Bryn's Wedding

My niece, Bryn, got married today.  As the first of the kids to do so, it was especially exciting, since she married my son, Chase's best friend, Jason.

Weddings are an amazing celebration of family.  It is one of the few times when everyone who is connected is gathered in the same place. (And all dressed up and beautiful!)

I was really proud of Chase and Bethany--and the incredible grown-ups they've become.  Beth worked tirelessly helping with floral arrangements and last minute details.  Chase gave an amazing toast to Bryn and Jason's new life together. (He was also great with the comic relief!)

I snapped a great photo of my father-in-law giving some grandfatherly advice to the new couple.

Weddings seem to highlight the passing of time, and it was fun to see the children I used to watch play out pretend adventures now having real ones.

It was a really special day.
