fluffy.
| beautiful, fluffy girls. |
we spent the long weekend in iowa for matt's cousin's wedding. it was a wonderful time with family
and celebrating love. the 3 oldest girls were in charge of the petals and enjoyed their time so much.
we visited lots, swam more, ate for hours, used glass dishes, slept late, had hotel
pillow fights, rode the glass elevators numerous times [jumping at the top] & danced the night away.
i love how good the bride & groom are to each other and to their friends and families. they cried as they thanked those that have come along beside them in life...so appreciative of those they do life with.
THIS is what it's about. a wedding is one day, but a marriage requires so much support, love & grace.
of course from God. sure from your spouse, but also from your loved ones.
we aren't meant to do life alone and i love when bride & grooms get that from the beginning.
we had so much fun as a family. i love them so much & wouldn't have rather been anywhere else.

ReplyDeleteMy BFF just got married in August and I feel exactly the same way about how much support it takes from loved ones. In fact, at our wedding (back in 2000) we had that as part of our vows... the people at our wedding took a vow to support us and our marriage, and they all said "I do." It was so cool!
ReplyDeleteYour family looks beautiful! :)
Your family is beeee-u-tee-full! And you're so right. Support from friends and loved ones really helps a marriage to be successful.
