We had a simple wedding, with a lovely service and meaningful prayers. Our close friends and family were there. And so were 7 priests :)My hubby locked that I can not apply for an annulment after that :). I had my nails done first time in my life. And I loved looking at them; my hair and make up were done professionally. So... after a moment of thinking, boy, I really do not fit in with these ladies, I have caught myself claiming my role and my "difference". As world is full of unique people and stories, so are we in our ministry. Having nice dress, make up and even a manicure, doesn't make me, or any one else, any less worthy of being engaged in the church ministry. Oh, and I am getting a manicure in a week - special occasion, and I can't wait :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-89025679025303123822015-10-31T21:37:26.963-05:002015-10-31T21:37:26.963-05:00So honest and inspiring.

I didn't wear any ...Poverty is indeed relative. I didn't wear any make-up at my wedding, because my husband hates makeup (and the smell of most cosmetic products - this was in the 80's - made me nauseous). And I would have rolled my eyes at a manicure or nail polish - it just wasn't me. Anyway, it turned out that I didn't have time to really doll up. The out-of-town priest who was witnessing our vows, rushed into my parents' home the morning of the wedding saying that me and my fiance needed to go with him to rectory right now to finish paperwork that he had forgotten to send in or the wedding could not take place! By the time I got back to the house, everyone else in the wedding party had left for the church and I had to quickly slip into my wedding gown (which I made) and plop on my veil. My husband grabbed my hand and we dashed out to the waiting car. That's probably characterized the last 28 years of our marriage!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-55204187902527447062015-10-26T23:10:40.471-05:002015-10-26T23:10:40.471-05:00beautiful!beautiful!kh. jenhttp://grace-filled.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-18543631000632593052015-10-26T20:34:46.334-05:002015-10-26T20:34:46.334-05:00Beautiful reflection :)Beautiful reflection :)(Tasoni)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10830249793442396113noreply@blogger.com
