A few of my favorite wedding photos

Pt 4 Pisa and the coastal apartments

 We had to stop in Pisa, just to see the tower. It was the wildest thing. We did the obligatory poses, then ate lunch and left promptly. Nothing else interesting there. So we were off to the coast.

Ok, driving in the coastal region, known as the Cinque Terre is ridiculous. We're talking edge of the cliffs, road crumbling beneath you into a ravine, you could die at any second kind of driving. And when another car comes the opposite way, you scream. But seeing these towns was worth it.

our apartment for the night

tram from parking section to hotel

you could either climb the massive amount of stairs or ride the tram with your luggage

We had to climb these stairs later that evening. They go from sea level up to our apartment. I thought I was gonna have a heart attack. I stopped midway and took a pic down and another one up. Absolutely ridiculous.

That red dot at the top was Josh, aka legs of steel, and he wasn't even at the top yet, it isn't in the pic...

UP next.. The Cinque Terre and Monte Carlo

(sigh)

I know I need to finish Italy, but my daughter just got married. It will happen.
The rehearsal, rehearsal dinner and wedding day went off perfectly. It was so much fun and yet such a blur because it went by so fast. All those months of planning and it's just over in a flash. She's gone to Jamaica and her new life. My house looks like a wedding exploded, but I'm back at work this week so it will have to wait.
Everyone said it was the most beautiful, sweetest wedding they'd ever been to. Joe even said, aside from his wife, she was the most beautiful bride he'd ever seen. Another pastor, Karen, who does tons of weddings said it was at the very top of her favorites list. The staff were all saying it was something "magical" and just so wonderful. The photographer said he'd never taken such wonderful photos. (can't wait to see them) Our videographer showed us a couple of clips that were breathtaking. It was as if God opened up the heavens and released His Spirit into this mansion for the day. It was indescribable.

 Josh surprised Jordan and had recorded his version of "You are so beautiful" for them to dance to for the father daughter dance.Then we all danced. And danced. And danced. It was so much fun. Here's some guest pics for now..

 Hannah almost stole the show with her comedy routine speech and then while a slide show played, she sat down with her keyboard and sang everyone a medley of songs from their favorite band, Train. She got a standing ovation.

Before the ceremony they prayed together (he was behind a door so he couldn't see her) and they both broke down in massive tears. It was the sweetest thing ever.
