Wedding

It all started in Feb when Michael asked me if he could marry Lisa. He is 35 and she is 35 so were not talking about 2 naive kids here. So I said yes you can. Than he asked what does he need to know about Lisa that would help. I looked at him, though a minute, than told him if a decision is important to him make it and make it quick. Or she will make it for him. So the adventure started.
The date of the wedding was set on 9-21 in Wis. With a reception up there and one down here at our church and another in MN at Michael's old church. So the planing started and the money began to flow. In Aug Sandra went to spend a month before the wedding to bring all the planing together. And do the final planing. Lisa's brother's family came up from TX and was in the wedding. 300 people were at the wedding and 270+ were at the reception. It was a great day and a lot of fun. It went well all day. Nothing went wrong, all came off without a hitch, thanks to Sandra's and Lisa's planing. And a lot of money. But it was all worth the time and money.

Long Time

Lets see since I have last done this I have been to WI twice, last time to marry my Daughter, been to TX once and have had a lot of fun between all that.
My daughter got married on 9-21, you talk about fun that was a fun time. Me and her always did have a special relationship. On her wedding day we toke a walk and just talked and laughed had a great time. Of course it always helps if your daughter is marrying a good man. And my daughter did just that. Lisa and Micheal have been married 6 weeks and are adjusting to marriage well or at least I think so, of course I'm 700 miles from them so what do I know. When you consider that they were 35+ years old when they got married and nether one of them were ever married before, its not going bad. A lot of adjusting to do but they will do just fine.
Sandra went up the last week of August to help Lisa with the wedding plans. Came home for 10 days than went back up to help Lisa move into Micheal's house. Than she toke a plane to TX. I drove down to be with her and the kids. Had a great time with the grand kids and there parents.
That's all for now I'll talk more about the wedding in later posts. This is just a brief outline of the last several months.
