At Last....Alli's Wedding!

What a glorious occassion! A month ago, I had the honor and priviledge of being Allison's Matron of Honor at her wedding. It was so wonderful to be at Alli's side all day, helping to make sure she felt beautiful, relaxed, and elated. I could not believe how much work it was to be an honor attendant, but it was so worth it to see Alli smiling all day. The day dawned bright and glorious. The ceremony was sweet and special. The reception was fun and full of memories. All too quickly, Allison and CE, my new brother-in-law, left under a curtain of sparklers for their wedding night while the rest of us remained among green flowers, cake crumbs, and memories, in the wake of their love, which still radiated in the room like dozens of glowing candles - soft and strong at once.
