emmy wore white

the party is over.  after my nephew's wonderful baby blessing this afternoon, everyone hung out for some lunch and then slowly the crowd dissipated, leaving just me and baby girl and my parents.  it was a very quiet evening.  mother is so relieved that everything is over and i'm so overwhelmed with how well everything went!

this weekend has been seriously sensational.  i can't remember the last time i had so much fun at a wedding.  maybe not ever.  although i am just over the moon excited for my dear sister, emmy.  i've dreamed and longed for her husband/wedding/fairy tale ending [beginning] far more than i ever did for my own.  there's a special sweetness that comes when you want and pray for something so diligently and for so long and then... it happens!  she's one of those people that is so truely magnificent that i would sing her praises even if i wasn't related to her.  she's gorgeous and talented and agreeable and everything else that is good.  she's always been the golden child of our family and i say that with no bitterness from the rest of us.  it's all been agreed upon.  she's so amazing that i have to admit i was worried that her equal didn't even exist.  the pickings get slimmer as the years go by, y'know.  sooo, i am so grateful for my emmy and that she met her match and had a beautiful day that she so deserved.

i can't wait for her to experience all of the beautiful days to come.
