I spent most of this last week at my dearly-beloved sister's wedding. For many years, Crystal and I have been best friends, able to talk about everything, and vent about anything. The last several years have been a difficult roller-coaster ride for her and it was beautiful to see her join her life with a wonderful man and the love of her life. I do not lightly relinquish my post as best friend and confidant, but as I saw the pure love and joy between them, I am happy to trust my new brother-in-law with the safety and happiness of my sister.
It was a short, simple, and sweet ceremony -- a style which suited both of them perfectly.
I didn't used to understand why people cried at weddings, but as I felt tears gathering in my own eyes, I understood the true meaning of tears of joy. I kept my emotions in check but will never forget the complete and perfect happiness in my sister's eyes that day. Someday I hope to experience the same joy.
How happy she looks, I am so glad. I know just what you mean about the tears. And I am sure that you will have that blessing someday. Thanks for posting pictures! I am so glad I found your blog. I always forget to look for blogs on people's FB pages... anyway, love and miss you!
