forever.

Posted on June 13, 2021 by beth

how beautiful to see

my nephew

looking happy and hopeful

with his lovely bride

joining two families together

seeing my sister in him

wishing she were here

to see her son so full of love.

I like the outdoors for a wedding. Why they chose it I don’t know. But the place of marriage should be the choice of the couple.
I was married in my childhood home. 🙂 No aisle to walk down. 🙂

Happy Time!

  as you said, it’s a very personal choice and i think people choose a location for a variety of reasons.

Both of my children were married in the back yard of my second husbands home. Their father was already gone too. It was bitter sweet as well. Glad you were there to witness it for her. Just beautiful.
