I am so excited! Richard and I are in New Orleans this Sunday. We are celebrating Mardi Gras with our friends and family. Tomorrow is Lundi Gras. I will have the honor of officiating the wedding of one of my dearest friends, Faith Buchanon Collins will become Faith Buchanon Blaylock. Because of this, I will be adding to this post at a later time. Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Well, Mardi Gras was not at all what I expected. To be honest, it was probably better. We had a great time. The only downer to it all was my mother being hospitalized the whole time. Mardi Gras is one of her favorite holiday seasons.
The wedding was beautiful, as were the bride and groom. I am so honored to be a part of something so special. I absolutely adore officiating in a way I never would have dreamed imaginable. I have to admit that it was a real kick to say, “By the power vested in me by the great state of Louisiana, I now pronounce you husband and wife!” This is the second state I have officiated in and my first elopement. I can’t put into words how touched I am, to be a part of such an important event in such an important way.
I hope I will spend the rest of my life marrying, burying and baptizing. My own ministry, my own way.
