Wedding Bells

Our good friends Chichi and Sabrina are getting married this weekend, and since John and I are both in the wedding party, we’re gearing up for a whirlwind weekend.  Tonight, we have our respective bachelor and bachelorette activities.   We girls are getting manicures and pedicures and then heading to my house to relax and eat yummy food–one word: chocolate!  Of course, Friday is rehearsal, and Saturday is the happy event, I’ll post pictures if I can get some.  I’m so thrilled for these two, and pray that God will bless then as they seek to honor him in their new life together.

I’ve been thinking a lot over the past few days about my own wedding (our 4 year anniversary is two weeks from today!) and the events of the week before it, and I remember how blessed I was and am.  I remember very little stress the week of my wedding, and I remember just being so excited and thrilled to have the friends and family I love the most near me for my Big Day!  At the time, I didn’t realize the effort it took on the part of my family, friends and bridal party, to make that week so smooth and enjoyable–I sortof thought it just happened, but now I know better.  I’m so thankful for the awesome people who were a part of my wedding.

Anyway, here are some pictures in honor of Chichi and Brina’s BIG DAY.  They truly are the perfect pair! 

Penn’s Landing: Downtown Philly.  This is  an older picture, but I couldn’t find anything more recent of just the two of them.
The Group, Girls: Carrie, Sabrina, Me, Chidinma
Classic John and Chi: going for the gangsta look

Aww Kim, Thanks for the links! I really like the pic of you and me… we need to do something about that red-eye though. :)

I don’t know why you couldn’t post a comment before. This one went to my “awaiting moderation” file, so I need to check my privacy settings…

The wedding was awesome. The Merion hosted the wedding and everything was better than I could have imagined. The food was also very good, (chilean sea bass for me). Kim, I have to thank-you and let you know that your comment about Ruth and I being your favorite married couple was extremly flattering. It made my day! Also, thanks for posting the pics. I still have to download mine.
