It's time for another photo laden post!   After a quick unpack and repack, we were headed off to Virginia Beach to celebrate the wedding of Ted and Dawn!   The evening nuptials took place on Saturday, March 1, at First Church of the Nazarene, with the Rev. Marlon King officiating.  Even tho' the building itself looks much different now, Mr. Man and I did reminisce about our wedding which took place in the same church 18+ years ago.  It is our prayer that God will shower Ted and Dawn with His blessings and that their love will continue to grow through the years as ours has...God is surely good!

Now on to a LOT of pictures....if you get bored, feel free to breeze through, but know that these are some very special memories for certain individuals....memories we hope will last a lifetime!

P.S.  A lot was packed into the short time we were in VaBeach, including visiting with friends Tom and Terri (thanks for everything, guys), lunch with Becky and Amber, seeing friends at church.  But the weekend wasn't over until there was some shopping for "THE" dress for yet another wedding this coming fall....thanks Jenn, for a fun day and thanks to Matthew and family for a wonderful dinner and time together!
