Erin's Wedding

Erin and Greg got married on August 23, 2015. But let me go back a few hours before the wedding. It started as a normal day with me getting up and having breakfast. And since it was a Sunday, I went and got my usual Boston Globe and fresh rye bread from the local bakery. I then settled down to reading my paper and watching "Sunday Morning". All that changed when I received a call from Erin at 10 am. She was at the hairdresser with the rest of the bridal party getting their hair done before the wedding, which was at 3:30 that afternoon. She told me that my other daughter Heather had fainted in the chair and was going to the hospital by ambulance. So off I went to the local hospital to meet Heather at the ER. I was there before the ambulance arrived but it drove in shortly with Heather. By the time I was able to go into the ER to see her, she was doing fine. This has happened before to her and it's always a stressful situation. The ran all sorts of tests and they all came back normal. The ER doctor wanted to admit her but she checked herself out of the ER and came to my house to finish getting ready. It was now 1PM. She got ready and headed to the wedding location which was about 30 minutes away. I finished getting ready and Susan and I headed there too.

We arrived at the wedding site and everything was perfect. Heather was doing fine and Erin just looked beautiful. I escorted her outside to where the ceremony was to take place. The ceremony was very nice and Erin and Greg were married. The reception was perfect too. The food was very good and the "Red Barn" was decorated nice too. I had my father's dance with the bride and Greg had a dance with his mother. After that the fun began. They had a DJ for the music and his choice of songs was great for dancing. He said that he never saw so much dancing at a wedding! Everyone had a great time! Even my mom, who is 92 years old, got up to dance several times. I just wish my dad could have been there with her. Everyone said what a good time they had.  All in all, it was a perfect day!
