The Bride Wore Green

We left Petra early this morning, and drove to Madaba where there is this beautiful mosaic map of the holy land back from the Byzantine era. Simply beautiful. So much work and it has lasted. But the real reason for our entire trip was the wedding! We are between the church ceremony and reception.

Things started at the bride's home, with champagne toasts and pistachio treats. The bride was stunning in her beautiful dress. It was white with a sheer green overlay design of the same flowers as in her bouquet. The brides' sister was her maid of honor along with four flower girls and boys. The handsome groom waited in the front with a huge smile on his face alongside his best man (friend from home). Everyone looked so happy, especially the mothers of the bride and groom. I was one row back and saw them clearing their tears as they were pronouced man and wife. I am so happy for both of them as they are two kind hearted people who deserve only the very best!
