Me, Maid of Honor toast

we filled their car with balloons.(It was a rental so we couldn't write all over it)

It was the perfect day. Sure, it might have rained all day, we might have been tired, things might not have gone all as planned, but none of that ruined it. Alanna and Greg have been dating for 5 years, they had been engaged for over a year, and on May 12, 2012 they stood before God and man and gave their vows to one another. It was a beautiful ceremony. As i was standing up there it hit me, it hit me that this was BIG. Bigger than I had imagined. My sister was getting married, she was going to spend the rest of her life with Greg. It was emotional, I tried not to think about it, I didn't want to start crying! I knew my parents were crying and so was Alanna, tears of happiness. I managed to hold off the tears, but they came later. Greg's brother Matt gave a toast, and then it was my turn. I'm not big on getting in front of a bunch of people and talking, so I had tried to make it short. But as I was nearing the end I started reading 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, unfortunately I lost it and started crying,(and apparently I made other people cry too!) After reading 1 Corinthians 13 I ended with a quote from the movie UP(one of their favorite movies) "Adventure is out there!"  I am SO happy for Alanna and Greg and the beginning of their new adventure-Marriage!
