The wedding took place at a historic antebellum mansion in Dallas
with a string quartet
and lovely flowers with greenery from the yard of her parent's home
her sisters stood with her
their vows were written by each of them
but the most amazing thing came by way of something unexpected
~the toast of the best man~
*my sister told me that Adam was very regimented and he had a to-do list that was very specific
We are supposed to eat the gourmet cupcakes at 8:05 PM. And he means 8:05.
The best man said this at 9:15
I have known Adam for over 10 years and now Mary almost that long.
Adam is a man of habit.
He is a man of good habits. He does good things and he does things right.
And then I met Mary, and she fit in so well with him because she is also a person of good habits.
But this couple is special, because together, they have created a life in which they will do good things and do good things together.
Their habits have made a lasting impression on me.
Their marriage will be one that is an example to all of us sitting here right now...
they have made a habit of kindness for each other
They have made it a habit
to love
when I told my sister in law the toast her response was this
It's just not that hard
I think this new generation is going to change the course of marriage in our country
I happen to agree

Gina,
Pretty pictures and a meaningful message. I too think the youth will change marriage as we know it and good habits are excellent to uphold and respect ... But I feel it also necessary to share the same moral values. Blessings and congratulations to the Bride and Groom.

I love this post, Gina...and your SIL is right! It's not hard to be a person of good habits. I love that phrase...it needs to be on a pillow!

Beautiful couple and beautiful sentiment. I agree the new generations are our hope for the future. I wish the "older" candidates for President would step aside for the younger ones. And, I'm 66, so by older I mean anyone my age or older. It's time for the younger generations to step in and us old folks to give up the reins.
It looks like a beautiful day for two people who were meant for each other.
GREAT toast. I hope you are right-the divorce rate right now is at an all time high and climbing every year. I hope this generation can turn it around and bring some stability and longevity to marriage. For the past few years it has been "for better or worse or until something even better comes along".
Beautiful venue and the flowers are gorgeous as are the bride and groom....so cute together. xo Diana
I agree with Nana Diana!! Time for folks to remember that COMMITMENT is an action word. You have to be committed, even when it's hard, even when it's not fun. I've been married 30 years and its not because either one of us is perfect or because its all been a bed of roses. It's because 30 years ago we said for better or for worse PERIOD. And we meant it. Congrats to the happy couple and prayers for many many years of happiness!!!
Such a beautiful couple! Your niece looks lovely in her gown. The toast from the best man was so special. Thank you for sharing part of their day.
Such a thoughtful message! Congratulations to this darling couple.
What a lovely post, Gina, and so inspiring. Adding my congratulations.

Congratulations to this special couple! The best man's toast made me smile.
What a beautiful setting for a wedding...they are so cute together.
Many happy blessings to them....
What a beautiful wedding ... what a beautiful couple. I LOVED the toast...it spoke volumes. Thank you for sharing such an intimate moment with us.
It looks like it was a beautiful wedding and the toast was very sweet and from the heart..
Congrats to the bride and groom, and I am looking forward to hearing an update on their one year anniversary following up on their good habits.
Marriage in the youth has such a moral decline now a days, married one day, divorced the next day, it's refreshing to see a strong commitment in the young and perhaps it will be a testimony to the up and coming youth to follow in these footsteps.
Beautiful home, beautiful wedding, beautiful couple :)
I love weddings, and can't wait to plan one someday for my daughter.
See you soon dear, thank you dearly for your beautiful visit and comment that joyed my weekend.
