Hello again. I hope you have had a wonderful week. I posted my very first Sunday Selections last week on Saturday I was so mortified I went back on radio silence, too ashamed to show my face around here. Every excuse I can imagine is remarkably lame. At some point during the day I did know it was Saturday. The truth is that while I was reading
Elephant's Child's post, I got very excited. She offered me a weekly conduit for the never ending orphaned photos that make their way onto my phone. She's enjoying the cooling temperatures in Australia. While being on the other side of the Earth from me, she is also on the other side of the International Date Line. That isn't an attempted excuse. I knew where she lives and the time differences before I posted. But I was fooled and there is no one to blame but myself. To be very honest though, I am a bit amazed and proud that I have a friend who lives on the other side of the Earth.
But I Promised You Special...
The pictures that are shared on Sunday Selections are supposed to be the pictures you have languishing on your camera...I have oh, so many of those. These pictures that I want to share aren't them. They haven't been in my possession for so very long... And to be totally honest, I didn't take most of them...maybe any of them. My job that day was to remain present, but visibly obscure while providing comfort and support to my child...And, I have already broken the news of the marriage, so that isn't even a big surprise.
But here are the pictures...

Mollie got married

They kissed before we all escaped back up the aisle to the party ...

Where extroverted children out did their introverted parents...
 |
| They had the first dance... |
 |
| They cut the pie... Mollie isn't a fan of cake. |
 |
There was even a peck at the end of the night. Wink Wink....

My baby girl is married. My son's are healing...that is another blog.
I enjoyed your "Sunday Selections" last week and didn't even notice they were posted on a Saturday! I was too busy looking at your photos! I like this week's offerings too -- what marvelous wedding photos! Mollie and her husband are a gorgeous coule. And I love that they had a Wedding Pie instead of cake!
ReplyDeleteHUGE smiles from here. These are gorgeous photos from a gorgeous day. A wedding pie? What an excellent idea - so long as none of it is saved for the birth of the first child (an archaic custom here).
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I am so grateful to the blogosphere for introducing me to people from around the world.
Here the custom is that the top tier of the cake is saved for the first wedding anniversary. The caterer gave them a frozen pie to save. As for first child, I won't be holding my breath for that one. Neither Mollie nor Chris has any interest in becoming a parent and birth control is simple and effective these days. I think they would make beautiful and talented babies, but it parenthood is not a requirement.
DeleteI love the wedding pie too! And this is really fun and enjoyable. The photos are awesome! What a handsome couple they are.
