Oh Happy Wedding Day!

A Wedding at Home


The wedding was held this past Saturday ... Our baby girl is now with her husband in their new home.
Ann and her Father
 My what a blessed day!
Giving her our blessing
May the good Lord bless their wee nest.

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and the rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again my friend
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
Irish Blessing

Ahhhhhhhhh. Beautiful. Just beautiful. Thanks for posting these three photos. It's somehow reassuring - to know that not everyone is caught up in the "trappings" of $$$ and that homes are still being established on firm foundations of faith in the Lord Jesus, common sense, and LOVE ♥

Thanks for letting us be participants to an all American wedding. I've never seen such genuine planning down to the tiniest detail, but never over the top. I'm impressed and happy for the great Mac Family.
Being one more Irish wedding blessing.
May your mornings bring joy and your evenings bring peace.

May your troubles grow few as your blessings increase.

May the saddest day of your future

Be no worse than the happiest day of your past.

May your hands be forever clasped in friendship

And your hearts joined forever in love.

Your lives are very special,

God has touched you in many ways.

May his blessings rest upon you

And fill all your coming days.
