Since my first post back in 2011 my best friend eBeth has shown up in my posts here and there. What I never told you all, for reasons I'm really not sure... I'm absent minded and easily distracted, and.... where was I? ;) Anyways, what I never told you all was that back last February she and my brother started courting... a match I had been making for years and they had finally come around to realize I was right. ;) Last November for Thanksgiving my brother went up to North Carolina with her to meet some of her extended family and there underneath a waterfall he proposed to her. :)))))))))))))This last Saturday they were married! Naturally I was one of the bridesmaids and I'm pretty positive that besides them I was the one beaming the most! :) It was an absolutely beautiful ceremony. We were incredibly blessed to have lots of family come.
I am so excited for their marriage and new life together. I love them both so much and I know that they will be very happy together. Finally I can officially call eBeth what I've always called her anyways... my sister. ;)
And in lesser thought (just this once).... reading.... ;)

ReplyDeleteBut neat and interesting!
I didn't know you were also in the "matchmaking business." ;-)
Oh yes! I love to matchmake left and right. :) If I can't find a match myself I'll make one for everyone else. ;)
DeleteHow awesome! Are you renaming yourself Emma Woodhouse now? Lol. That's very cool, though, to have a friend marry into your family :-D Congrats to them and you!
ReplyDeleteEmma as far as matchmaking... I don't think I'm like her in any other way... maybe I'm in denial? ;)
DeleteThank you!
