The bride was beautiful and the groom was handsome in a
wedding ceremony that came off very smoothly in the sanctuary of Oklahoma First
Church of the Nazarene, Saturday, April 14, 2012. Carol and Beth (Garrett’s Mom) engineered
both the event and the reception single handedly with the help of an army of
volunteers who made mountains of bows (to decorate the reception chairs),
myriads of table and pew bouquets, and a bevy of hand crafted and boxes filled
with assorted chocolates. Too bad we
didn’t know soon enough or we could have all invested in Hobby Lobby
stock. I’m sure the value of that “everything
crafty” store went up during the spending spree that supported this event. Jean, Ardis and friend made mounds of
chocolate truffles and lemon bars for the reception that include both a wedding
cake in four layers each layer a different flavor, a decadent grooms cake and
catered finger foods. Despite the heavy
rains the night before (2 ¾ inches) Randy managed to find several iris blooms
still in good condition (to include one that Erin had cross pollinated as a
child) and placed them on the table holding the wedding cake. People ate, danced and laughed and sent the
newly wedded couple off in a cloud of bubbles.
Honeymoon was spent on a cruise to the Bahamas. May their life together ever be so
sweet. Congratulations Erin and Garrett!

It looks like a beautiful wedding. We are sorry we weren't able to be there. May God richly bless their new life as a couple! Way to go family and friends that worked so hard to pull off the lovely affair!
