I have a new sister-in-law!! My second-oldest brother Jonathan, had the privilege of marrying the wonderful Sherry today. They are the happiest people in the world:
Here are my oldest brother David and me. Look how tall:
Yes, I caught the bouquet, but only because Sherry threw it right at me. Or I was the most desperate.
One of the most memorable parts of the evening was when Jon, the groom!!, asked me to dance, even though I am his pesky little sister. We did a one-two-cha-cha-cha number. Jon has taken many ballroom dance classes and has even competed—as has Sherry. So…we didn’t look as good as they did, but I think we had fun:
I danced with other handsome men too (including Charles, the third-oldest brother), but because I danced with the groom I feel extra special.
Me with my three brothers, new sister-in-law, and future sister-in-law [in exactly six months]:
Sherry changed into this other white dress for the dancing. It was flowy and sashay-y. She has great taste. I plan to do the same kind of thing for easier dancing at my own reception…someday.
I cried at the ceremony. I think what got me was “as long as we both shall live.” Sherry and Jonathan will be together for the rest of their lives. They will never forget this day. He will remember feasting his eyes on her beauty and knowing that the image will be forever seared in his memory. They waltzed together and were simply stunning. I do pray that they will be together no matter what trials they face. They have a deep love, and crying at the sight of that is a good thing.
LOVE your dress! After looking at the first pic on here I thought about how unfair it is that men, once they reach their adult height, can wear the same tux forever almost. And then I saw your pretty-ness and was reminded that although we women have to purchase new dresses, we also get to pick out new ones all the time

Looks like you had fun at the wedding. It is special when one of your siblings gets married!
