The wedding was great. We had such a blast visiting with my family and meeting the bride's family. They were a bit odd (I think they thought the same of us ... but then I think I already told you WE ARE!!!) and it was utter chaos from Friday until Saturday after the wedding, but all in all I think the marriage was a success. Some highlights of the weekend are:
- STARBUCKS COFFEE!!!!
- Watching my cousin act "normal" around his bride to be the night of the rehearsal dinner
- Playing with the baby racoon my aunt found and saved from being hit by a car - I got to feed it and hold it for hours. What F*U*N!
- Hanging out with my family the day before the wedding
- Seeing all the brothers line up as the "best men" - boy were they handsome!!
- Looking over at my aunt and seeing tears of happiness in her eyes
- When Trevor told me I looked beautiful
- Visiting old haunts (I grew up in Northern VA)
- Bittersweet feelings of missing family members who have passed away and would have been so happy to see Mike get married - I have to believe they were up there smiling as Mike said his vows
- Dancing with reckless abandon to the goofy music the DJ played at the reception
- Watching my mom and dad dance a slow dance
- Dancing a slow dance with Trevor
- Seeing my aunt from California for the first time in about 6 years
- Sitting back and just taking in everyone and everything around me - taking mental snapshots to reflect on in the future
- Laughing with my mom and my aunt
- Meeting a couple that has been married for 60 Years!
- Loving and being loved by my family
I hope everyone had an awesome weekend, although I am glad to be home. I was beginning to miss my little friends back home and was anxious to make sure they were okay.
Ciao~
