My youngest daughter and her sweetheart got married Thursday at a justice of the peace as she wanted, with just her son and his girlfriend present. After that, they had a simple photo taken and went golfing with her son, his girlfriend and her brother. (I believe she and the girlfriend drove the cart and ate french fries.).
They returned home to casual dinner party with close friends. The party was to celebrate my new son-in-law’s birthday, which was also yesterday. I had the pleasure of attending, and brought champagne for a toast to their marriage which was from both me and her dad.
They are moving to DC to a house with my son and another close friend next month. I’ve made peace with it and I trust it’s for the best.
They plan to have a formal wedding gathering back up north next year, as the groom wants.
My daughter and her new husband are the best of friends, have lived together for several years, and they know how to sort things out and let each other be.
Everyone loves this gentle smiling man – from her son to her brother to her older sister and her nephews, her dad and …and especially the bride.
This was not her first marriage. She was very young before and it was a rough road to recover from.
My soul is delighted at this sweet alliance.
