Son-in-law joins the family!
WOW... that really makes me feel old... I now have a son-in-law!!!
I got my oldest daughter married off to a fine young man this past Friday evening down in Nashville TN. The wedding was beautiful. My new son-in-law is a Major in the Marines and 7 of the 8 groomsmen are Majors or Colonels in the either the Marines or Navy. They all wore their dress uniforms and looked brilliant. My daughter looked like a princess in her wedding dress and Scarritt-Bennett proved to be a wonderful location for the wedding. I had never seen a "sword arch" in person before and was quite impressed as my daughter and son-in-law emerged through it.
I was able to hold it all together until the "daddy-daughter" dance at the reception held atop the Sheraton in downtown Nashville. They played "Butterfly Kisses" and I lost it like a blubbering fool. Oh well... at least I made it that far.
On the down side. My new son-in-law is training to fly the Cobra hellicopter and has to be back in California today to continue his training. Then he is supposed to head out to Iraq in September or October for 6 months. Not the best of situations in which to start a marriage... but life doesn't work out the way we want it to sometimes.
Anyway... I'm quite proud of my daughter and my new son-in-law... my wife and I think he's a wonderful addition to our family.
While I'm at it... thanks to all of you that have served or are currently serving in our armed forces! The sacrifice you make for the rest of us is greatly appreciated!
