The blog has been a bit quiet for the last few days as Buddy and I traveled back to Waxahachie for a wedding. Some dear friends of ours, Amber and Juan, were married this last weekend, and we were not only there to share in their big day, but to also participate in all of the wedding festivities.
What impressed us most about the entire weekend was the love that was evident in each detail of the wedding ceremony. While Amber and Juan are both accomplished young adults with an exciting future ahead of them (personally and professionally), it was the affection and warmth that was a part of their wedding that was so endearing. Not only did friends and family travel great distances to be there and to share in wedding ceremony, but the events leading up to the actual wedding as well as the ceremony itself were filled with great love: between the bride and groom, by the parents of the bride and groom towards their children who were the first to marry from either side, for extended family who participated in the wedding as wedding party, pastor, and honored guests, and of course, in the good wishes of all the friends.
To the new couple:
Ámbar y Juan -
Felicitaciones a usted ambas sobre su boda reciente y recuerdospara una unión larga y feliz. Recuerde, "el viaje verdadero deldescubrimiento consiste no en buscar nuevos paisajes sino en tenerojos nuevos."
(translation: Congratulations to you both upon your recent wedding and best wishes for a long and happy marriage. Remember, "the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes".)

Holly! How sweet of you! Juan and I are both so glad you guys came. We had a great time ourselves and were only disappointed that we felt like we just couldn't say enough thank yous to all our friends who made the trip.
I'm JUST now trying to catch up on people's blogs and I have 22 from the Texas Gal to read through. May take me a few days :-)
