Da Dum Dee Dum, Da Dum Dee Dum....
Or however the Wedding March seems to go in your head. That's how it goes in mine. So my lil Sista is getting hitched! She will be doing a very small ceremony at the Lower Falls O'Niagra for immediate family. And a nice big reception/BBQ next summer for everyone else.
I am the Matron of Honor. Oooh, the chills. There's something about Matron that makes me think "blue hair." Is it just me ladies? But I am sooo excited. And its not too fancy, so I can pick out my own attire and not be stressed. The most wonderful thing about all of this is that Jen and Ben will be married. They have their house, their doggie, their kitty....and plenty of time to put up with people asking them when they will have a baby!
So here's my advice to them on that one. Kids are great. And they will be the greatest challenge of your lives, and undoubtedly the greatest source of joy you may ever know. They are also a lifetime commitment. So, if you would like to do some traveling...say Europe or the like. Maybe wait a few years. Give yourself some time with your husband first. But then, you can always bring that baby to Aunt Jo's too.
Enjoy your time as Newlyweds....It doesnt last forever. Things move faster these days. Enjoy each other. Make time for one another and communicate. This time is precious, and you always smile when you look back and think about it. Always.
I am so proud of my sister. She is a dynamo. Jennifer lives life with purpose and direction I wish I had. She's brilliant, reserved and motivated to be the best she can be. She's overcome adversity and life threatening illnesses. There is nothing that she cannot do. There are many people in my life that I consider my Heroes. I use heroic as an attribute to describe my sister, because I believe that we have yet to see her very best.....and it may knock our socks off when we do.
So I extend Best Wishes to Jennifer and Ben. Ben, you are a very lucky guy. I am glad my sister has been blessed to have found a kind, caring good man like yourself. Welcome to our Dysfunctional Family.
Wedding is September 27th. I will update with photos afterwards.
