The Wedding

It was a beautiful celebration of Adam and Maja's love and commitment to a life together, and a fusion of two families who love them both. It was personally an emotional experience for Earl and myself, seeing our only son, and last one getting married. During the tears, and lumps in our throats, I saw Jonnie nudge Aidan, and heard him say, "Look at Grandpa, he's crying!"
With temps @ 107 degrees, yes, it was hot, but it didn't seem to matter during the Mass, and exchanging of vows, and rings, and pledges of love. Even little Luci was an angel, and I was very proud of my son. He won't have an easy road to travel for awhile, going to college, working full time, and moving in with the In-laws, and caring for his family, but pursuing his dreams will help him get through in all. I love Maja, and am so happy to have her part of this crazy female-dominate group.
And then the fun began @ the reception. Our crazy dance loving family dominated the floor most of the night. We can't help it, we all just love to dance, and enjoy the music. Maja's brother, Peter, did a great job, playing his guitar, and singing for the wedding couple's first dance. I loved the song I danced with Adam, Josh Groban's "You raised Me Up". And Jonnie's slow dance with his Grandma was so special. It was over too soon.
The next day, we had to pack up and leave early to head back home.
