The Big Day

January 1st, 2010... "The Big Day" finally arrived. Dad & Millie got hitched!

I'm sure it was a tough decision but they decided to get married in our home. I believe weather was a big consideration for this and it turned out to be a good decision - at least for those of us in the South - because there was 8" of snow "back home" and more on the way. Here, we had a beautiful day; very cold with temps in the low 30's, but blue skies none-the-less. Whatever the reasons were, I feel quite blessed that we were able to be in attendance.

I didn't think to count how many were here while it was happening but I do believe there were 15, counting Dad, Millie and Walter, the preacher. There were 7 more (if I count correctly) in attendance via the phone as well. We had this idea to call anyone available back home and let them listen in on the ceremony. I hoped they could hear okay.
Millie prepared a small feast that could have served twice or three times as many people as were there. It was all yummy, especially the potato soup she made.

Don't they look happy? (Did you notice that the bride and groom on the cake top are sitting down?) So cute (both couples, that is).
