My Son's Wedding Day

On the eve of a beautiful day in October this year my son became a husband.  The day started and ended with wall to wall blue sky and brilliant sunshine.  On that special day my son's happiness was paramount to me and when I walked down the isle on my husband's arm towards my son waiting for his bride, I felt incredibly proud that he was my son.  He looked handsome and distinguished and every bit the calm, unflappable man I had had a hand in guiding to maturity. 

I know without a doubt that he will be the best husband that he can be and that the vows he took that  day, are vows from the heart and taken with the utmost sincerity and love for the young woman who accepted his proposal and agreed to marry him just over a year ago. I know too, that he will respect her as he has always respected me and that his giving, kind heart and remarkable strength of character will always show through with love and support for his wife no matter what twists and turns their life together may take.

To my son, I wish you all the happiness you deserve. To my new daughter, I warmly welcome you into our family.
