My oldest daughter, Erin, got married this afternoon — and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The sun was shining, the air was warm, and there was just enough of a breeze to make it feel like heaven was smiling on us. It was one of those rare, picture-perfect days that seem to know they’re meant for something special.
Erin was absolutely radiant. You always hear people say the bride was beautiful, but in her case, it was true inside and out. She’s weathered her share of storms and come out stronger, wiser, and ready to start this new chapter with a full heart. Seeing her walk down the aisle, surrounded by family and friends, was one of those moments that takes your breath away. And yes — I cried. What mother doesn’t?
My new son-in-law, Nick, didn’t just marry my daughter — he married into a ready-made family. Standing beside them were Erin’s three children: 17-year-old Nate, 14-year-old Emily, and 12-year-old Christopher. Watching the five of them together, you could see it — that blend of love, trust, and joy that only family can bring. Nick didn’t just promise his love to Erin; he promised his heart to all of them.
As we took the family photo — all smiles, all hope, all new beginnings — I thought, what else can I say? The picture truly says it all: love renewed, faith restored, and a mother’s heart overflowing with pride.
It was a beautiful afternoon, a beautiful bride, and an even more beautiful reminder that life has a way of giving us exactly what we need — right when we need it most.
Congratulations, Erin and Nick. May your home be filled with laughter, faith, and love that grows stronger with every passing year.
