Don't Let the Rain Fall Down

It was wedding time this weekend ... two outdoor weddings in one very rainy weekend. 

Did you read that correctly?

Friday, with rain pounding against our windows (3 inches fell that morning), I texted my 

friend mother of the bride to "hang in there." She texted back that the wedding venue
was under water. The weather began to "mellow" by mid afternoon. 

By wedding bell time you could not have experienced a more perfect early fall
evening ... blue skies, freshly washed air with humidity slowing
vanishing ... Such a pretty, pretty wedding. 

 (by the way the chairs were white until I turned this mosaic

 into a 60s look. Aqua chairs would have been fun though!)

Saturday, the day of wedding #2 brought a deluge of torrential rain for much of the day.
At 4 pm we headed up to the lake, barely being able to see the road for the rain.
By the time we arrived at our destination, the sun was shining and it was
 apparent the rain showers had not been there recently. 

Another pretty wedding, this time in the woods with suspendered groomsmen
and a bride whose beauty could take your breath away.
Three young flower girls added to the joy of the wedding party.

The sun smiled down as it set across the lake ... a soft breeze made me reach
for my shawl as twilight brought a sweet chill to the evening air.
Time for the father daughter dance. We got up for a closer look to see how
our friend's dance lessons had paid off. Not bad at all. And tears came to my eyes when bride's
 big brother tapped his dad on the shoulder to steal the last minute of their dance.
