It's strange that I have been able to handle five Christmases away in a row, yet crumbled to pieces (ah-hem, cried for 1.5 days) from missing my brother's wedding on Saturday. Why did I cry for 1.5 days (instead of just one?!), you wonder? Because the thing about being 8 hours ahead is that the fun is still going on in Ontario even though it's a shiny new day in Kuwait. It's unkind to wake up the following morning and realize that the entire family is still dancing up a storm. Thank you Time Change for prolonging my achy, achy heart.
Oh well. The truth is that I would have likely cried as much if I were at the event too! My brother and his wife are two incredible people, with each of them being so thoughtful and compassionate - making it very clear that FAMILY is the MOST IMPORTANT THING. They (both of them!) have this special ability to make you feel important and when you tell them anything at all, you know that they didn't just hear you, but they actually LISTENED to what you had to say. They're the greatest! By marrying Aubrey, my brother Graeme has grown our family in the most beautiful way :) We love you both so very much!
Because we weren't able to make it to the wedding, we were asked by the wedding party if we would like to send a little video to show instead. Being the least tech-savvy couple on Earth, we said yes! HAAAAA!!!! One very long night of iMovie tutorials ensued and I decided in those very frustrating hours that I have never missed my grade 6's so much! Next time I have an "assignment" like this one, I'm recruiting their help. And next time I give an "assignment" like this one, I'm giving them all A's. The new generation knows what's up ;)
Here is what we came up with! FYI: Aubrey is AMERICAN!
CONGRATULATIONS, GRAEME AND AUBREY!!!!!!!! Although we missed your special day, we hope that this star-studded video made up for it just a wee bit. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and adventure together! xo
