But as I was reading the menu...ravioli? yum! ...I missed what was happening in the front and when I next glanced up our nephew, Tom, was standing in the front with the other guy that had told us to sit down in the first place.
And the other guy said "Tom and Kris have a surprise for everyone. They are getting married!" And suddenly the Beatles song, "All You Need is Love" starting playing...
There was a collective "gasp" all around the room.
And an even bigger "gasp" when Kris walked through the back door and started up the aisle wearing a spectacular wedding dress!
Unbeknownst (isn't that a cool word?) to only about five people Kris had scooted out wearing her sleek purple cocktail dress......changed her clothes......grabbed her gorgeous bouquet......and strode confidently in her cobalt blue shoes to walk up the aisle to meet her groom... ...and then they proceeded to get married...
... in front of a spell-bound group of family and friends... Vows were exchanged. A ring was dropped. As our nephew says "there were three of them and they were small AND I only dropped one!" A kiss sealed the marriage......and everyone rejoiced as the newly joined couple shared their radiant smiles......happiness scented the air as everyone in the intimate room shared tears and joy with the lovely couple...
...and since this is getting way too long I'll just have to finish the rest tomorrow!
Goodnight! Sweet dreams!
(a romantic...) sigh....

ReplyDeleteDid you change the name of your blog? I would have sworn it was Jenny Matlock...off on a tangent and now it says off on my tangent. Or maybe I'm imagining all of this and I'm off my rocker. :)

Oh Jenny...that is so awesome...what a great wedding..
ReplyDeleteAmazing that they were able to keep this a secret!!!! What a lovely idea and so sweet and natural!!!
