A wedding in the rain

A wedding in the rain

Originally uploaded by sarahsmileTX

It continued to rain, and rain, and rain last night. Even so, we drove down to Howe last night to see my little brother Jake get married to a lovely girl named Haley. They had decided to get married about a week ago and managed to pull off a lovely ceremony in such a short time. She wore my mom’s veil, which she gathered on to a garland to wear. They got married at her mom’s house, which we packed into because of all the rain and mud outside. But it was a nice ceremony, taken from the new Lutheran hymnal and similar to the liturgy Ryan and I had at our wedding.

It’s weird to think of Jake being married, but I wish him and Haley all the joy and happiness that Ryan and I have had in our marriage so far!
