silent sunday: a summer wedding

When I was eight years old, a new little girl joined my third grade class. Carrie was from Ohio and had three sisters. Carrie and I became fast friends, and to this day, her family feels like my family.  Yesterday, one of Carrie’s sisters, Mystry, was married at her family’s home. The day was hot and humid, but occasional breezes swirled the aromas of barbecue, flowers, and occasional puffs of bug spray through the air. After the ceremony, children swam in the pool and slid through the slip-n-slide, and some of the guests started a game of volleyball in the back field. There was food and drink aplenty, and the evening was capped off with a fireworks display over the pool. It was pretty perfect.

    I’m not big on weddings and my wife and I eloped three months before ours just because we weren’t in to all of the “hoopla” that goes with weddings. This wedding seems perfect – family, friends, and food – hold the hoopla. Love it.
