Honk for the Lovebirds

December 11, 2021 is a very special date for my brother and his girl, Natasha. It was their wedding day. The day they vowed never to leave each other for as long as they both shall live. Another addition to our big happy family!

What a flurry of excitement we were all in as we rushed around doing a last-minute touch here and there. They had a small wedding, but even then, it is a lot of work. Steaming dresses, fixing hair, we were busy.

The time soon came to stand in line in preparation to walk down the aisle to stand up for my sister-in-law-to-be, Natasha.  All four of my brothers looked sharp in their charcoal tuxedos.  Before my sister gave the cue to walk out, I turned around and saw the bride, Natasha, and her dad walk up behind us. She smiled and looked lovely.  Music started, cues were given, everything was just right, and all went smoothly. 

It was a nice wedding, small, thirty-one people, as only immediate family on both sides were in attendance. Trey was best-man, and Jonah and Samuel were groomsmen. Shiloh, Natasha’s sister was maid-of-honor, while Halayah and I were bridesmaids. Our brother-in-law married them, sisters played piano, gave entering cues, cut cake, set up food tables, and passed out bubbles. Nephews and another brother opened doors, seated people, and were ring bearers. Nieces were flower girls, and big helpers. Mama’s lit candles, and of course helped everyone with everything.

So, another one of my siblings are married. That is four down and six to go. Big families are so exciting. Our family is growing all the time and I hope it never stops! To God be the glory!
