A moment of enchantment....

I must share about my daughter's wedding....Last Saturday a modest group of friends and family gathered together to step back in time to the more tender moments in a Celtic/Medieval setting to witness the joining of two very special people. The bridesmaids wore cranberry satin dresses and each carried a single calla lily and the groomsmen donned brown tunics, black pants and knee high suede boots. The best man and groom had green tunics with fur skins draped across their shoulders. The bride entered on her father's arm. Her off white dress shimmering in the sunlight. Her beaming face covered with her veil held in place by a hand-braided band with a triquetra centered on her forehead. Her bouquet was deep red roses and Calla lilies. The wedding party gathered by the lake in the triangle three trees made with white netting and cranberry ribbon draped from tree to tree. Rose petals were scattered on the ground and babies breath kissed the base of each tree. Sweetly and gently and very sincerely the bride and groom exchanged their own vows pledging lives more than just love to each other. The spectators felt they were whisked back in time to that romantic period like King Arthur and his beloved Guinevere---the very setting the bride & groom hoped to create. God bless all the people that helped to create the enchanted wedding!
