The wedding celebration was simply fantastic and I loved every moment of it. I loved catching up with old-time friends and colleagues, trying to sing along to a couple Christian hymns, and hearing Matthew and Camille make their wedding vows. I'm excited for them and looking forward to watching them grow together as a married couple.
We met Camille at a party maybe a week after her and Matthew officially started dating. I loved Camille from the moment I met her-- her warmth, personality, and overall feeling of put togetherness gave me a great feeling about her. I had told her how much I liked Matthew and I'm glad they chose to keep dating. Over the past two years we've been on two weekend trips with them (once to the Olympic Peninsula and once to Vancouver BC) and we've enjoyed having them over at our place to shower our little guy with love. They are beautiful people inside and out.
After the wedding ceremony, we all had time to chat with each other while the wedding party took photos together. Later in the night, a couple family members and best friends of the bride and groom gave speeches, they cut the cake, and the dancing began. Matthew's mom gave an incredibly heartfelt speech about raising Matthew and the prayers she had said that had made most of us tear up, especially my husband. Later in the evening (while I was up to eat more cookies), I got to meet and talk to Matthew's mom. She was super sweet and I was surprised to find out she knew me by name and stories about me. We talked a bit about Matthew and Camille, love, marriage, and I told her that I hope that someday I can give a speech like the one she gave for Matthew for Neil.
Love,
Mr. D and Mrs. M
