The Blogging Bride is Married!

We thought the day would never get here then all of the sudden it was here! All the planning gave way to a picture perfect weekend on the Eastern Shore. The weather was made to order for an outdoor wedding. The guys enjoyed playing golf and shooting clay pigeons before the big event. The rehersal dinner was lovely, with everyone enjoying the delicious food and perfect setting. The young folk continued on after the dinner to the Aspen Wye River to hang out and blow off a little steam. Last time I saw them they were checking out farms, LOL. We older folks turned in to get ready for the big day ahead.

The next morning Jim and I woke up to Tracy crawling in bed with us for one last time. Tracy had gotten some pictures blown up and framed of us with her when she was just a month or two old, when we walked into our rooms at the inn there they were! Talk about kleenex time! But Tracy thought of that too, she had hankies made for Jim and I that said” I carry your heart in my heart. ” Needless to say it was a true magic moment for the three of us. We went down to a lovely breakfast made by Anne Marie and the guys went off shooting. We soon set up our Bridal luncheon with the help of the wonderful B & B ladies and Maid Of Honor, Sara! We broke out the bubbly and soon got started on more serious stuff, hair and makeup!!!! The afternoon flew by and soon it was time to get dressed. At three the Grandparents and Godparents came to watch Tracy put on her gown. Wow, she made one beautiful bride!!!!!

Everyone looked beautiful for the wedding the bridsmaids and flowergirls and our litle ring bearer Andrew, who so wanted to get down the aisle to get that lollypop!

The ceremony was lovely and before you know it it was time for the reception. John and Tracy went off in a beautiful horse and carriage for pictures. Everyone else headed for the reception except for the bridal party, getting those last pictures! The cocktail hour was in full swing by the time we got there. Everyone headed into the reception to wait for the bridal party to arrive. Finally they John and Tracy appeared looking so ready to get the party started! The band was wonderful and everyone raved and danced the night away! Tracy and John seemed to have the most fun of all. Their first dance as husband and wife was impressive and all of their dance classes certainly paid off! From then on the dance floor was packed! Here is a picture of the happy couple!
