There she is, lower right. Pretty even at ten or so. |
She was married before, and I missed those other two weddings too. The first one was when she was very young and in the military. I saw pictures and she was a beautiful bride, but I wasn't lucky enough to be there.
The second time she got married she was also in the military. She was stationed in Germany for a while. I was home with two little kids and didn't do much traveling, and I don't know if I knew she got married at that time or not. Regardless, I didn't go.
This time she's having a small, casual ceremony, and I'm sure she will have many friends and well-wishers who will either attend or wish her well after.

It's something you always think about -- your sister's wedding. She's my only sister if you don't count my sewing sisters and the sisters of my heart. She was in my wedding - the prettiest bridesmaid I had. I made her dress. Lime green sateen - it was the 70's after all!
NOT my wedding pictures!! |
I love weddings. Doesn't matter whose, you know. I always cry. The ceremonies are always beautiful and hopeful. Two people pledging to stay together forever, through thick and thin, good and bad. So positive it will work out. I even cry at weddings on TV, make believe weddings in movies, all that jazz.
I'm crying just looking at this photo. |
Saturday I'll have to set aside a little time to think about Gail and Mickie, wish them well, cry a little and be hopeful.
Sew on...
