Celebrating with Krista and Steve

May 27th - Monday

We spent Saturday helping Krista and Steve renew their Wedding Vows of 15 years.  It was a beautiful day at the Grand Canyon, not too cool and not too warm.  They held the celebration in a pavilion and had a fire in the fireplace, so it was nice and cozy.

Krista and Michelle made all of the plans and arrangements while Lou and I were in Florida, so I didn't have any duties and as it turned out, it was a good thing.  With the accident, I was lucky to be able to walk to get into the car and get their.  Mary, Steve's mother was the gal to help when Krista and Michelle needed an extra hand.  She is always good to come when called, even if it is just to watch Matt, while a special task is completed.

With the allergies that Krista and Matthew have to endure, cooking and baking really has to be done by their family and they sure cooked and baked up a storm.  They made individual cupcakes that were decorated with intertwined  chocolate hearts that they made with liquid chocolate, then a bride and groom cake with a special K and S made with the same chocolate.  I thought it was really neat.

Robby and Michelle

Robby played the cello and Michelle sang before the ceremony started, all in all it was a very nice day for all of us.  She had a professional photographer, so we should all have nice photos for the family members.

I do believe all of the decorations were all hand made.  They used fresh lilacs for flowers on the six tables.
