Wedding Photo Wednesday

 

I cannot say enough about the joy and beauty of this day. These two young people shared their love with a small amount of family and friends in an intimate, blessed, joyous way. So many commented to me about the literal joy and love they felt witnessing the marriage of Peyton and Christopher. More than one person commented on how much they loved the simplicity of their wedding as opposed to the elaborateness of so many others. Peyton planned her wedding as she always has done all things. In her way. And I could not be happier or more proud! My girl has realized her dream in Christopher. May God bless them with a blessed, joyous life together!

These beautiful images were captured by an amazingly talented and lovely photographer, who also happens to be my niece, Hope. What a joy to have family document such a blessed day! Thank you, Hope Moose Photography!

And thank you, friends, for all the kind words, prayers, and wishes!

Have a cozy Wednesday. 

Peyton and Chris Are Married!

 

Good morning! Yes, Peyton and Christopher are married! Friday was the most beautiful, joyous, blessed day, my friends. The sun shone, and my girl married the man of her dreams, surrounded by a small group of those who love them. Peyton and Chris married in the exact place they met. His parents sang the most beautiful music, two blessed priests officiated the mass, both dear friends of our families, and the bride and groom smiled the entire day. 

Today I am sharing some of our own photos of the day, taken at random moments by family members and us. Wednesday, I will share some preview photos from the photographer, who happens to be my lovely and talented niece. In the meantime, thank you for your prayers and well wishes, my friends. They were felt all day long. Have a lovely, cozy day!

Thanks for visiting!

Thursday Thoughts

 

Thank you for all the thoughts, well wishes, and prayers for Peyton and Christopher! I shared them all with her, and she is so thankful! And happy! Today she is baking cookies for favors and tonight is the rehearsal and dinner. Tomorrow is their special day! I will be back on Monday with some photos. Until then, have a wonderful weekend, and thank you again!

Monday Morning Coffee~Wedding Week Edition!

Yes! These two beautiful souls are getting married on Friday! My Peyton Rose is marrying her person, Christopher. And he is indeed her person. God brought these two together, and we are so thankful! She is beyond happy, and we are all excited to celebrate them on Friday afternoon. And, in true Peyton fashion, she is doing it her way. It is small, simple, faith and family-centered. Perfect for our girl. 

We are also thrilled that the happy couple will be residing in our same town, not all that far away. They purchased a lovely home with a big yard and lots of beautiful space. They both enjoy the outdoors, so it is the perfect spot for them. If you think of it, send up a prayer or thought for this happy young couple Friday afternoon, would you please? I know they would appreciate all the prayers as they begin their life together.

Have a wonderful day, my friends. Thanks for visiting!

Friends

Good friends are the people you want with you on the happiest days of your life. They are the people you want with you on the hardest days and on the most ordinary days too. I am blessed to call some pretty amazing women my friends. I am blessed to have each one of them walking with me as we make our way through this journey called life. Each friendship is unique, beginning right when it was supposed to in the way God planned. One began in college when two young women met and found comfort and strength in each other as they began their lives away from home. One began when a super sweet pharmacist reached out to a wife and mother she knew from years of dispensing sticky pink liquid and tons of advice. Two friendships began in this very place when women separated by miles recognized through their writing how very much alike they were. Texts followed, and eventually, blog friends became real-life friends.

Friday Phone Pictures From The Wedding

One of these days I am going to post things not related to the wedding. Today is not that day. While we wait for the professional photos, I found a few fun pictures on my phone to share.

All ready to head to Pittsburgh and begin the wedding weekend Friday morning!

On Planning A Wedding

Years ago when I was in college, my favorite professor and nun stated that to write well one should write about what one knows. Right now I know about planning a wedding. And I must say, contrary to popular belief, I found it to be fun and undaunting. Here, while they are fresh in my memory, are a few thoughts I have about planning a wedding.

Madison And Nicolas Are Married!

The wedding day was perfect! My Madison was the most beautiful bride. And her Nicolas was the happiest groom. The day was sunny, the mass was beautiful, the reception was fun, the food was delicious, and the venue was amazing. Most importantly, Madison and Nicolas were surrounded by their closest family and friends, and so much love you could feel it.

The Wedding Day is Almost Here!

Almost four years ago, a young man from Denmark flew across the ocean to meet a young girl from Pennsylvania. The ocean separated them, yet God used the Internet to bring them together.

Their story began the day they first met,

 A new chapter began the day they became engaged and yet another will begin
Saturday, as they celebrate the sacrament of marriage with the family and friends that love them so. Thank you for your kind words of love for these two amazing young people, and please send a prayer for them as they begin their life together.

I will be absent here for the next week, as we prepare for and celebrate the wedding of our firstborn child Madison Marie to her wonderful husband to be, Nicolas.  Have a blessed and cozy week, my friends!
