Sarah's wedding was absolutely beautiful. It was relaxing, laughter-filled, and Christ-centered.....and yes, emotional :).
Here's the highlights:
- The wedding was a three day party. The Bokma family came to live with us since Wednesday. We've had so many good memories with them (volleyball, euchre, home videos, chats & laughing). I feel like I've been blessed with three more younger sisters. I'm going to miss them when they leave this morning.
- getting ready in the morning with all the girls. We had lots of time and just sat around chatting and relaxing
- ceremony was beautiful
- we walked in too quickly but that was o.k. with me
-we did a family prayer
-Ben and I had two false starts to go sign the wedding bans (where I gave Sarah some comic relief by accidentally trying to write with the pen upside down...the stupid thing looks the same from both ends and I was confused for a good couple of seconds)
-the pastor annoucing them as Sarah Slotegraaf and Sarah Bokma (apparently my sister is the dominate person in the relationship)
- getting to see my family especially those from far away that I do not often see. Although it was tough to see the family that is struggling with their health
- reception went smooth. My cousin suggested drinking a glass of wine before my speech so I took her up on it and it went a lot better than I had anticipated
- The speeches were really touching. The love and support in the room was really intense. It was a beautiful wedding because there was not a single soul who had a doubt.
- Dance party was awesome. There was a live band and a dancing crowd. My closest-dancer father came out for the first time ever and I got to teach my little brother how to slowdance.
Although I'm exhausted, it is a peaceful exhaustion.
