Always Kiss Each Other Goodnight

Filed under: Congratulations

She did it. My baby sister has gone and done it. Sara went and got married! We couldn’t be happier for her and Ryan.
For some reason watching her walk down the aisle was a bit if a tear jerker for me. I am not much of a crier at weddings but watching her walk down the aisle on the arm of our father really hit home for me…all of my siblings and I are all really truly grown up now. I think it kind of scared me a little bit to be able to remember Sara at the age Abigail is now and yet see her get married at the same time. How must my parents feel if I feel this way? Do my brother and other sister feel the same way about our baby sister getting hitched? Maybe it’s just the hormones again…that’s it…we will chalk it up to pregnancy hormones!

In all seriousness it was a completely gorgeous event. The church was filled with their closest family and friends eager to share their warmest wishes with the happy couple on a chilly October day. I am also quite certain that I have never had the pleasure of seeing my sister as beautiful as she was that day, on the arm of her new husband. They make a good solid team…they really do. Sara and Ryan balance each other out in every way and you can see by watching him how much he loves my sister and how much she loves him. I should also add that Ryan fits our family to a T in all the ways that matter most. He is just so easy to love and to be around, and he doesn’t get scared off by girls crying either! For a guy who comes from a family of four brothers this is a big deal when he just married into a family with a lot of girls! Yup, we love Ryan and he can stick around for the next fifty years or so. :)
I hope they know how lucky they are. Some people wait a life time and never find the treasure that they have just found. I hope they live everyday making each other happy, even through the squabbles and the bumpy times, and that they always…always kiss each other good night.
