This has been another beautiful day here in the country. The sun was warm, breezes soft, birds singing and mimosas in bloom - who could have asked for a more lovely day?
You see, there is a Mennonite family that has had the tradition of having there wedding photos taken here at my folks place. I do believe that the first couple that had their pictures taken here was in 1998, that couple now has 6 kids. Other brothers & sisters of both bride & groom have come here the day before their weddings. They have all seemed so young.
Did we look that young when we got married?
Were we so starry eyed?
So anxious??? :o}
It has been such a blessing to see these families grow. The young lady getting married tomorrow first came here to pick strawberries as a toddler. I even think that this family was here the day the farm house caught on fire (the first time). What a blessing they were, praying for the fire fighters and us. Now, she is all grown up and starting a life with her very soon to be husband. How excited they must be.
The bridesmaids dresses were all in the same blue hue as the type of this post. Each dress a different print, yet they all coordinated beautifully. The groom and groomsmen wore black suits and crisp white shirts. The candid shots of the guys are always the most fun. There is a sense of elegance with the candid shots of the young ladies. I do believe that my DD snagged a few ideas for when she will plan her own special day -- many, many years from now!!!
Frequently, I will give either a kitchen item or Christmas items as a gift, ie: cast iron frying pan and have it seasoned already and include recipes that can be made in the pan or some homemade ornaments for their first Christmas tree or Christmas cookie cutters.
What do you gift to happy couples just starting out?
