A month or so ago my second oldest nephew Matthew, got engaged, to Caitlyn. They were just going to elope but my sister and mom convinced them to have a wedding in my parent's backyard instead. My sister, Emily, planned and put together the whole thing. It was beautiful. I flew straight to Las Vegas from Boston since the wedding was that night. It was a quick trip for me, but not as quick as I had anticipated. I was going to fly back Sunday (the day after the wedding) but I was flying on a stand-by pass and couldn't get on any of the flights so flew out Monday morning instead. I was sad not to get back to Abby when Ryan did, but the wedding was nice and I'm glad I got to be there for it.
As the ceremony was supposed to start is started raining. Not hard, but still. They waited for about 10 minutes to start hoping the rain would stop (there was no rain in the forecast) but when it didn't they decided to go ahead fearing it could start raining harder. Just seconds before it started the rain totally stopped and this rainbow appeared. It was perfect - much more vibrant than you can see in the picture. There was actually a double rainbow.
Matthew's two brothers, Luke and Seth, were ring bearers.
His little sisters were flower girls (Caitlyn is an only child)
As Caitlyn walked down the isle almost everyone watched her, but I watched Matthew watching her. :)
They both said Yes!
