We didn't have a huge area to decorate and the reception was a simple one so mostly we did centerpieces and a few tables with a greeting area for the receiving line. Daniel and Aubrey were the perfectly smiling bride and groom as they greeted their guests.
During the reception we took care of the food table. The kids dished ice cream and I and a few family friends helped keep the refreshments in good supply.
As the evening closed down we even found time to visit with some of the guests. It was such a pleasure to assist in a wedding. Weddings are such exciting times and it was fun to watch the family visit together and renew their associations one with another during the occasion. It is so easy to get caught up in the busyness of life that sometimes family relationships are neglected, but what a comfort to watch a family come together again, greeting and loving each other as though no time had passed at all. One day, we will all cross the veil and renew relationships with family members that we haven't seen for a very long time, and I think that that reunion is going to be grand and glorious. Any petty differences that ever existed will drop away as we associate with one another welcoming love and unity into our hearts and souls.
