Last evening we attended the wedding of my cousin. He has been a widower a number of years and found himself a gal who has been a widow a long time. They are both 70 something. They enjoy each others company and make each other happy.
The minister said that they are the most “in love” couple he has ever counseled before marriage.
I was the official photographer….what are cousins for anyways! The grooms brother was the best man and the grooms aunt was the matron of honor.
It was a lovely ceremony with a wedding supper that followed the ceremony. Sandwiches, chips, pickles, pasta salads and jello salads….oh and punch, coffee and wedding cake.
I may share a photo of the happy couple someday…but for now the groom and bride have not seen the photos…and they should see them first.
The church was packed, there was standing room only for the ceremony. This couple has much support from family and the community. (They didn’t send out any invitations. Invitation was by word of mouth only.)
Sounds like a wonderful start to a wonderful marriage. Congratulations to the new husband and wife.

ReplyDeleteThis is a very happy event to happen just before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful celebration of that wedding this close to Christmas. It sounds wonderful. Glad you were there and could fill us in on the details.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for them. The ceremony sounds simple but very special.
ReplyDeleteWe widowers married two months ago. Our friends seem happy for us but my kids and grandkids have been awful. I envy your cousin.
ReplyDeleteThat is a sweet story of love later in life and that the minister said they are the most in love couple he has counseled.
ReplyDeleteSounds like there was much love in the community for this couple, as well. How encouraging to hear such a sweet story. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
ReplyDeleteCongrats and best wishes. What a blessing that they found one another.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely that these two found each other. I have photographed a couple of family weddings... it's fun... and I'm a whole lot cheaper than hiring a professional. I only require a piece of wedding cake!
