Gary's Wedding

So the anticipation all year long is over now.....my how quickly we plan for a day only to have it come and go so quick. I will say though that Gary's wedding day was spectacular. It was gorgeous in every way. The weather was a little cool for July and it was a little overcast, but it never rained. Weddings are always fun, but when it's for your twin brother and you know all the people at the wedding, it makes it extra exciting. My favorite part of the wedding was standing up with the bridesmaids and since Gary was looking towards the girls I could see his face the entire time. There were a few times where he looked over at me during the service and without saying anything that twin bond was there and we knew how the other felt and the love that was there.

Maybe it's a twin thing or maybe it's the fact that he is my only brother....but I knew that this wedding was going to take a lot out of me. I am totally a quality time person. I love spending one on one time with people and making memories with people. Prior to this wedding my heart had become so jealous. It became jealous at the fact that someone else besides me would now have more quality time with my brother. It seems like I rarely see him and having him get married and become a part of someone else's family only made me jealous....and maybe even a little bitter at times. I had to pray so hard that the Lord would change this jealous heart to gladness. My brother will always only have one twin sister....I am not being replaced. The Lord had to remind through this wedding that He does not take away.......He only gives......and so the best part of this wedding was that the Lord gave me a new friend and sister-in-law in Julie. Welcome to the family Julie. :)
