Noah's Wedding

On our way home from camping Ryan and I attended the wedding of our good friend, Noah Thornhill. Noah's mom Kathy, was one of the first people I met when we moved to Valdosta. We immediately became kindred spirits because of the ages of our children. Noah, Ryan and Sara graduated together so Noah spent alot of time in our home. Rebecca and Luke were a year apart, Lydia and Samuel graduated together and Emily was a year younger. Tim and Lea were Charlie's vets and Luke worked for Tim one summer. So there is much connection with our families. They are all near and dear to our hearts and I am so glad we were able to attend the wedding. It was in a beautiful little chapel on the tip top of a cliff in Greenville, South Carolina. The reception was at the Cliffs of Glassy Country Club. Ryan and I arrived around 11:30 on Sat. so our room was not available, We decided to go get some lunch in down town Greenville. We found a neat sandwich shop call Saffron's Sidewalk Cafe. We split an albi grilled tuna wrap and shrimp/grits soup. It was so good. By the time we ate lunch and shopped some our room was ready. I took a long nap while Ryan did some channel surfing. Around 3:30 we were picked up at our hotel by a huge charter bus which delivered us to the chapel. The ceremony was very sweet with Emily reading a passage from the Velveteen Rabbit. There was a harpist that played the War Eagle fight song for their departure from the chapel. The bus then delivered us to the country club for a very delicious meal. We listened to a live band and enjoyed watching everyone dancing. On the patio a man was wrapping cigars. It was a very nice wedding and it was great to share this special time with this very special family. We arrived back at our hotel around 12:30. Thanks, Ryan for driving and attending the wedding with me.
