| The family after the service with Father Paul |
Katie once told me that when her parents first got married they actually did the ceremony three different times. I can certainly understand how they could operate under the theory that if celebrating your wedding once is great then celebrating it three times must be incredible. Feeling a little inadequate in comparison, Katie and I until yesterday had only celebrated our wedding once. As many of you know we decided last fall to settle on one church so we could raise Arianna going to the same place every Sunday. We settled on the Catholic church and last month Arianna was baptised in the church.
Yesterday we took the next step in confirming that decision and since we hadnt been married in the church, had our marriage blessed by the church. This involved literally going through another wedding service including vows, rings and all. My brother Kevin who was one of my best men at the first wedding was on hand to again act in that capacity and his wife Kristy (Arianna's Godmother) did one of the readings. It was a great way for us to renew our original vows and once again recommit to each other (even if the church viewed it as our original commitment). Kevin and family are here for a couple more days and we are enjoying playing tourist with them.
