Wedding Day

Its funny that we talk about the wedding day. The "wedding" part of it is so short. The day part of it is getting ready and going then getting ready for the next part and taking pictures and cleaning up and getting ready for the next part. So I'm afraid my details of this day are not very exciting.

The sealing itself was wonderful. It was the most laugh-ful sealing I've ever witnessed but it was a good thing. And while the sealer kept a straight face and reverent attitude, he was pretty funny. :)

As I think of love, I think of this experience from a few weeks ago when Brooklyn admitted she loved Benson. He did something nice for her, traded seats or bags of chips or something she wanted. I complimented him and expressed my pleasure to him and Brooklyn. As Benson continued on his way, I whispered to Brooklyn "I think he likes you." She whispered back, "I like him too," then added a little shyly, "I love him!" As I confirmed the feeling she got all excited and squealed a bit like something super exciting was happening. And I think it was. It is an exciting thing just to love someone and be loved in return - even if it is your brother.

That was something that I witnessed at Kevin and Savannah's wedding. They were just so happy to be able to love each other. Another good thing to remember.

The details of the rest of the day are not worth delving into and I don't want to embarrass any of my children so I'll just say - it wasn't Truman that pooped on the side of the hotel pool ... You'll have to ask Matt more about that one.

The reception was lovely and fun. Unfortunately we had to leave early to make our plane. It was so nice to be with family though. We really do have awesome families and we miss them so much!

And the kids slept on the plane ride home (in the middle of the night) so maybe we'll have the courage to travel to see them again!
