Jake and Karal graced Mount Pleasant for the day, and they were in good graces when I checked on them between the church and the reception, even with the guilty stares when I left to return. The day was a break in their usual routines, but both were on their best behaviors.
I retired early from the event early, however, exhausted from the week and non-stop responsibilities, even as I knew the evening was just getting started. Family members filled the dance floor ready for polka, a wedding fiesta, and celebratory triumph of the day....a beautiful couple with wonderful families. I knew I wasn't going to be able to dance, so slipped out while I could.When I got home, I took the dogs for a 10 p.m. walk and gave them treats to award them for being great while left alone all day. Jake was a little confused, as he thought I was going to return him to his mayoral duties on Walnut Beach, but mommy needed to have an evening as the mother-of-the-bride with friends, family, and new acquaintances.
St. Michael's Church in Derby is stunning - one of the most beautiful churches I've ever been inside. The art work and storytelling was everywhere, alluding to a religious history that is foreign to me.
I'm thrilled that the two, Dominik and Kaitlyn, found one another and that the joining of named and rings was such a tremendous occasion.
Here's to both. I wish them nothing but the best. This is for the two of them (all apologies if I messed up the Latin and Polish languages)
