Revision

For many of you returning to this blog, you will see changes.  The brides family has asked that all family photos of them be removed.  It has been granted.  The comment posted at the end was one such request.

As for me and my family,  we will continue to be joyful over this union because when your joy comes from the Lord, you want to share it with those you love.

Love and Peace to all,
    Trish, Proud Mother of the Groom :)

Michael and Valerie's Wedding 11/11/11

Michael and Valerie got married 11/11/11 at 11:45am in Moss Park, Orlando, FL.  We had perfect weather.  It was cool at 62 degrees, slight breeze, crisp, dry air, and sunny.  The nature was peaceful yet active.  We want to share the pictures of the occasion.  It was shared by limited extended family members.  However, we do know that many of you shared the day with us in thoughts and prayers.  They were felt as the day was beautiful.
