• The Rooster Crows at Midnight…

  … and every 30 seconds during the ceremony…

  Jeff and I went to a wedding this weekend for a friend we both know from school and otherwise. Some of Kyle’s extended family is from Smackover – and good friends with Jeff, and Kyle and I went to college together. So anyway – Kyle and Stephanie got married Saturday at St. Catherine’s at Bell Gable in Fayetteville — which I had literally never heard of but apparently is about 2 miles from our house! The ceremony was held at the cutest little stone chapel down a hill off the main road — stone angels and benches and sculptures, several little gardens, and a waterfall. It was such a perfect place for a wedding – and it was a really pretty day. (And apparently there was some sort of farm nearby with a very curious rooster — who tried his best to interrupt the ceremony. It was nice comic relief.) Congrats to Kyle and Steph — of whom I managed to NOT snap a picture the whole time…

  In front of the chapel. The ceremony was held on the steps – with all of us sitting in little white chairs on the lawn. You can’t really tell from this picture – but we’re standing on a little bridge — there’s a little stream of water that flows underneath the walkway. The chapel itself would probably hold about 30 people. I didn’t get any photos of the inside, but it was beautiful– stained glass and chandeliers and beautiful old wooden pews. 

   

   

   

   

  

  The last few pictures are at the reception — there was a dance for “all married couples” but we didn’t get to dance long as they were weeding out couples until they found the pair that had been married the longest– Grandpa and Grandma had been married 49 years!

  We stayed out way too late and I was completely worthless on Sunday – I’m still learning to pace myself…
