Heather and Evan were married today. It was a wonderful wedding! We had worked so hard all summer to get the house and the yard ready for the wedding. John build a great mailbox for me because mine was falling apart and held together with duct tape. We got gravel put in the front strip in front of the house and the flower beds weeded and flowers planted. It was such a long, cold spring that the flowers were not as big as I had expected them to get, but they still looked nice. Heather looked beautiful! She and Evan had decided to have a small, simi-formal wedding in our backyard. Her colors were plum and sage. They look so good together. Carolyn was going to make her dress but then Aunt Martha heard about the wedding and she told the girls. Ashley had been engaged before she met the man she married and she had bought a wedding dress that she still had. When she got married she got a new wedding dress so she offered her first wedding dress to Heather. If fit beautifully. Heather and the twins are build just alike. Carolyn added cup sleeves and a higher neck and it was beautiful.
The guys had been joking that it would probably rain on the wedding, but the weather has been hot, hot, and hotter. I watched the news the night before, just to make sure and it was still hot! The morning of the wedding, I went outside to finish some last touches and saw huge dark clouds in the sky. Wouldn't you know it, rain on our wedding. We went ahead anyway. We had to wipe down the chairs before everyone came. The weather was on and off. As everyone got seated and we were about to begin, it began raining again. It stopped during the ceremony and started again after while we were having a small reception on the deck. As people were leaving, the weather cleared up and the afternoon was back to hot again. Everything else went great. We sent Heather and Evan on a Honeymoon in town by giving them dinner at Maddox, tickets to the movie theater and a night at the Howard Johnson Hotel. We kept Jordan with us and watched him for the night. We took him to church with us the next day. He was so cute.
