Winter Wedding in North Carolina

Winter is almost over.
And spring is just around the corner.

It has been another crazy winter in North Carolina. We've had some cold days but we've had wonderful weather for outdoor weddings. As you can see Becky was wearing a sleeveless dress when she and Dave got married in February.
Holding on tight.

From "Union by Robert Fulghum
You have known each other from the first glance of acquaintance to this point of commitment. At some point, you decided to marry. From that moment of yes to this moment of yes, indeed, you have been making promises and agreements in an informal way.

All those conversations that were held riding in a car or over a meal or during long walks - all those sentences that began with “When we’re married” and continued with “I will and you will and we will”- those late night talks that included “someday” and “somehow” and “maybe”- and all those promises that are unspoken matters of the heart.

All these common things, and more, are the real process of a wedding. The symbolic vows that you are about to make are a way of saying to one another, “ You know all those things we’ve promised and hoped and dreamed- well, I meant it all, every word.”
 
Two hands, two rings.
Dave's rings is carefully placed on his finger.
Happily married.
Happily, happily married. The smiles say it all.
