As promised, members of the 2008-2009 North Carolina Teacher of the Year Team showed up to celebrate the marriage of Kelly and Jason in Salisbury on Saturday. Kelly is the daughter of Janice Raper, Northwest Regional Teacher of the Year (and a beautiful "Mother of the Bride.") Trisha Muse, Bernard Waugh (and his lovely wife Kristen) and I (along with my daughter, Kelli) joined the festivities at St. John's Lutheran Church in historic Salisbury, N.C. The wedding was beautiful, and I got extremely choked up when I saw the tears in the groom's eyes when the bride began down the aisle on the arm of her dad, Janice's handsome husband Ronald. What a fabulous reception! My daughter was especially partial to the macaroni and cheese (that went along with the good ol' Southern barbeque!) Many enjoyed the Lebanese cuisine, too, a tribute to the groom's heritage. We, as the NC Teacher of the Year Team, are grateful for the new friendships we have made and are happy to be able to share some of our most important moments with each other!
