Finally my little brother did it, he said I do. What an absolute beautiful day Saturday turned out to be. They said their I do's at the same church that Brandon and I did five years prior.
Lila looked amazing, she was the absolute epitamy of what a bride should look like. She was beautiful, and she was calm. How refreshing to see a bride minutes before her wedding hanging out with her friends, chatting and laughing and seemingly no nerves. I was so proud of her, she had the most beautiful dress and it fit perfectly, her hair was amazing and her smile couldn't be matched. I am so excited to finally have a little sister and an absolute best friend at that.
It was a complete out of body experience to stand there and look over at my husband, our daughter and my big belly and realize how our life has turned out. Our pastor did the same ceremony as ours and I was reminded of our vows. I cried, I admit it. Complete happiness, It was beautiful to see Chloe walk down the aisle with her cousins, I was so nervous that she would take the opportunity to be on "center stage" and start laughing or singing. But to my complete surprise she calmly walked down the aisle and then stood with Brandon for about a minute and then ran to my mom to have some candy :) perfect.
My feet on the other hand were not. I knew before I even walked down the aisle that my shoes were too small, I knew that I should be wearing a more comfortable shoe but my heels were perfect and they matched great so I choose Beauty over Pain. For being 8 months prego I was pretty happy that I could still wear heels, but as I stood up at the altar I began to rethink my idea of "cute" heels. I shifted from left to right and right to left and tried to think of something other than my feet, which by the way were numb. I honestly thought that I might fall over if I tried to walk. Eric was so sweet as he began to repeat his vows, he was so choked up that the tears welled up in his eyes. I turned into a hot mess also, what a moment. Too see someone so in love with his bride and I don't normally see this side of him was such an amazing moment. I couldn't see Lila's face but I imagine that she looked like the rest of us girls, I finally had forgotten how bad my feet hurt. During their communion I looked over at B and I feel so in love all over again. How handsome he looked and honestly he hasn't changed much in five years ( hope he felt the same when looking at me :)) but we exchanged a few looks and smiles and I thanked the Lord for my family and for guiding us to lead the lives we were meant to live. I know that He will bless Eric and Lila with a full life and one of love, compassion, and an everlasting life together. I am blessed to have been able to witness this day, and I am sure that their future together is bright. xoxo
