CONGRATULATIONS KEN & KATHLEEN

Flying back to New England in January wasn't something we had planned but my baby brother set the date for January 14, just one day after our 28th wedding anniversary and we found ourselves flying back for two nights. 

My brother Ken and his bride Kathleen had a cold yet blue sunny sky day for this special occasion.  The venue was decorated with white lights and white flowers.  They said their wedding vows in front of forty guests and there was not a dry eye.  Kathleen chose the reading from 1 Corinthians, which I read, her best friend Kim read a story and they had a Irish reading.   They had a warming of the rings ceremony which I've never seen before but it is a lovely tradition of passing the rings around and each of the guests lay their hands on the rings and silently say a blessing.

The wedding was elegant as was the beautiful gown Kathleen wore.  The food was five star with hot appetizers and the guests chose between filet mignon, swordfish, vegetable medley or chicken.  Ken's three grown children each gave a toast and again brought tears to everyone's eyes.

My son, Daniel, Karen and granddaughter, Kiev drove down through a snow storm from Quebec to join us and we shared a hotel room just minutes from the wedding restaurant.  I loved spending time with Kiev because at a little over two years old, she is full of energy and hugs. 

Beautiful Family

Kathleen was glowing - Such happy smiles

Beautiful granddaughter
 The flight back from Hartford to Yuma was longer than we anticipated due to delays.  We got back after midnight and our king size bed never felt better.

Thanks for stopping in to say hi and God Bles
