This lady was still a bachelorette, you know, the engaged kind. And she was engaged to my older Brother John. She was given a wonderful Bridal Shower by my husband's Aunt Melanie. Which makes her my Aunt Melanie too. But to this gal, she is former co-worker and beloved friend. Also, this lady shall be called Sister Amber.Why you ask? I'll tell you.
Because this lovely lady is also an Amber. She is Cousin Amber, daughter of Aunt Melanie, cousin too my husband and therefore, cousin too me. But to Sister Amber, she is beloved friend, and Maid of Honor. They met through Aunt Melanie. You keeping up?
Wonder how I managed to so deeply entangle these families?
Because about 2 years ago when my daughter was a tiny suckling infant in a swing, I got this great idea to put my brother on this blog, kinda like it was Craigslist. Not that I'm knocking Craigslist. Cuz I'm not.
If you need to refresh read this and this.
After I put those posts up, Cousin Amber called me and said she thought she knew someone that he would like to meet. From that point on we conspired, e-mailed, phone called and match made till they finally got to talk to each other, and go on their first date.
The rest is history, and this lovely shower, and a fabulous wedding, and 2 newlyweds getting ready to share their first Christmas as husband and wife.
This is the family Sister Amber married into.
Tammy, Grandma Shirley, Myself, Sister Amber, Mom and Kimmy.
There will be a quiz later.
And this is Aunt Melanie, Sister Amber and Cousin Amber.
But the most important thing to remember is that all of these people love and cherish Sister Amber. We are all so very happy to have her in our lives and enjoyed her special time. And I guess I better mention that we all love and cherish John too, don't want him to feel left out.
But it is all about the bride right?
Cheers Sister Amber!!
