Mr and Mrs Defee

Well they finally did it!! Michelle and Kasey tied the knot this weekend! I have to admit, I was really worried about having a wedding in my living room. I wasn't sure how to make the room look "weddingish". I read an article years ago that had the idea of taking all different shapes and sizes of clear crystal candle holders and putting them all on a table at a wedding or shower. I had never attempted the idea before but I thought that it would be a good backdrop for a wedding and decided to give it a try. My mom helped me buy, steal and borrow all of the holders. It was well worth the work because it turned out perfect!! Michelle wanted red roses and hearts as her accents. My Aunt Cindy (who makes all the amazing cakes) made the most beautiful wedding cake and groom's cake. Michelle was beautiful - seriously just glowing and SO happy. Little Ethan was Kasey's best man and looked adorable in his little suit. The justice of the peace was great - she was an older woman and just had that sweet grandmotherly sense about her. She spoke of love, commitment and honor - it was a beautiful ceremony. Kasey and Michelle each wrote their own vows and they were heartfelt and emotional. I really can not believe that my little sis is married. It was a special day and I am so happy for them. That night after all the guests had left and the boys were in bed, Scott and I were exhausted. The house was spotless, candles lit, wonderful arranged flowers on every table, the smell of roses in the air - we ate left over wedding cake and snuggled on the couch. What a perfect ending to a perfect day - why can't everyday be like that!?!?
