It seems fairly impossible it’s
already been a year since the MEF became the ABFA. Then again so much has happened
and they are so perfect together that it seems they’ve been together forever. I
remember being concerned going into this weekend last year that I’d made such a
big deal in the preceding years about my daughter’s wedding that there was no
way my son’s could register in the same neighborhood.
I learned the important lesson to
never underestimate the power of true love. My son tries to portray the “too
cool for school” personae at times but if you put him in the vicinity of his
wife that all melts away. This weekend was completely different as we weren’t
using our home as base and returning to Nashua, a city with a lot of personal memories.
We checked into the hotel as friends and family were gathering and the fun did
not slow down for the entire weekend. While it did have a very different vibe
than my daughter’s wedding it was every bit as fun. That’s what happens when
you’re in the presence of a something that’s just so right. It also helps that
both of my children surround themselves with equally outstanding people (such a
fun crowd), not the least of which are their respective spouses.

| That Moment |
The ABFA was an absolutely stunning
bride and glided through the event as effortlessly as one would expect from a
world class athlete. My favorite instance of the whole weekend was the moment
my son saw the ABFA in her wedding dress for the first time. While the entire
crowd was focused on the back door of the church opening to admit the ABFA I
looked at my son. It was one of those rare moments of totally unrehearsed
emotion that rang with the truth of the love he felt for the beautiful young
lady walking towards him and their combined future.
The reception flew by in a blur as
time is wont to do when it is being enjoyed too much. The mother son dance was
memorable as they both ably served their Latin genes. The shenanigans back at
the hotel after the reception reinforced that no one wanted the day to end.
The past year has been just as hectic
and blissful as that weekend with their new house and a pronounced campaign to acquire
a golden retriever. My son took the ABFA up to the White Mountains for the
weekend to celebrate their first anniversary. They stayed at the mountain inn
where he proposed to her. The kid definitely has a romantic side. I’m so happy
they found each other and they realize how lucky they are to find someone so
perfect. Happy Anniversary!!!!!!
