Here is the happy couple and I mean truly happy couple. Since these two have started dating there has been a significant change in our son. He has become a man that has a purpose and it isn’t himself. He has become a man that thinks about the consequences of his actions. He has become a man that not only looks like his father but is taking on more and more of his fathers good qualities of caring deeply and loving freely. He is a man that is making both sets of parents very happy.

Highlights of the weekend:

Friday - Rehearsal:
Katelynn the bride’s daughter fell off on a playground on Thursday and fractured her arm. Try keeping a six year old from running around while the adults are decorating and setting stuff up. Being an outdoor wedding and lots of work to do to get set up, we had the rehearsal dinner on site and grilled steaks and shrimp for all.

Saturday – Wedding Day:

All along we had been praying that it would not rain during the wedding or the reception. So of course 45 minutes before the wedding it rains and not just a little. 15 minutes before the wedding is to start and just after we get tent up over where everyone is to sit the rain stops. We left the tents up.

Our son is standing off to the side behind some trees to keep from seeing his bride. The crowd is seated; all of the parents are seated in the front row. There we are the grooms step dad, the mom, the dad, and me the step mom. I look over and see our son looking like he would hyperventilate. I lean over to his mom and ask her what she thinks he would do if we all stood up and waved. She said lets do it and counted to three. Up we went; the crowd behind us laughed and he got this great big smile on his face and relaxed.

The wedding went off without a hitch and the roast pig was done to perfection.

For all of the planning, all of the preparation, all of the running around, at the end of the day all that mattered was that Kyle Lee and Crystal were married.
