January 21

The dishes are all washed, food is stored away, chairs are returned to their places, floor is swept, and clothes are put away.  Now, it is time to report on the day.  The girls arrived in the early afternoon to have their friend, Nadia, apply make up.  We arrived at the hospital around 3:00.  The nurses had begun to dress Judy and hide all her tubes/bags within her dress.  There were three nurses involved in styling her hair.  I will never get tire of saying the nurses on the surgery ward are world class angels of mercy.  We were all prepared for family pictures by 4:00 pm.  Morgan was looking dapper in his new suit.  The suit even looked better when he removed the price tag.  After pictures, we went to the chapel where Uncle David performed a wonderful wedding service for Morgan and Mary.  Thank you for all your prayers for Judy because she was feeling well during the service and she even felt well enough to come home for the post wedding celebration at our house.  Everyone was thrilled to see her beautiful face.  The day went as well as we could have expected.  The only glitch was: Haley was not feeling well as a result of food poisoning from something she ate yesterday.  Mary was a radiant bride.  You couldn't wipe the smile off her face.  Who says you can't organize a wedding in 5 days.  Mission accomplished.
