Wedding Fun

I've always heard people say how time starts to move quickly after you get married...and especially after you have children. Last weekend, Michael and I felt the speed of the time that has passed since we were married almost six years ago when we attended the wedding of one of his former students, Ryan Cave. I've known Ryan since he was in elementary or middle school as he attended HCA with my baby sister, and then he went on to be one of my husband's star students and athletes at FACA in Worcester. Ryan (along with fellow classmate Zach) stood up with us when we said our vows six years ago, and this past weekend, Mike and I joined his family and friends as he exchanged vows and became a married man. So strange to see people grow up and become their own persons, isn't it? It's fascinating, and a priveledge, to be able to watch this happen. The wedding was in Lynchburg, Virginia at a lovely estate, and despite the rain, was an absolutely wonderfully intimate time of love and celebration. We were able to reconnect not only with Ryan and Zach, but with other of his former students and parents from FACA.

We're looking forward to spending time with Ryan and his new bride, Samantha. Weddings are an impossibly difficult time to get to know someone new, especially when it's tbe bride!, but Samantha seems like a woman full of integrity, spunk, class and good humour. They'll be settling in Maryland as Ryan is Secret Service and is stationed at the White House right now. (Can anyone say...free inside tour?!) We were absolutely honored to be included in their special day.
