The ceremony was beautiful.
The bride was lovely.
(I haven't had permission to
post photos yet, so I will leave you
to your imagination).

The vows and rings were exchanged.
The documents were signed.
The kiss was given and received. :)

The unity candle was lit.

The couple were introduced as Mr. and Mrs.
And there was joy all around!
As it should be.

Austin and Fraser had the honour of
playing the background music at the reception
as guests found their seats.

Calvin was our photographer.
We forgot to get a family picture.
I am so sad.
But, as I told Emma prior to the big day ~
"It's not all about us!"

And it really isn't.

The bride and groom were sent off in style
under a tunnel of love.
We were so happy to have been able to witness
the beginning of their lives together
as husband and wife.

It's such a joy to witness two young people who
love the LORD as they are united in marriage.
May the LORD be glorified in and through them ~
And may HE bless them abundantly
in the years to come.

Blessings to each of you as well!
With Love,
Camille
