I do. I will. I promise. But first, call the police.

We attended a wedding this past weekend. Brian and Jill (our son and daughter-in-law) were members of the wedding party. Our 10 and 8 year old grandchildren Olivia and Tyler served as greeters and presented the programs to the guests for Uncle John and his absolutely stunning bride Erica. It was a wonderful event filled with fun, music, food, dancing and tears of joy.

Something that made this night especially amazing was that just last summer we joined John's friends and family in a celebration of life as he reached his one-year remission from cancer. And now, almost a year later, we celebrate the beginning of a new life!

Obviously, John has had more than his share of challenges for such a young age. Unfortunately Thursday night he had another. During the rehearsal dinner, his car window was smashed and all the gifts for the bridal party, a laptop and other items were stolen. I hope he read a previous post about the identity and document information laptops contain. Sure, this is a minor issue compared to what he's been through, but certainly something to know.

Back to the wedding ... love, happiness and a lifetime of more ups than downs (holding a glass in the air) ... to John and Erica!
