Blessings Friday

Fiona at Dragonfly Crafts is having a Blogging Sleepover Party tomorrow night. She’s in Australia, here’s a link to a World Time Zone map and zonal subsets.



The fabulous Miss Saucy hosted a Virtual Wedding
Party at Bloggedy Blog Blog while I was on vacation, so I’m joining in a bit late.

Our tenth wedding anniversary was July 4. We chose this date to get married so we’d always have the day off from work. Plus, there are always fireworks—thank you, America!



We had the most fabulous but goofy wedding on the planet—exactly what we wanted. There are many details about our wedding that are wonderful and extremely wacky but too much to share today.




Part 1




Part 2



Part 3

One of the favors we gave out at our reception was a poem I wrote a few years before our wedding. It’s a type of sonnet and somewhat long, so I’ve photographed it in three sections. Just click on each picture to enlarge and read if you so desire.



One of my friends from grad school, Ginny, converted my poem to music and sang it during our wedding—another blessing to cherish.

At the bottom of our wedding invitation, we wrote “Much Merriment to Follow” and meant it—not just for our wedding day but the future as well. This picture shows some of our family members who joined us on vacation to celebrate this milestone in our life. The merriment indeed continues.

I'm sure it was a wonderful celebration! I love "Much Merriment to Follow" sounds just like you!
AND you're a poet!!! I am not surprised. Also looking forward to seeing your shawl, I know it's a beauty!!! Louet was a perfect choice, one of my favorite yarns.
