Encore: legally wed

In the coming weeks, I will be re-posting some of my favorite posts from the past six years on this blog. Yes, I have had this blog for nearly SIX years! I have revisited some of these posts lately. It is interesting to me how much life has changed. For those who are new around here, it will give you a glimpse of the journey. I am calling this series "Encore." If you'd like, you can vote on your favorites.

Best of 2007

Here is one of the nominees from June 2007. Kenyon and I had what we call "The Wedding World Tour!" It was held on two continents and in three States. RSVP cards included a check the box for the events a guest will be attending. This was the start of the tour and the first wedding ceremony. The second wedding ceremony was held in India at my favorite place on earth, including the attendance of about 1,500 people, press, a parade and so much more. If I think about it, I still can't believe it really happened to me. Crazy!

As if my life isn't crazy enough with a multitude of projects, summer school, work, not to mention the largest India trip we've ever had coming up in a few weeks...add to that chaos - a wedding.

Kenyon and I were legally wed Saturday, June 16 - exactly one year to the day of our first date. We had a small garden ceremony with only a few in attendance. The minister is a man Kenyon has adopted as his dad - Father Jones. A small reception followed at a friends home. She went all out with a three tier cake, decorations and a sparkling apple cider toast. We had friends come from Chicago and the D.C. area to celebrate with us. I wore a hair pin from China and a hot pink outfit from India. Kenyon wore the suit we picked out for him in China. We may have been in Kansas, but this was an international/multi-cultural wedding! I wouldn't have it any other way. We party, party, party from here - in India in August, in Kansas City in August and in New Mexico in September. Hope you can make it to one of the parties.
