The day after Relay for Life was my Uncle Brad's wedding. Brad is Linda's husband for those who can't keep track of all the crazy players in this saga we call life. It has been over two years since Linda's death and I have hoped that Brad would re-marry for his own happiness and for the happiness of his kids and the time came. I can't lie and say that the event was without emotions- and for everyone in our family the emotions seemed to be coming from different places- but we are really thrilled and excited for Brad and his new wife Holly.
I was a bit emotional at the wedding just because I was missing Linda. Everything is a reminder that she is not here and that it is "final" (though you would think that I still wouldn't have to remind myself sometimes that she is gone, but I still do). Brad's new wife is also a widow- her husband passed away about a year ago from cancer, leaving her and 5 children behind. How about an instant family of 9 kids?! Pretty awesome. We are praying for them all during this transition time. I am genuinely happy for them to have found each other and I am excited to get to know Holly and her kids further.
Now, without further ado, a random assortment of pictures that I got from the big event.
 |
| This is not from the event- but I realized that none of the pictures I took of the wedding actually show their faces, so here is their engagement picture. |
 |
| A trip to Brigham City (where they got married) would not be complete without a trip to Maddox! Yum!) |
 |
 |
| Holly's friends were kind enough to let them have the wedding in their backyard. It was gorgeous. The whole thing was decorated so cute. |
 |
| These two... |
 |
| Nice face there Dev |
 |
| Actually being nice to each other for two seconds. It's a miracle! |
 |
| Here they come! |
 |
| We were seated in the very very back, thus the not-so-great pictures. |
 |
| Devin hauling around Jace's Mickey in his pocket since Jace can't go anywhere without the thing. |
 |
| This grandma of mine. Quite possibly my favorite person in the whole world. |
 |
| Just cute. |
 |
| The sun caused some serious shadows here, but proof that we all made it! And in one piece after not sleeping at all the night before. Yeah. I am using that as the excuse for why I look rough. |
 |
| Fun treat table. |
 |
| And this actually happened on the way home-- which never happens! |
