The wedding was beautiful!

Words cannot describe the beauty and hallowed presence of God at this wedding. It was awesome! I wish everyone could see the video. Christa literally glowed all during the ceremony. There were several unique things about this wedding. First, the rehearsal. The family joke, since Christa was a late in life child, that her sisters would be old women when Christa got married and would have to come down the aisle in wheel chairs and with walkers! They made their promise good, as well as their husbands "clowning" around. You can see a Scarbrough event is never dull!

Each of Christa's nephrews that were participating age walked a bridesmaid down the aisle to meet the groomsmen. That was really cute. Instead of the typical trinitiy candle (David was afraid the candles would give him a flash back to Iraq) they had the Three Strand Cord ceremoney-one cord represents God, one represents David and the other represents Christa-during this time the cord is braided into one. Beautiful. At the beginning of the ceremony David's dad prayed but at the end David himself prayed for God's blessing on their marriage. At the reception Christa threw 4 bouquets instead of the traditional one. Why? Because she had caught 4 at her friends weddings. I had strict orders from her that I was to catch one and I did! Felt a little stupid at my age but what's a little stupidity for pleasing the bride????? Here are a few pictures that I think will be self-explanatory. Now it is back to school for me, hopefully I will have something to blog about in the future.

The little guys were enthralled with this beautiful flower girl. Steven was in "love" all weekend! Martha said he kept winking at her all during the wedding! And she acted like she thought she was really the bride!






David and Christa in the receiving line at the reception. He looked so good in his dress blues! We now have two David's in the family. David Vernon is married to my oldest neice so he is called David alpha and Christa's David is called David omega-got to keep things biblical you know!

As already mentioned the Scarbrough's sometimes do crazy things. Apparently Uncle Dan has gone into the cake decorating business! You can tell he will be real successful! lol! I never quite figured out if this moose cake was for the groom or for Carson's 60th birthday party we had after the reception. It was a red velvet cake for those that like their meat rare.

The white smear on David's face is wedding cake-place there by Christa of course.

Everyone knows the wedding is not over until the car is decorated! You can tell this wedding was in the south, look at the bare feet on one of the brides maids!

I'm sorry I don't have better pictures of the wedding party. While they were taking pictures in the church I was downstairs setting up the wedding party's lunch. I worked on this posting last night but had trouble posting pictures, finally gave up and went to bed. Maybe later I will post a picture of the bouquet I caught-I need to take a picture of it.
