Mary & Jason's Wedding
June 9, 2001/Richardson, TX

---

	on a warm summery day i had the priveledge of attending Mary's wedding.  it was beautiful.  everything from her dress, to the bridesmaid's dresses, the flowers, the cakes, the braids and curls in her bridesmaid's hair, the music, the bubbles, all of it.
the car they rode in from the church to the reception...	the dance...	i have to admit that this was by far the best wedding cake i have ever eaten!  it was yummy!  :-)
i've known Mary since she was in 7th grade.  it is a strange and wonderful thing to see her all grown up into a beautiful woman, and joining her life together with a young man that she loves.  i'm proud of who she has become.
sending them on their way...		her maid of honor, Elisa, with her fiance!  i've also known Elisa since she was in the little group of  7th and 8th grade girls i taught.  i did not even recognize her at the wedding at first - she is even lovelier and grown up now.
Elisa and Michael pose for me. it was so great to see them, and the other youth i'd known while at that church (no longer youth anymore but adults now.)  time changes people and circumstances.	Jamie and Tammi - 2 of Mary's older sisters, and Michael	my daugher, Melody, enjoys the bubbles i brought home.  a souvenier of the day.
