Two years ago today, my son Dan married his college sweetheart Jenny.
Just before we all left the house for the ceremony, the six of us prayed together at our front door. It was a sweet and tearful moment. The first time we stepped through that door, Dan was not yet five years old. He bickered with his brothers and slept with matchbox cars. And here he was, about to become a husband.
Events such as a child's wedding puts us mothers into a divided mess. One part of my heart was thankful and ecstatic for Dan and Jenny's new life together. Another part was a sentimental slop of emotions and memories.
Dan and Jenny love each other and God and I'm amazed by their commitment to the important things in life, especially at such a young age. When they become parents in about six months, well, we all know how a first child turns your world upside down. It'll be fun and exhausting and crazy and amazing.
Happy second anniversary, Dan and Jenny. And many, many more!
