AUSTIN & CATHY AT THE REHEARSAL DINNER
“He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love.” (Song of Songs 2:4)
One of the recent things that I’ve begun to do is to collect magnets from each state. Because of our Virginia trip, I wanted one that said, “Virginia is For Lovers.” I found one that I ended up not buying because it was flimsy and not worth the money. I still find the saying to be true, for Virginia is where my brother Austin fell in love and married his sweetheart Cathy.
On Friday night, after a long trip from Ohio to Virginia, we arrived safely at our hotel. Cathy had arranged some young women from church to watch all the kids. Now, we are talking about a lot of kids. There were ten siblings in Richmond for the wedding, with most families having between three and four children. (All but two families stayed at the same hotel.) While the kids swam and ate pizza, we enjoyed a very nice rehearsal dinner with an all-you-can-eat spread of Italian food. Both Austin and Cathy had stars in their eyes.
As for me, I was thankful to reunite with Dan after his trip to Hawaii. It seemed like he was gone longer than six days, probably because so much happened since he stepped on the plane for the luau state. Yes, Virginia is for lovers and I was finally reunited with mine.
