It Was a Beautiful Wedding!

Saturday was a beautiful day!  The perfect day for a wedding!  And the wedding was beautiful, too!  Some of our relatives from Canada came down for the wedding, and it was wonderful to all get together and catch up on each other's lives.  Cheryle made a beautiful bride and my nephew Bill a handsome groom.  The unusual thing about this wedding was that the wedding party colors were black and white.  I had never seen a wedding where the maids of honor and the mothers and grandparents of the bride and groom were dressed in black, but it was very beautiful!  Many of the guests wore black, too, knowing the wedding party's colors.  I have to say that I was a little skeptical at first, but it turned out to be really elegant and beautiful.   

On a knitting note, I have begun the first Christmas knitting project of 2005!  I am knitting a poncho for baby Kayla, seen in one of the photos above.  I am using a free pattern from Lion Brand Yarns.  The yarn in the pattern is no longer available, but I am using Bernat Breeze in the color Summer Breeze.  I am going to depart a bit from the pattern and add a row of lavender fun fur around the hood and the bottom of the poncho.   I used this same Bernat Breeze yarn in Violet Crush last year for Megan's poncho.
