Wedding

Oh, how fun it was to go to Diane's daugher's wedding in Wimberly, Texas.  Ann, Moira, and I left Houston around 10:30 but didn't get to the other side of Katy until after 12:00 due to construction!  We should've been half-way there by that time--UGH!  Oh well, we made the most of it by catching up and hearing all about our summers.  Once we got to Buckees we made a pit-stop, before continuing on.  We got back on I10 West but were so busy chatting that I didn't pay attention to the GPS telling me to exit until I heard "recalculating"  Oh well, we took the next exit and turned around, heading towards New Braunfalls where our hotel was.  Once we got to our hotel, it was a little before 3:00 but the sign said check-in at 3:00 so we were in good shape--or so we thought!  Nope, neither of our rooms were ready so we couldn't check-in and get dressed for the wedding.  No worries, we got the name of a good restraunt to check-out while our rooms were getting ready.  Either we weren't paying close enough to his directions or his directions were wrong, but by 3:30 we were no where near any restraunt, but it was beautiful country we were viewing!  We decided to proceed to Wimberly and find a place there to eat and change.  Plugged the address into the GPS and we were off!  Found a pizza place for lunch and decided the restrooms would work to change.  As we left we told the waitress/manager that we were going to use the restroom to change for a wedding.  She said she had a "hot tub room out back" that we could change into.  We took her up on the offer and did speed changing before heading to Old Glory Ranch.  GPS was very accurate but the traveling was quite an adventure with 1-lane roads, inner tubes with ladies who shouldn't be wearing a bikini floating by, and people standing in the road so we couldn't easily pass.  We continued up a winding road to the top of a hill where we found Old Glory.  We parked the van in the back 40 and then rode in a golf court to the chapel.  We saw Diane right away and she was absolutely STUNNING! 

During the ceremony it was so exciting to see the bride and groom just constantly beaming at each other.  They were both so happy!  I can only hope our children find that same love--although several years from now!!!
