The wedding was last night and it was beautiful ... long, but beautiful. I guess I have never been to an Episcopal wedding before because I do not remember being at such a long wedding. And they tricked me! Actually, they tricked Soliel and me! They asked us to be witnesses; what they actually meant was maids of honor. And since the minister was Native American, there was also a blessing of the robe and smudging - we had to hold the blanket behind them at the start of this part of the ceremony. Yes, the 2 shortest people in the wedding party had to hold up the blanket! But we did it, we fulfilled our responsibilities to the happy couple! Here they are at their first dance.
And here they are with their daughter
Mary, singing a special song for their first dance.
The whole experience was very special. Since U. S. law did not allow them to be married until recently, they were in a committed relationship for 17 years and raised a bunch of kids together. So the kids were a part of the ceremony and did some very special things. Mary sang at both the wedding and reception and Kat made the blanket and Mary Kay's jacket. Kat and her husband Matt hosted the rehearsal dinner and Kat did all the cooking for a Korean dinner. Here's Kat in action.
CONGRATULATIONS to Anne and Mary Kay!
