Saturday I heard wedding bells! Ben, my (step)son(which by the way I dislike saying STEP, it sounds like something from a not so happy fairy tale, and often carries with it the inference that he is "less than" my other kids. Which he's not. And so I cringe when I say it. However, I say it out of respect for his mom, cause he has a really great one!) got married to a beautiful and amazing young woman - Stephanie! The weekend was full of fun, laughter, and yes a few tears (Mark! Oh, and maybe me a little ;-) )
Friday night was the rehearsal, followed by the rehearsal dinner at Ben's mom and (step) dad's house (I bet he doesn't like the STEP part either!). We met and mingled with Steph's family, greeted Ben's family on his mom's side and had a good time.
Saturday, Katie and I headed off to the country club and helped hang a few decorations, got ready together and otherwise prepped for the big event. Mark and the boys joined us there. The wedding was spectacular, in a lovely outdoor setting, the bride and groom joyful and everything was perfect! (Except when they forgot to exchange rings, but even that was cute!)
The reception that followed was lovely, we ate, we mingled, we got our goofy pictures taken in a cool photo booth, we danced and partied....
The evening ended with goodbye's to Ben and Steph. Then Mark and I took our oldest two out to a late dinner at the same Mexican restaurant we ate at 17 1/2 years ago after we had gone to the temple together the week before we got married. Life really does come full circle!
Here is the address for samples of their pictures!
