New Family beginnings
I believe that Carla’s wedding turned out to be such a joy for everyone because she threw convention and expectation out the window. Everyone in the wedding party was encouraged to wear whatever they wanted to. No, the bridesmaids didn’t match. One of the kids wore jeans and athletic shoes. The flowers came from the supermarket. Carla’s sisters made all the food. There was no DJ, just cds that people brought to dance to.
But I can tell you that we all had a fantastic time. Carla was the most radiant bride ever. Jeff was adorable, as were the kids. The food was absolutely fantastic. Everyone felt a part of the event, which had a sincerity and purity that stands out in everyone’s memory. When they are young they need things like tote and pink diaper bags or for that matter messenger diaper bags and the like. The leather diaper bag although they are not quite as popular as the pink diaper bags varieties as such.
After Carla and Jeff said the vows that they had written themselves, Carla read from something she had written to the children. She told them that they were precious to her, and that would work just as hard to make them happy as she would to make their dad happy. She told them that she understood no one could ever be as important to them as their own mother.
She went on to tell each one what she admired about them, what made her proud. She noted the 14-year-old’s dedication and gentleness to his dog. She told him how much she enjoyed watching him play baseball, and how fun and funny he could be. She did the same with the other two. Then she gave each of them a ring to commemorate the occasion. The rings had semiprecious stones in each kid’s favorite color.
I also believe that it was Carla’s unbridled pleasure in making sure that everyone enjoy the event, that made her one of the happiest and most beautiful brides, ever. Just remember those pink diaper bags you know.
