Kristin and Brett's Ceremony Weekend

Kristin and Brett's ceremony was beautiful. I am so thankful I was able to be a part of it. I flew out Friday afternoon. I got to play makeup artist for the bride and matron of honor for the rehearsal dinner. Then after a great practice run and food, Kristin, Morgan, Melanie and I headed for a girls night at the hotel. Of course all of our girlie plans hit the wayside when we saw the comfy beds.

The next morning we woke up and headed to Jamba Juice and Starbucks for breakfast. Then we hung out for a little while in the hotel. Around noon, we got to the country club to start getting ready. Morgan's mom did Melanie, Morgan and my hair while I worked on our makeup. Of course it was a little bit of a madhouse until the ceremony started.

The ceremony went beautifully. Brett's grandfather gave a wonderful sermon on the importance of commitment and God in a marriage. He used a bottle of wine as a symbol. The bottle is committed to holding the wine, just as the couple is committed to holding the marriage together. He said that God is the cap, and without Him, we can't hold do it.

The rest of the evening was fun and relaxing. I spent most of the time with Morgan's parents and fiance, and Melanie and Chris. It was wonderful to hang out with such wonderful people. On my plane ride home, I sat next to a 13 yr old boy from France. What an interesting conversation that was!
