This is the week, that we would be doing all the last things before Rachel and Weston's planned wedding date of April 25th. We were all planned and prepared to have everything done a head of time, that could be done, and just have this week to enjoy friends and family coming into town. Oh, and we'd be doing flowers at the end of this week.
One bright thing is that it looks as if the date we've chosen for May will work, with things opening up, but it will still be a small wedding, and reception. We also will live stream the wedding so family and friends can celebrate with them, even if its at a distance. We hadn't thought about live streaming it before, but since we are going to do it there is a silver lining, that means Tim's mom, my niece, and several others will now be able to watch them get married.
We will have a big reception for the original guest list in August at our venue. The plan for now is that everyone will wear their wedding clothes to the August event: bride and groom, bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls and ring bearer.
Its so unprecedented. It's very atypical, we're doing what we can to still get them married, and have a wedding celebration. A family we know had a daughter marry the other day, and only the parents, preacher, and photographers were there. No siblings or other family or friends.
I'm sure there will be tears this week. I, who rarely remember if or what I dreamt, dreamed last night that all of the sudden we could have the wedding on the original date and at our venue. We were all feeling like it was too short notice for guests now, and we'd still have to do it in May. Sigh....
Know that we are trusting in God's goodness and in His sovereignty. But I believe its okay to grieve the plans that have had to be changed, and the timing of them getting to live as man and wife. If you think of us this week, please pray for my darling girl, and Wes. Their hearts are going to be hurting this week.
