And another one bites the dust...


Our most recent whirl-wind weekend has come to a close, bringing official finality to the singleness of both Kevin and Katie. As they said "I Do", I sensed an urge in the crowd of witnesses to shout exuberantly: Hip Hip Hurray! Hip Hip Hurray! Hip Hip Hurray! The audience, however, just clapped and whistled, though I am positive that what they really wanted to do was cheer Hurray! Secretly I was thinking, "and another one bites the dust", though only in the most compassionate way of course. As someone who has already personally "bitten the dust", I feel genuinely excited for the newlyweds as they begin this new adventure together. Marriage seems to be what you make of it, kind of like life. It will be wonderful to watch those two beautiful yahoos create their reality, with lots of laughter and love. Selfishly, it will also be delightful to have another sister in my life. Welcome to the family Katie and congratulations to you both!
