Random thoughts from the Matron of Honor


Erin and Scott got married this past weekend and it couldn't have gone better. It's going to take a while to get all the photos ready to show, but here are some of the highlights from my perspective.

- Dancing with the flower girls on the trolley on the way to the rehearsal dinner. And dancing with them again at the reception...even though there was no dance. Those two girls know how to party.

- Seeing dad in a tux (for the first time in his life) walk his daughter down the aisle without missing a step and holding his composure until the very end.

- Wondering where Craig was during the entire rehearsal only to learn that he was trapped in the stairwell trying to find a way to the balcony for a photo opportunity.

- Adding a brother-in-law and niece to the family. And not just any brother-in-law: Scott has patience, a sense of adventure and an easy-going spirit. He balances Erin out well. And Kailey isn't just any niece: she embraced "Aunt Carrie" from the get-go and appears to think I'm half-way cool to hang around. We'll see how long that lasts.

- Agreeing with Craig when he said "this is the happiest I've ever seen Erin" during the reception and knowing he was right (even happier than the time she came home from the hospital 29-some years ago to meet her big sister).

Congratulations, Dr. and Mrs. Rawson!

Carrie
