Vows and wows…
My baby sister got married yesterday.
It was a simple wedding, just as she wanted.
Surrounded by people she loves.
Who love her.
By the sea.
In Paradise.
To her “laughing cavalier”, V. And right alongside her adorable daughter, Salina.
…
It was hot. Damned hot. Hot and sweaty.
For the few entrusted with the details leading up to any wedding (simple or otherwise) it was also hectic.
But it was, above all, quite beautiful.
I shall let Jeanie tell you most about it, because (after all) it was her wedding. Not mine.
But this I will say:
There were nerves.
There were minor jitters.
There was sunshine.
There was summer heat.
Ah, but there was also joy.
There was happiness.
There was celebration with friends and family.
My sister is happy.
My neice is happy.
That makes me very, very happy.
…
Congratulations V.
Congratulations Jeanie.
Congratulations Salina.
You are totally, absolutely, indubitably and legally a family.
Thanks for sharing the joy.
Jeanie and her V, in Paradise.
…
Over to you, little sis.

Aaaaah! Sounds a bit like our wedding – low-key, relaxed, just friends and family together having a good time. And we’ve been married for twenty-three years, so it’s all good.
All the best to your little sis and her laughing cavalier. May she and her husband have a lifetime of bliss.
Word ver: unness?
Hmm? A state of “unness” might be undying love, unbelievable happiness and mutual UNderstanding.
Jayne
Sounds wonderful!

Jayne – it was. Fabulous. Happy.
Pam – great comment. Will make sure Jeanie notes it! Your WV sounds spot on – unless its just missing the "dr" in the middle!!
Jen- absolutely right.
Elizabeth & Kate – thanks. I had to hold myself back! (And Kate – thanks for missing me!!)
M+B – I had no idea she was posting a recipe. Talk about complex!! Or perhaps doing another fend? Hmmmm.
Jeanie – sorry. Can't help but be a bossy big sister even while blogging! And you are welcome.
