Beth's Wedding

Congratulations Beth and Nathan

09.09.2006 - 09.09.2006

I thought it would be nice, but really, it was amazing.

And almost everyone that they would have wanted there, was. Nana, all the aunts and uncles and cousins, and a few more from Australia. And all Nathan's family, and his workmates. His old boss was small, looked like he was wearing a toupe, and was outrageously drunk, hitting on women all over the place. Everyone else was pretty well behaved. And emotional.

Beth was beautiful, reserved and fun. And it was Beth who was supportive of everyone who was overcome with emotion - there were so many! I still get choked up when I recall Beth and Nathan making their vows, seeing Nathan's tears fall and Beth touch them away, or Dad's red, shiny eyes at the end of the ceremony. It made me so happy.

That was the most meaningful part of the day for me, watching Dad, and seeing him deliver his speech... my own tears fall as I type, it was just so incredible and touching.

But Beth seems a more comfortable person than I have known her to be. I am just so happy for her. Tears again. I love to see how Nathan adores her, and I love watching her melt into it.
