I Now Pronounce You...
Honestly, how am I supposed to throw a birthday party (at my house = cleaning...yuck!), ship caterpillars all over the continental U.S., go out for yet another night out with the girls, exercise, and keep up with a blog? Aren't you impressed by my demanding life? It's tough.
Life is racing by and I can't find the time to type it all out complete with cute photos and funny quips. Not good!
Though I'm in a hurry because I must finish cleaning (so that everyone can dirty it up again at the party) and decorating (because what 10-year-old birthday party would be complete without tacky Dollar Tree decorations?), I just can't let this cute moment of life go undocumented.
I pray now for my children to be Godly spouses one day and to find people to marry who love the Lord above all else. I pray for Maddie to be a loving, submissive, quiet, gentle, respectful helper to her husband and for my boys to love the Lord above all else and love their wives as Christ loves the church. Hopefully they can see a little bit of what a Godly marriage should look like through watching me and Chris. I feel sure they can see a lot of what they shouldn't do by watching us (mainly me), too!
So, though my little ones are still fairly little (although one did just enter double digits - gasp!), I do already think about their marriages. And it seems we got a little taste of what it's like to be parents of the groom recently.
I apologize for those of you who did not receive an invitation, but it was a bit of a spur-of-the-moment wedding (not to be confused with a shotgun wedding, please) and it just wasn't feasible for everyone to attend. However, Luke did tie the knot a few weeks ago with his prissy, adorable, feisty little friend, Annabella.
and Luke was quick to ask, "Does husbands sleep with their wife-es?" To which we answered, "Well, uh..." The funny thing was they did spend the night together, but they were chaperoned by Luke's two brothers, so it was all on the up-and-up.
They like to move quick as they got married, renewed their vows, had several children, and quickly figured out the who-bosses-who-around thing all in one night.
It was a fabulous occassion. Wish you could have been there! Maybe in twenty years they'll do it for real, and if you play your cards right, you might get the invite. :)

They posed for some pictures, we had delicious imaginary cake, there was dancing...

| Is it just me or do the parents of the bride look a little worried? |
Oh no! I can't show these pictures to Katherine, she will be too upset. She thinks that SHE is going to marry Luke too! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis blog post=AMAZING and PRICELESS!!!!!!! I so love it and you are so making me look bad! I've been saying for a few years I'm going to start a blog to help document every little memory of my kiddos. Looks like you have encouraged me to start today. Oh how I will miss the sweet Vitters, what one of a kind Godly people! -Jenn Bowen
ReplyDeleteWe love this, thanks so much for the commentary. What a fun night, and that look on our face is worry because we want Annabella to be a sweet, loving submissive wife and I think she has the roles reversed. We love and miss you guys! Robert, Lara, Annabella Bond and Priscilla
