Traverse City Celebration





















Thursday, June 28 - the family all gathered in beautiful Traverse City to celebrate God's wonderful goodness and His wonderful creation! We began Thursday evening with relatives arriving from Lynden, Washington, Vineland, Ontario, New Orleans, Louisiana, NewPort Richey, Floriday, Houston, Texas, and of course Grand Rapids, Michigan. We had a evening of pizza, rum and cokes, beer, and great company! We caught us with our extended family and enjoyed meeting the new members of our family.

Friday we spent time getting our pedicures and manicures. We finished up some of the details of the reception. We had the wedding rehearsal and dinner (taco bar) -- it was awesome. We went back to our condo and had some margaritas with family and friends. We were all ready to call it a night to get ready for the big day tomorrow.

Saturday morning - everyone was busy - helping decorate the tent for the reception, getting hair done, getting the appetizers ready for the wedding reception. The skies looked cloudy and it did sprinkle a little. I tried not to worry about the weather - God's voice kept telling me "Trust Me".
It could not have been more perfect! The sun was shining, a light breeze that blew the streamers, and it was about 72 degrees. The groom was so handsome, the bride was so beautiful and the ceremony was definitely centered around our majestic God.
The reception was wonderful with grilled pork, potatoe salad, coleslaw, baked beans, etc. and lemonade. Brownies with soft serve ice cream and toppings were on board for a wonderful dessert. The dancing with friends and family was over the top.

We are very thankful for all our friends and family that could join us for this wonderful weekend!
