Programs

The subject of programs caused some debate. Sal was adamant that we have them, I wasn't sure I wanted to deal with the hassle. If I was going to spend the time on programs, I was going to do them right. Sal won so I created programs of which we can be proud.

I ordered a design on etsy.com. Are you seeing a pattern here?

The seller sent me a template and I customized it with our information. I am most proud of the last page which is a poem to honor Sal's parents, both of whom passed away years ago.

It’s their little boy's big day today, 
Dear Lord, please clear some room. 

They need a perfect place to see 
their son become a groom. 

Let him feel their presence 
as he waits before the aisle, 

Let him notice their absence 
for just a little while. 

When he stops and thinks of them, 
in a heartfelt way,

let him know that if they could, 
they would be with us today. 

Dear Lord, please clear a spot for them; 
they should have the perfect view. 

I was thrilled with how they turned out, and I hope our photographer got a couple pictures. The photo above is the image from the seller's storefront.
