After a year of planning and lots and lots of lost sleep in the weeks leading up to the wedding, it was time to actually get married.
The family was all relaxing in the condo when suddenly Lynda ranin and told us that Don’s entrance song (Lamb’s Gabriel) was playing. We rushed out and our wedding officiant, Jeffrey Gisriel, took his place. Then Don and his father walked to the front together.

We were so relaxed before the ceremony started that Don hadn’t even adjsuted his tie. Speaking of that tie, it originally belonged to my grandfather Alfred Norman. After he passed away, I snagged it from his closet with the hope that Don would be able to wear it on our wedding day. I’m so glad Don wanted to wear his tux and that it worked out the way I had hoped. That’s probably the last time the tie will be used as it was super fragile and brittle and nearly gave up the ghost as Don was putting it on. Nonetheless, he looks so handsome, don’t you think. Eric looks pretty great, too. Don and I bought him that purple tie for his birthday.
When Don and Eric arrived the at front, they shared this nice Father / Son moment.

Then our processional music started and my groom was waiting for me.
