The Bride Wore Black

Hubby and I were honored to attend the wedding of Mark and Alice Zane. Alice did indeed wear black and they did it their way: live music, comfortable surroundings, good food, and smiles all around. The ceremony itself was the only one I’ve ever heard performed by a priest that actually made sense…..he understood marriage. I found myself getting lost in his words, hoping others there were listening, wishing some folks I knew had been there to hear him. I knew that Mark and Alice were off to a great start by having him perform their ceremony.

After they exchanged vows, we saw what’s become a very familiar scene: Alice sitting and listening to Mark playing his guitar and singing. She had the same look of awe of her face, although this time he was singing a special hymn just for her. It was a magical moment for all of us.

We wish them years of happiness…. (and thanks, Mark, for sitting Donna Colton at our table at the reception! I was star struck!)
