Probably the most frequently heard comment following Sarah and Andy’s wedding was that it certainly reflected Sarah’s tastes. She wore an exquisite dress and stylish hairstyle reminiscent of the 30’s and 40’s, used Rhapsody in Blue as the processional and had a male friend as one of her attendants. Andy’s friend, Ana, was one of the groom’s attendants. Yet, it was obvious that tradition was important to them, also. They were married at Cove United Methodist Church with a traditional service and surrounded by family and friends.
The wedding cake was an interesting juxtaposition of new and old. Sarah and Andy choose an unconventional cake design, but incorporated the family tradition of using a silver tray that has been part of all family weddings since my great-grandparents were married in 1893. (My wedding cake was on it and it was part of Rob and Dan’s weddings, also.)
From my perspective family was an important part of this wedding. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins came from near and far to be a part of this celebration and to offer blessings on this day. May this serve as a foundation of love and nurture for the marriage of Sarah and Andy.

i hope the cake tastes as good as it looked! Marriages are as unique as the peopel in them, and I am delighted that Sarah and Andy were able to weave their identities into the traditional service.
