Showers of Blessings

Just six days before the wedding, when we were running around with our to-do lists, we had a wonderful afternoon just to hang out with close friends and family who came together to wish Rebecca the best.  I was trying to be "in the moment" so I didn't take photos like I usually do.  But this one that a friend snapped turned out to be my favorite:

We took turns offering up prayers for Rebecca and Joseph and their future marriage.  We are blessed to have godly women in our lives, and Rebecca has always been one to actually listen to advice of those who are older and wiser (or "potentially wiser" anyway).

Her Aunt Ann went all out with food and decor.  Turns out her Uncle Scott did all the greenery arrangement!

My friend Melanie led us in some fun games (Rebecca loves games!), and Aunt Ann had an activity where we all shared our best marriage advice on little canvases.

It was such a fun and relaxing time together.  A shower of blessings, indeed!
