The beautiful Miss Courtney Voss is now the radiant Mrs. Michael Unruh. The wedding was wonderful, the bride was a vision of loveliness, and the music was... uhh... passable.
Why do people cry at weddings?
Why do I cry at weddings?
It was really a beautiful day.
Jesse and Christine sang a Bebo Norman song. I like the lyrics a lot.
A page is turned by the wind to a boy in curly grin
With a world to conquer at the age of ten
But as history unfolds and the storybook is told
He finds salvation but not at the hands of man
And the God of second chance
Picked him up and He let him dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time, preparing him, the one
To hold him up when he comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And now a man, here you stand
Your day has come
A page is turned in this world to reveal a little girl
With a heart that's bigger, as it is unfurled
By the language in her soul, that's teaching her to grow
With a careful cover of love that will not fail
And the God of second chance
Picked her up and He let her dance
Through a world that isn't kind
And all this time, preparing her the one
To hold her up when she comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And grown up tall, here you are
Your day has come
Beneath the air of autumn, she took him by his hand
And warm within the ardor, she took his heart instead
And high upon the mountain, he asked her for her hand
Just for her hand
A page is turned in this life, he's making her his wife
And there is no secret to the source of this much life
When the grace that falls like rain is washing them again
Just a chance to somehow rise above this land
Where the God of second chance
Will pick them up and he'll let them dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time, they're sharing with the one
That holds them up when they come undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And once again, here you stand
And once again, here you stand
Your day has come
You can get it from iTunes if you want to hear it. I think it's really nice.
Aside from the wedding itself, being in SoCal was fun. I got to see Libby and Jon, Dustin and Katie (they're married!), Phil and Alisha (they're so married; they have been for quite a while now!), Sheri and Chris (they're married with a baby!), Amy (she's married, too!), Lem (who looked so professional taking all the wedding pictures), Christine, Jesse, Tim, Becca F, Bethany, and other friends from that era of my life.
I stayed with Emily, Gabe, and my adorable (and chubby!) nephew; they graciously allowed me to crash on their couch for a few days. I also got to see my aunt Susan, which was nice.
Libby and I had smoothies at Juice Stop and sat outside sipping them and talking. It was like "the old days" again. It was great.
I went to Blessed Sacrament on Sunday morning, and we sang Dear Lord and Father of Mankind, which made me very happy. After church, I went bridesmaid-dress-shopping with Libby and Emily. Finding the perfect dresses may be a challenge. I tried on one that was beautiful, though. And I think Libby's choice of dark green is just fabulous.
