Wedding Wednesday: The Final Edition
Welcome to the final Wedding Wednesday!
Today I have gathered up some of my favorite shots from the engagement photos, the rehearsal, the wedding, the reception, and the Manteo photo shoot and put them all in one big display. Nothing like going out with a bang, right? (If you want to see a certain picture full size, just double click on it.)

Let me give you fair warning. I’m still not feeling real well, still not thinking real clearly, and am still meandering back and forth between napping and half-awaking all day. So if you read something that doesn’t make sense or if I go meandering off into the Land of Nonsensicalness, you’ll understand why.
And to make matters even more “fun,” my computer is still doing weird things and will probably need professional attention; also, my beloved Nikon is non functioning and will have to be sent in for repairs.
Sickellaneous
Sorry there have been no posts for several days; I’ve been in bed sick.
Today was supposed to be the day to post the photos you sent featuring the places you live, but I haven’t been able to muster quite enough energy to get it all together. Those pictures will be coming soon, though, along with all sorts of other good Smithellaneous stuff!
Thanks for your patience; now it’s back to bed I go.

Our mystery guests have arrived from Florida!
Rev. Frank and Sheri Hawley are not only our dear friends but also the parents of our wonderful daughter-in- law, Meagan. (Unfortunately, their arrival at the Norfolk airport did not coincide with the arrival of one of their two suitcases carrying most of their clothes and toiletries. Yikes. )
Since we will be leaving in a few moments for a marriage retreat that they are speaking at, I am pulling out a favorite post from the archives to share today. It’s especially fun to read this in light of the fact that the particular boyfriend and girlfriend mentioned in this story really did get married!

Last week’s edition of Wedding Wednesday had us at Jennettes Pier which is where we’ll pick up again this week.
After we had meandered around in the December chill for about a half hour (snapping pictures all the while), we finally decided it was time to call it a day.
As Nathan and Meagan headed back toward the gift shop leading out to the parking lot, I ran along behind them like the rabid mamarazzi that I am.

I realize that Valentine’s Day is supposed to be all about romance but I’m glad that it’s a holiday where chocolate can also be legally slid into the mix. If you’ve been hanging around this blog for any time at all, you know that I am a big time chocolate lover, as are many of my readers.
With that in mind, Sue G, a cyber friend and commenter par excellence sent me some interesting facts about chocolate.

Last week was a wild one.
On Sunday morning, we arrived at our 8:15 am worship team rehearsal to discover that the mixing board for our P.A. system was emitting a not-so-inspiring burning smell.
How many of you know that when an electronics item smells like it’s been smoking Marlboro’s, it’s not a good thing?
