Bethany's Wedding, Post 3
This is a my-own-family-centric view of the reception, as I wasn't about to download every great picture of people y'all don't know.
The reception, like the wedding, was most of all romantic. Still December-esque, the lighting was dim and sparkly, and it started to rain. It started to rain in an already humid Mississippi, and since we had the doors open, you could hear the rain and smell the earth. Very romantic, indeed.
Jackson was soaking by the end of the reception, playing on the wet porch. Matthew told him to make his "funny face" for the camera:

Jackson the ring bearer. Matthew thinks, and I agree, that he looks like a politician.
Harry in veil:
Our extended family (2 of my dad's brothers and families, my mother's parents and cousin, and of course my immediate family, Mama & Daddy, 3 sisters - all married!):
None of the pictures I'm posting really captures the dress. It's the same one I wore, as well as my mother and grandmother, but it looked the best on Bethany, no doubt (I'm not being modest). She made cap sleeves where I had short sleeves (it was longsleeved originally and for my mother in the 70s) and just carried off the antique look better. We're debating now what to do with it - would it be intact for one of our daughter(s)? It made it from the 40s, so why not?

I am a terrible sister. But repentant. Terrible, because I'm just now posting pictures of Bethany's mid-December wedding. I'm sorry!
Wedding preparation. Doing Bethany's hair is her good friend Sara, who traveled all the way from Africa for this wedding:
The whole church looked and smelled like December. The pews & front were swathed with live evergreens, poinsettas and red roses were everywhere. Simple but rich. A great description of Bethany:
Mrs. Peter Anderson. Ironically, another good friend of Bethany's, the only bridesmaid that wasn't her sister, is named Bethany, and she married a man named Peter.

Another text message received from my friend Jeff: "It's a good thing you're not a cross-eyed teacher, otherwise you'd have trouble controlling your pupils."

I have to brag
Look at what my brilliant husband was just awarded. Once again, the Lord has provided (through the dadgum genius of Matthew Wright).

Our house sits on the side of a hill on the back of a loop. Traffic is usually light and one of Benjamin's favorite new activities is riding down the hill. Last night, Josh and I decided to get in on the action....

We call this one "Natural Labor Induction". (Yes, I am 38 weeks pregnant.)
