I'm so sorry the blog's been so quiet lately, I realized I only
did 3 posts for September. Well, I haven't really had much to
share about.
Anyway, October 5th we attended the wedding Mark Ritter and
Kaitlyn Whittington. It was beautiful! The ceremony was so good
and wonderful. But I have to admit, I wasn't able to "take it all in"
the whole time because I was concentrating
on trying to take good pictures with the cameras I had
which were dying on me on and off! I know the photos aren't as good
quality as some, but they're what I was able to get.
Mr. and Mrs. Steve Tornatore catered for the reception. Mom and
Dad used to go to church with them years ago. They prepare excellent
food, and he liked our cake!
Kaitlyn was a beautiful bride! Dad snapped a phone picture of her coming
down the aisle, which I was unable to get when she was right in my view.
Mark was an excited, happy groom. It was cute to see them so joyful together.
We were asked to make a chocolate groom's cake for the ceremony! We were
happy to do it, but it took a lot of decisions, a lot of cake, and agreements between
us cake decorators. It was heavy to lift too, but the Lord protected it and we were
able to get it to the church in one piece, or should I say altogether!
It was wonderful to attend a great wedding again. Thank you, Ritters for inviting
us! Mark and Kaitlyn, may the Lord mightily bless your marriage and may you
grow to love His Word and each other more and more everyday, and
may they be rich with His blessings! The Kellums
