As I'm writing this the church bells by my home are ringing and since it's 5:18 p.m., I'm assuming it's because someone just got married. How appropriate since at this very minute, somewhere in Nantucket, Mass. I'm sure that my brother-in-law is newly married himself. Today is the big day and it's been on all our minds. We received one photo of the bride-to-be with rollers in her hair but other than that, we've been completely in the dark about the days events.It leads me to think of my own wedding day and what it was like. There were no nerves. We had been together for 5 years and I knew he was the one for me after we dated for a couple of weeks. While our ceremony was short, it was special because we were married by my husband's uncle (and godfather).
I know my brother-in-law is really in love. He is doing things I never imagined he would ever do. And it goes both ways. I'm sure a year ago she never envisioned that she would be making cupcakes decorated with the Brewers logo for opening day.
So as the bells wind down I'm imagining their first toast as husband and wife. And as Uncle Luke would say, "Happy Days. Happy Days."
awwww! thanks for thinking of us mary! it was a wonderful day and after the rollers came off, it was a mad dash to meet the photographer and get dressed! you were all on our minds and we will have lots more photos (4-hours worth!!!) to share soon. we are on a happy high and it feels great. it feels wonderful being mrs. phillips!
