The wedding went off without a hitch yesterday. It was so beautiful and moving. You guys have to understand, with all the things my brother has been thru in the past, we never thought he would take the plunge. I thought my mother was going to collapse before things even got underway. The wedding was a mixture of our traditions and hers (she is from Holland), one of which was my brother and his wife were picked up by her parents and driven to the wedding, then brother and his wife walked down the aisle together. As they started down the aisle, my mother broke into a cry that I had never heard before and she was shaking so bad, I thought she was going to fall. I reached up and held her shoulder to help comfort her. My grandfather was there also. He will be 91 on April 15th, he was so thin and looked so frail. Made me wish I lived closer so I could spend more time with him. He always used to be such a strong and solid person. When I hugged him, it was all bones.  Of course I forgot my camara, thankfully dad, my sister and SIL had digitals and dad d/l them to his computer before I came home and burned me a disc. I was asked to be a witness, they had a very small wedding and no maid of honor or bestman. So her sister and myself were the witness. It was a very long day, we left Indy around 10am and got home around 9:30pm. My sister rode with me as both our hubbies "don't do weddings". I guess we were lucky we got them at their own. LilGH was such a good kid all day. He did however have to much of something to eat and threwup while at the reception. We got him all cleaned up and off he went like nothing had happened. |
I had no problem with it at all. THis meant I could stay longer and enjoy visiting my family more. It worked out well for both of us!

Hmmm... sounds like you may poses more wisdom than I.

Lemme clarify here. My family gets together WAY too much even for me, but the two biggies are Thanksgving and Christmas. I expect QS to go to one event or the other, but he doesn't have to go to both. It used to be that he was miserable there and I would end up mad because he would sit there like a angry little troll or something. I realized he was miserable and then I was miserable so we finally agreed to compromise. It took us a while to get there, but I think it shows what marriage is all about and it makes us both semi-happy. |

Trust me it worked out for the better I dont do well with crowds and dont do well with inlaws and Inlaws in Crowds Really is a friggen problem!! Needless to say MrsG is a great woman Who lets me live my life within reasonable bounds the way I see fit. She is truly a Gem and (in my opinion) a Rarity among her Gender. I truly am a lucky man. Now get your ass in the Kitchen woman!!!
