Last night we attended Kristi and Mickey Gerdes' wedding at the Baptist church. It was officiated by the Methodist pastor and had our own Presbyterian minister in the audience just in case intervention was needed.(vbg) I had helped with the floral arrangements and bridesmaids'/groomswomen's bouquets.....yes, listed on the official bulletin of the wedding were two groomswomen along with 4 groomsmen. Both of the groomswomen wore formal black evening gowns while the men wore tuxes. The bridesmaids were in strapless black with white embroidery across the top of the bodice and around the lower part of the tea length skirts. Their bouquets were light pink tulips tied with black organdy ribbon. I did not wire the tulips, so the trick was to get them to stand up and not droop. All went well. Kristi's dress was one of those that only a very small percentage of the population could fit into and look exquisite. The two pics are of Kristi dancing with her oldest daughter and Mickey dancing with his mom. Oh, Charla, parents of the groom listed on the bulletin were Mr. and Mrs. Farris Bennett and Ms. Becky Gerdes. Grandma went to the wedding with me. Ray was trying to take care of problems with spinach harvest. When I got home from the wedding Ray was ready to go to the reception, at House Pasture Cattle Co. Max Stalling was good, but not as outstanding as I thought he would be. My favorite in the evening's music was at the wedding. Catlin Rutherford and Prentiss Varnon played guitar throughout the entire wedding....no piano or organ. Prentiss sang "If I Needed You" and "You Take Me Where I Want to Be". I could sit for hours listening to Catlin play. It was a great evening.
Then, today....... I received an email from the College Board saying .....
(little drumroll here....)

Looks as if all went well and congrats on the AP confirmation. Just got back from the hospital. Oh my! How we'll get Trent home before he spreads that MRSA all over his body will be a trick. The PIC line is under his left arm so of course you scratch it with your right hand, right? I don't know. I think maybe we ought to do another nerve block. AARGH!
What a relief! Glad you got it, and glad you had a good time at the wedding! I thought we'd see pics of the tulip bouquets - I'm glad they came out like you wanted.
Oh, so if you posted pics, does that mean you got a new camera??? Do tell...
