Hey! Anybody remember when I sat on that bench and crocheted the towels for the wedding couple? Well, I finished them and Richard and I attended the wedding this past weekend in the North Georgia mountains and it was beautiful!
We stayed in Hiawassee and Richard took a photo of the view from our room...
Heavenly!
Our son, Christopher was in the wedding as one of the groomsmen and he and his girlfriend looked fantastic all dressed up.
I wish I could show you photos of the wedding couple and all the pretty bridesmaids! The wedding was beside a beautiful mountain stream and it was all so lovely and green. The colors that were chosen for the bridesmaids and groomsmen were really perfect for an outdoor wedding. I wish I could show you the bridesmaids dresses. If I tell you that they looked like Grecian goddesses, does that give you an idea of the simple elegance of their gowns?
There are so many things that I want to say about this past weekend, we were very busy and we did a lot!
One quick thing, the music that the couple chose for the...what do you call it, the song that is played after the wedding ceremony is over and everyone is leaving? The song that they chose was from the movie, "UP"...it is called "Married Life". A nice touch, I think.
(I love the clip I found for you here, it is on a classical guitar. Hope you like it too.)
Oh! And as the couple exchanged wedding rings, my eye was caught by the clouds quickly moving across the sky. To my amazement, two of the clouds formed into a cross. (The couple are very strong in their Christian faith and this was remarked upon by the Pastor who performed the ceremony.)
I raised my camera to take a photo but I was unable to get the shot of the cloud. Now, would you have mentioned this to anyone since you had no proof of it? I wondered if I should...but I did anyway, I told the Groom's Mom and Dad, and I was able to tell the Groom also. It was such an amazing thing... I have looked at clouds for years and years and never have seen that certain shape, not ever.
Would you have kept it to yourself? Just wondering...
Remember I prayed for the couple at the Monastery as I finished up the kitchen towels for them, so for me, it was as if God was showing me that he had heard my prayers for this young couple. God bless them!
Congratulations to the newlyweds, and what a lovely thing to see in the sky as they exchanged vows!
ReplyDeleteI think the word you want is "postlude". :)
Ah yes, "postlude", thank you...had it not been so late when typed this last night, I would have looked it up. Welcome to my tired, worn out world!
DeleteSounds like a wonderful wedding, and in such beautiful surroundings!
ReplyDeleteChristopher and his girlfriend look fabulous. They wouldn't look out of place at a Hollywood party - only that they'd be more beautiful than most of the other guests, since there is nothing artificial about them.
Don't they make a very handsome couple? Your powers of observation are spot on , as usual! Don't you love her dress? It was the same color of the grapes that were on the table and you know I to make her pose with the purple grapes! :-)
DeleteSounds to me like that wedding was blessed for sure. What a beautiful place. I love seeing the mountains. Nice picture of your son and girlfriend too! Glad you had such a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a gorgeous place. I will tell you more about it in another post!
DeleteI would definitely have told them about the Cross Clouds! What a blessing bestowed on them on their wedding day. Too bad you couldn't get a picture. I do hope you have a couple of wedding photos that you will share at some point.
ReplyDeleteYour son and his girlfriend are a really cute couple. xo Diana
At first, I was disappointed because I missed the shot of the cross in the cloud, but then, I thought ...oh well, if God showed me this cloud, maybe I am not meant to have a photo of it, just tell people about it. God knows I can talk! :-)
DeleteAnd C. and his girlfriend make a very striking couple, I think so anyway! xx
Congrats to the happy couple!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debra!
DeleteYes, blessings all around. Too bad you did not take photos of the clouds and wedding.
ReplyDeleteI took photos at the wedding but since I don't have permission from all involved, I can't have their photos here. I will have more about this weekend on another post.
DeleteKay, great photos. I wish the new couple a great life. There's been lots of talk of anniversaries and married in post today. Blessings to all, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeletep.s think your cute boy will marry soon? :):)
Blessing to al! I agree!
DeleteWill our cute boy marry soon? Time will tell! :-)
It sounds like a lovely wedding. I wish a long and happy marriage to the newlyweds.
ReplyDeleteIt was very pretty. Perhaps the newlyweds will read this post and see your well wishes! Thank you.
DeleteBest wishes to them, and i believe you that you did see the image in the clouds.
ReplyDeleteYou know I am all about non fiction, I am really not a very fanciful kind of person. The image was so perfectly clear, it brought tears to my eyes. Maybe that was why it was hard to get a shot of it with my camera.
DeleteYou can tell where my priorities lie. I was thinking nice wedding but my main thought was Gee, wish there was more North Georgia mountain photos. They look impressive :o)
ReplyDeleteI will have more photos on another post. The Rockies out west are higher but the Great Smoky Mountains are much older!
DeleteWeddings?
ReplyDeleteYou've seen one you've seen them all......
Oh, I bet you would have cried at the beauty of it all, the pretty girls, the handsome young men, the babbling brook and green meadow, the background of the mountains and the white clouds ...lovely!
DeleteTell more about the pretty girls....forget the rest...
DeleteMen, how predictable!
DeleteIt sounds like you had a lovely weekend and that you really enjoyed the wedding, Kay.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a religious person, but I would've told everyone and sundry - even on Sunday - about the cloud formation. :)
You do make me chuckle! Everyone and sundry, even on Sunday!
DeleteIt was such a pretty spot for a wedding and I did enjoy it!
Yes, I would have told about the cloud formation if there was a good time. Otherwise, nice to have seen it yourself and certainlt ut was a good sign. Your son and girlfriend are a Lovely young couple.
ReplyDeleteI wondered if I should have just kept it to myself, but I thought it was too...special is not the right word for it, it was like a gift and I wanted to share it.
DeleteThey are just as handsome on the inside as well!
What a lovely choice of music! Christopher and his girlfriend really make a beautiful couple.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kay! I thought the music was a nice touch too. Apparently, there is a special memory for the couple about the movie, "Up".
