Blessing a Bride

On a hot summer afternoon, we gathered to bless a young bride ...

(for more Mosaic Mondays see Little Red House )

... with cool lemonade in an antique punch bowl ...
... with tempting treats ...


... with the passing on of traditions ...
... with laughter and tears, prayers and blessings ...
... with written words of wisdom in a red journal she'll add to as she grows in marriage and life ...
...and with gifts for her new life.
And one of us wore shoes that made us all smile. We wanted her to dance.
