Reader, I married him!
On Sunday afternoon, I married my best friend, kylecassidy, in an intimate Quaker ceremony in our home. I read somewhere that a house where a marriage ceremony is performed becomes a "home." I wouldn't be surprised to learn that other couples had already been married here, because it's always been filled with love and laughter.
I had intended to wear a dress I already owned, but on Wednesday Karen told me she had her grandmother's sister's dress from 1932 and would love for me to wear it. It fit perfectly! And was an absolute dream to wear -- all satin and lace, with a 50 year marriage behind it. I wore my grandmother's wedding slip from 1937 under it and carried her lace handkerchief with the bouquet of roses (that came from Karen's garden.)
Our witnesses reacting to the champagne cork that nearly KILLED me as it came back from its orbit around the earth!
We had the best Ring Bearer and Kitty of Honor I've ever beheld!
It was a beautiful day and a lovely way to solemnize a promise we'd made to each other long ago. Thank you all for the warmth and outpouring of congratulations you've already given us -- I am deeply touched by it. You've all been wonderful.
