Nuptials!

Well- on Saturday I went to my first wedding this year and probably not the last. Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Rebecca Flynn and Patrick Rooney have tied the knot.  There were white roses and orchids, toasts and Indian dancing, linguini pasta and lots of kids running around. The bride's dress did NOT fall off and whenever we tapped our crystal, they dutifully kissed- and relished it. The wedding itself was very traditional and well done- the priest who witnessed the marriage really knew them well and was able to give a very personal homily. *Note- In the Catholic church, the priest witnesses the marriage but the couple administer the sacrament to one another.

I was seated at Table 11 with a lot of former Trinity students and old friends. After a lovely cocktail hour and dinner, there was cake cutting and Becca danced to What a Wonderful World with her father. They literally walked off into the sunset with all of us blowing bubbles and happy sighs their way.

God really used some of my friends to bring them together. Michael Rooney (younger brother of the groom), and John Mysliewiec (of the family that Rebecca lived in Christian household with) shared about how they orchestrated the seating of Becca and Patrick next to each other at a baseball game. They did not share about how we all mercylessly left Rebecca voicemails with messages like "PATRICK!" or "Can I sing at yours and Patrick's wedding" after about their first two dates. Needless to say- we told you so Becca. Here are some photos of the festivities.
