Hello, Beautiful

This is Lindsay. Feel free to call her Gorgeous.

Lovebirds

We've known Val for a few years. We've shared meals, conversation, and even a couple rounds of Settlers. She's endured my husband's teasing, my brother's debates and the craziness of our house. And all the while we kept our eye out wondering who would come along and steal her heart. Then along came Garrett.

When Val called and asked if we wanted to go out on a double date with her, we knew something must be serious. Over dinner at Mcmenamin's we clearly saw how much Garrett cared for Val. His easy smile and slight sarcasm won us over. And then as if to prove their potential for longevity, they crushed as at shuffle board.

Lincoln City Wedding

The toasts were almost completed when Brian and Jess got up to say their thank-you's. So many people had helped to make their day as special as it was and they wanted each of them to know how much their work was appreciated. But then Brian wanted to say one more thank you. He wanted to thank a very special woman. As he looked down at Jess, Brian told everyone on the room that he knew behind every amazing woman was an amazing mom. He was so lucky to have Jess and he wanted to thank her mom for helping to make her the woman that she was. In all my life I have never heard a sweeter thing come out of a groom's mouth.

Brian's dad got up for a toast as well. He warned Jess that Fitch men love their women. They put them up on a pedestal and never take them down.

And the thing was, I knew he was telling the truth. All day long I'd watched those words in action. From the first moment he saw her, Brian could not stop staring in amazement at Jess. He told her how proud he was of her and the wedding she put together. He would pull himself back a few feet from her just to get one more look at his bride. And Jess glowed when she was with him.

Those Fitch men and their pedestals....they must be on to something.
