On Saturday my daughter married her best friend. Like my love story, hers began early. They met freshman year in college and nearly eight years later they wed. My artistic daughter designed everything for her beautiful wedding. Her father built the chupah. She hand painted driftwood with each guest’s name. My sisters placed over 80 vintage bottles filled with hydrangeas, greenery, baby’s breath and fairy lights on heirloom lace doilies at every table.

She carried my Nana’s hankie, and had two of Poppop’s hankies embroidered for her father and me to dry our happy tears!

140 family and friends celebrated with us!

Years ago when I first set up my LoveDance website, my daughter painted a picture that reminded me of Yeshua and Mary Magdalen. And Saturday when she met her beloved at the chupah, I once again relived the beautiful love story.

Our little family joyously expanded with a new son…

Here’s to Happily Ever After!
