Somebody's Getting Married!

The next morning we arrived at the orchard where the wedding would be taking place. 

Since Emma had fallen asleep on the way over, Grace and I headed in to the bed and breakfast where Hannah and her bridesmaids were getting ready while Em finished her nap.  The adorable headband that Grace is wearing was given to the girls by Hannah at the rehersal dinner.  Isn't it darling?

The faces on the girls are priceless! 

Chocolate, vanilla or maple?!  How to choose...

Despite driving rain, raging winds and temps in the 40s it was a magnificent wedding!  The love this young couple has for each other is totally palpable and it helped to warm all of our cold, wet selves!  We had a truly magnificent time! It was an honor to get to fill such an important role for Hannah and Brad, and one that I will treasure forever!  Best wishes as you begin this next chapter in your lives, my friends!  We are with you every step of the way!





Busy Bees

We arrived in gorgeous Vermont Friday late afteroon.

And, of course, I had to wonder why it is we don't live here.  Seriously, could it be any more beautiful?

After catching up with Brad, Hannah and Hannah's sister Sara (who we had not seen since our wedding day nine years ago) we got busy decorating the tables for the wedding the next day.



The girls did a great job helping set the tables.  They both loved placing the honey bears at each persons spot. 

Dave poslished our unity candle holder which had not seen the light of day in nine years.  We were so excited that Hannah and Brad wanted to use it in their ceremony. After he was done polishing it, he got to work making the beeswax candles fit in the taper candle holders.

  And even as sister moon rose in the sky the hive was still a buzz with excitement! Everything was set and ready for the next day.  The day that we had all been looking forward to for all these months was finally upon us!
