Dan is an awesome big brother and closest to me in age, out of my siblings. I will admit, I felt a little melancholy the morning of his wedding. I had flashbacks of our childhood and the way that things used to be. He was the last one out of our family to get hitched and I just feel as if we're all grown up now and on the road to starting our own families and that things are never going to be the same. I understand life changes and for the better, but why does it have to happen so quickly? Isn't it funny that when we were little, we couldn't wait to get older and now that we're getting older we sometimes wish we were little again? Oh man, I sound like a mom already! If I feel this way right now about my brother, what will it be like when I start having my own kids?? Ahh! I'm such a hormonal woman right now! Excuse me.
I really am just so happy that he made that big and important step in his life and with the woman he loves so much! She's good to him and great for him and that's really all that matters. What is a life without love? I'll tell ya, it definitely wouldn't be a life worth living! I heard that quote somewhere... I'm not sure who it's by, but it's so, so true!
Now I can look forward to getting to know my new sister-in-law better and raising our kids together (in the future) and all the fun traditions and stuff that expanding the family brings. :)
Congratulations Danny Boy and Stephanie!! We love you and are so proud of you!
