This past week-end I saw the beginning of a Happy Marriage! We attended the wedding reception of Jacob, our eldest son, and his new wife, Stacia. The wedding ceremony, we thought, was a private one on the island of Antigua on April 14th. During the video of that event we all learned that the ceremony on the island was a renewal of vows made last December. My son had been married, in secret, for over four months! Leave it to a "kid" who is still pulling pranks on base with fellow Coasties to cause the entire crowd at his wedding reception to collectively laugh!
Following their introduction as husband and wife Jacob and Stacia entertained us with a choreographed, very romantic, first dance. You can see it here.
The remainder of the evening was filled with delicious food, lively music and dancing, candid photos, sparkling conversations, and a thread of laughter running throughout.
You can have a taste of the festivities as well as a glimpse of the Antigua "get away" by enjoying the slideshow below. As Hunter and I left the reception we smiled at each other with relief. All three children are now happily married to wonderful spouses. Could parents ask for anything more? Maybe lots more grandchildren?
