A LUCKY RAINY DAY

The Dress

these photos are from Friday, but somehow I didn't have to the time to even get near a computer

Her dress, her sister's dress, and her niece's dress

all hanging in her childhood room.  The decision to dress here at her old house

(now her sister's house and just 3 blocks down) was easy...she has never lived at 822...

but there were plenty of festive events at 822 despite the

heavy construction and mess

she is waiting on her ride to the church

which was a 1980 Mercedes limo driven by her

uncle Jamie and our B.  We had much more fun with this limo

than should have been allowed.  It is rumored of driving some to skinny dip

after the reception dance ended..this was only a rumor

Grace (right) married in a 14" driving snow blizzard

Mattie married in record breaking 105 degree June heat

until

a very strange thunderstorm appeared over head and dropped about an inch of rain

I'm thinking it could have been because the groomsmen were drinking beer

at church

More photos to follow, but the ceremony was the most

simple, sweet and precious thing I have seen in a very long time

The cloudburst passed and the outdoor dinner dance was perfect until the

2nd round of thunderstorms where we all moved inside for a bit

everyone said

"it's good luck if it rains on your wedding day"

and so

what else are we to do 

but dance in the rain?
