We were lucky enough to participate in the most romantic day ever last month! Matt and Alison, our best friends ever, had a special ceremony that blessed their marriage in the Catholic church. Their vow renewal ceremony was beautiful! I've never been to any kind of Catholic ceremony and I found it to be a wonderful experience. Alison's oldest brother Peter, we call him Father Uncle Peter, is a priest and he came to perform the ceremony. Paxton and Stanton were altar boys. A lot of Matt and Alison's family was present in the tiny little historic San Antonio Catholic church here in Angel Fire. The music was beautiful as were the vows and readings. The spirit certainly was present and there wasn't a dry eye in the place. That top picture shows Matt's mom Shirley, then Matt and Alison, and Hope and Peter, Alison's parents.
Here are Alison and I right before the ceremony. There is a tiny little room off to the side of the chapel that we waited in. It was girl time.
Here are the guys having their guy time right before the wedding at the house. Jon was Matt's best man and Alison's sister Patty, who is super awesome and fun and lives in Austin, was the maid of honor. We had a wonderful time.
Here are the love birds. Sooo romantic to see people that you love, people that you know have stayed together even when it was hard, re - pledge their devotion to eachother. Jon and I were both so touched by the whole thing.
Here are the Altar boys - Paxton, looking absolutely thrilled, and Stanton rubbing it in that he was thrilled to participate. The altar boys help with the host (their sacrament) - it was really cool to see Pax and Stanton working hand in hand with their Uncle Father Peter during the ceremony.
Here's Alison with her parents. Hope's jacket was soooo beautiful - just the same color as her eyes.
Here's a shot during the ceremony.
A great shot of the altar boys waiting for the ceremony to start.
Peter, Alison, Patty and I right before the mass started. Happy Day!
