1. We stayed at my sister's house when we went to Ohio. We became part of the welcoming party whenever family members/friends arrived. I have brothers/sisters-in-law in California and North Carolina. It was so much fun anticipating their arrival, as well as family members from Pennsylvania and New York. Friends arrived from all over Ohio.

2. There was a photo booth at the wedding reception. You could get a nice picture or a silly picture taken which was printed for you on the spot.

3. There was a cookie table at the reception which was new to me. People brought several dozen cookies to the reception, and along with the wedding cake, you could pick more cookies than you could possibly eat from the cookie buffet. There were cookie bags at the display of over 3000 cookies, and before you left, you were encouraged to pack a bag of cookies to take with you. Needless to say, I had cookies for breakfast the day after the wedding. Sad, but true.

4. One of my favorite events was a "girls only" lunch the day before the rehearsal dinner. I was so honored to be part of the luncheon. My face hurt from smiling so much!

5. FSF family and friends! I pray for all of you, your families, your friends in my daily prayers... and thank you for praying for me!

Maintenance is a forever endeavor!
