this weekend was full of love for us. love-tastic if you will…
instead of our usual valentine’s plans of dinner and dessert, we had an extra special event to attend. last monday my mom rang us to ask us to come and witness her and her boyfriend mel get married. they said they decided they didn’t know what they were waiting for and when the town judge (a friend of mel’s) offered to officiate any time…the wedding was on for February 14th!
whoa!
exciting!
i don’t know what their “song” is, so i’ll use ours.
listening: naked as we came : iron and wine
my mom has been single since we lost my dad 23 years ago. it is so wonderful to know that love can come at any time and through many paths. this wedding could not be more special. my mom and mel are wonderful together…so fun and too cute! they actually met like 12 years ago and mel has had a crush on her for the duration…so cute! they began dating a few years ago and have been inseparable since! i threw together a cake and we got to witness the exchange of vows, all on my favorite day of love!
