The long anticipated wedding is over and no I do not have pictures because my silly camera is giving up the ghost. Pictures are very necessary and wonderful but they could not capture the small moments that were only noticed if you were looking the right way at the right moment.
The little nieces and nephews were of course without question the cutest members of the wedding party. Several times before the wedding they hurried away from their gleeful play frightened they were missing the wedding. They were reassured to see the bride still waiting and of course the little children were smart enough to know the wedding would not start without the bride.
There is photographic proof of the bridesmaids and bride clasping hands moments before the wedding in prayer together. You cannot hear the bride praying personally for each of her bridesmaids or you cannot feel the hands held tight in nervousness.
Pictures we are grateful are not scratch and sniff for if they were they might smell of salty potato chips and turkey sandwiches hastily eaten between photo shoots.
Speaking of food there was the bossy little sister who attempted to stuff some food down the groom's throat because of his lack of breakfast. Of course though little sisters are never listened too. I'm not sure who would even try to make them listen. Ahem.
It is rumored that because girls bathroom was overflowing with girls doing hair and make up the men's bathroom was made use of. I'm afraid I'm not denying anything. I will say the female members of the wedding party and bride were a bit late getting ready, but well if you hurry a girl getting ready nobody is going to be happy...
We have yet to know if all 34 members of our family managed to hold their eyes open during the group photo. However the photographer did manage to capture forever the faces of two screaming nieces.
Did pictures capture the tears that slipped out of the bridesmaids' eyes at the sight of the radiant bride? It is rumored the groom himself had tear filled eyes as he saw his bride approaching.
The wedding was beautiful, the music was beautiful, the bride was beautiful, the groom was well... not beautiful, but very handsome.
There is one picture I have in my possession. The picture you see is tradition, my brother's and I have taken to posing very seriously for the camera whenever together. However in this picture the groom could not manage a frown and I of course was just trying to look sweet and innocent.
