At the reception, they had their first dance to "At Last Love."
(I was so nervous about the dress that Rachel chose to have custom made. Bias cut ivory silk...isn't that the hardest thing to sew right? It turned out exactly as she had dreamed it would. The back details were gorgeous, the neckline showed off Jeff's wedding gift to her perfectly, a strand of pearls and matching diamond and pearl earrings. Lucky girl....)
And yes...I did wear the navy HIGH heel slingbacks for the wedding. I was a bit wobbly going down the aisle, but I held on tightly to my son and we made it just fine, chatting happily the whole way. I told him I had waited my whole life for this day...
A simple cake, with berries the colors of the wedding for decoration. They fed each other gently and tenderly, much to my satisfaction.
Table One...for the wedding party!
Our family: left to right: My mom and dad, Bernie, Jeff, Bernie's dad and mom. Jeff was so blessed to have both sets of grandparents in attendance on his wedding day.
They are inspirations...my folks married over sixty years, and B.'s parents married 56 years.

This is the sweetest post, Jill! The wedding looks like it was wonderful and the wedding couple look so very happy! Smile...
Jill...you were a lovely Mother of the groom. Your suit was smashing on you ....and the shoes....perfect! It looked like you were all enjoying the time together. I'm sure you will embrace your new daughter in law with love, and will enjoy many good times together as a family. Congratulations! Kathy
What a lovely day, and you look fab in your navy spiked heels. I really like the bride's dress and also the splash of fuchsia/red she added to her wedding colors.
