It was such a wonderful day when my family joined together with Ellaine's, and an only child got her very first brothers. Yesterday, we got to experience the joy of finally having a sister: Grant married his beautiful bride on an equally beautiful Colorado day.We showed up to The Barn at Raccoon Creek and were met with a wide open area, which would serve as the aisle Megan would eventually walk down to share her vows with Grant. After some pictures and horsing around, it was time for the big moment. Megan looked radiant in her dress and Grant was positively beaming. Luckily enough for me, I was provided a handkerchief prior to the ceremony, because Grant's vows brought me to tears.
We followed the ceremony with a cocktail hour and catching up with friends and family alike that we have not seen in far too long. Dinner had a "home-cooked feel" with a mac and cheese bar and mashed potato bar.
We all pulled out our handkerchiefs again as we went though the toasts (I was about as nervous as karaoke night to deliver mine). But this would be the last of the tears for the night as we launched into dancing, more catching up, and general jubilation.
It was a great night, and brought back many fond memories of our own special day. We love you Grant. We love you Megan. We are so lucky to finally have a sister, and we are so happy with the one we got. We wish you both many happy years to come.
