a fresh start

look closely...you may catch a few shocked expressions (likely the result of a comment about the bride's physique), hysterical laughter (likely the result of the occasional butt grab) and the groom's black eye (definitely the result of a pre-wedding wrestle with his adult son) and it will give you a glimpse into the absolute riot this wedding was.  what you don't have to look very closely for is the love they clearly share, not only for one another, but for their family, friends and the God they serve.  what a sweet day and what a blessed marriage!

i could do a whole post on this little girl alone...in fact, i think i will.
