New Beginnings

What a magical day!

I will admit, again, that I was completely wrong about Blake, my son-in-law. In fact, I’m incredibly proud to be able to call him that. His and Alkanet’s wedding was beautiful. Alkanet looked beautiful, and so did my wife!

Doesn’t she look beautiful? I must admit, the photographer, a work-friend of Alkanet’s, did a very good job, and Marissa and I have another wonderful memory to add to our photo album. Marissa was so happy that she completely soaked her handkerchief with her tears, and I had to lend her mine! Although that turned out to be a silly idea, since I ended up needing it myself after I started leaking at the eyes too!

Marissa also made one of the best toasts I’ve ever heard, and I’m sure that, by the time she’d finished, I wasn’t the only one who was trying not to bawl like a big baby!

So they’ve headed off, the newlyweds, to Paris for their honeymoon, which should be very nice! I’ve never been to France myself, but Marissa (who went once when she was a child) said it’s very, very pretty. I’ll take her word for it!

It was a bit of a shame that Adriana and Chandler couldn’t join the twins, but they couldn’t exactly skip out on an exam, could they? Mind you, that’s exactly why Abe and Amby couldn’t stay very long. They’re Seniors now, you know!

So, I’ll say it again, I was wrong, incredibly wrong, about Blake Fairchild. He’ll take care of our Precious Alkanet, and I can’t ask for more than that. I’ll watch over them when I’m gone.

(Glad I took your advice regarding Wedding Parties, Katie, and I’m incredibly surprised that the game didn’t crash right in the middle of the party like it usually does! Even better, the party was a roof-raiser! And, you’re right about Marissa’s expression, it is pretty comical! My dad had the exact same look when I showed him my Jason Voorhees tattoo!)
