Weddings




What fun weddings can be and what nightmares they also can be. On August 3, my youngest son, Brad married a lovely young woman Megan. They combined their families and became a family of seven. Brad's son Meyson is 14, Brianna is 10, Cody is 6, Carson is 3, and Memphis is 1 1/2. Most of us get married with the thought that our marriage is to last forever and hope that it will. But life is so complicated today, that sometimes those good intentions get swallowed up in life and it simply is not possible.

Brad has been single for over 7 years and has been responsible singly for the care of his two children all this time, so I am delighted that he has finally found someone to love and who loves him.

The wedding was a wonderful expression of love for each other and combining of the two families. The children were the attendants and the service was small but just large enough to accomodate two pretty big families. A blended family can be a challenge but I hope that the big ones can help with the smaller kids and the smaller kids can look up to the bigger ones.
