 weren't the only ones; both Mom and Dad were starting to cry. Wow. Funny how much happiness a marriage can bring. I thought back over the few days that I had been fighting with Andy. It had felt so good to be with him again. I guess it only makes sense that knowing you never had to say goodbye would have this effect. The more I thought about it, the more I decided it would make anyone overwhelmingly happy to have such a blessing. My joy for George and Lindsey doubled.

I watched their beaming faces and realized that I should have tried to get smiles from them before the wedding. I was never going to have a chance to create one now. Every smile they had over the next few days would be for each other. Oh, well, small price to pay, at least I got to see them so happy.

The weather had warmed up so the pictures, although long, were not a problem. The happy couple ate lunch at a nearby restaurant with the two families and then they went off on their own while we finished preparations for the reception the next day.

Most of the final work was just baking cookies and decorating the cultural hall the next morning. I put a batch of cookies in the oven and Dad made Mom take a nap. While the cookies were baking, I called Andy.

"Hi, Megan. How did the wedding go?"

"It was wonderful. They both seem so happy. How was your Thanksgiving?"

"Crazy but good. Mark's family is a trip. We spent this morning making a snow fort."

"Did you have a snowball fight?"

"Not yet. Caleb has been making snowballs all afternoon. I think Mark and I are in trouble after dinner."

"Sounds fun; wish I could be there."

"I wish you could, too. I miss you."

"Me, too. You should have seen me trying to get all the baby roses out of my hair and I get to do it all over again tomorrow."

"I'm sure you looked beautiful. Did the twins behave themselves?"

"Funny you should mention them, I haven't seen them much. I think they are maintaining a low profile at the moment so they don't get put to work."

"Mark and I are planning on picking you up from the airport on our way back Sunday night. We'll be a little cramped in Mark's truck
