My Best Friend’s Wedding

by //

I’m sorry I have been MIA for the past few days, but I am still recovering from my best friend‘s wedding! It was such a beautiful event and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect! The whole week before it was in the 40’s, cloudy, and felt freezing cold. The day after it snowed 12 inches! And the wedding day was a warm 50 with not a cloud in the sky! Thank you Jesus! It’s pretty amazing what prayer can do.

Anyway, this is what I wore. The bride choose my dress and complimented it with this gorgeous scarf (a bridesmaids gift). After the ceremony and photos (which I can’t wait to share more of!) I threw on a mint cardigan which went perfectly with my scarf!

All in all, it was a pretty fairy tale event which I was so happy to be part of. I loved getting to know the friends who my best friend has chosen to place strategically in her life. And I saw the legacy of love passed down from her parents to her and all her siblings. I love seeing weddings of people who really are in love and aren’t just getting married so they can have a wedding. It is a beautiful sight. And I just found this video where you can hear their vows and see them frolicking as husband and wife.

Now, I’m thinking of wearing this dress for Easter with a denim jacket over it like this. What do you think?
