Matty Gets Married........

Last Friday, my little brother married the love of his life, Jami.  I guess you wouldn't really call him little, he is twenty-eight years old; however, to me he is still my little Matty.  The wedding was in Nassau, Bahamas at The Grand Bahamian Sandals Resort.  Needless to say, there were brides and couples everywhere I turned.  Matt and Jami were blessed to have about 45 guests all-together and though the weather wasn't ideal, the ceremony, reception and pretty much the whole occasion turned out beautifully.  I stood up as one of the bridesmaids for Jami and I had a bird's eye view into my brother's eyes as he spoke his vows to his almost bride.  That is definitely one of the memories that I will hold with me in my heart forever.  When we caught each other's eyes and he began saying those words with sincerity and deliberateness I "lost it".  The tears began to flood down my face and I made that sound you make when you know your heart really wants to burst out sobbing; however, you know that it would be not only embarrassing, but disruptive.  I am excited to see how their life unfolds and I am grateful that they had so many faithful friends who wanted nothing more than to support and affirm their marriage by coming and celebrating with us!
