The BIG Day

Lyle's wedding day was much anticipated by all of us. There were a lot of emotions going into it...the last three years have been full of big feelings for all of us. I think one day I'll probably write about all of that here. But today is not that day-- because this post is all about Lyle and Melissa. And the pictures, in this case, really do say far more than I could ever say about this day. It was magical in a lot of ways. Despite the intense heat of the day, it was lovely and relatively low stress. And it was sweet and it was ultimately a day made up of dozens of tiny moments and big moments that altogether created a day that was just what our family needed. I think it was perfect for Lyle and Melissa-- I hope it was. Melissa did a great job planning a beautiful day and it was just fun. Lyle's kids were happy and healthy and sweet and just good. So good.

Lyle is happy. And lucky. Melissa is great... and amazing with the kids. She is already someone I feel close to and I am so very very glad she is part of our family. What a blessing she is. I hope she feels the same way about us.

And, on to the big day...
