A bittersweet occasion

Tweet

Today's the day Kristin has dreamed about for thirty two years. The weather is perfect and the rehearsal dinner last night was wonderful. It was at High Cotton in downtown Charleston, SC. Lots of beautiful people (many college and work friends of Kristin and Dave), plus family members. His parents and family are really nice...enjoyed meeting them. Sadly though, Dale's sister Faye passed away late Wednesday night while we were at Tammy's. Even though we knew she was recently diagnosed with lung cancer, we were told it was the treatable kind. Then it came as such a shock that she died. I think she probably had cancer much longer than she realized or than she let anyone know. Dale is understandably upset, but we're not telling Kristin until after their honeymoon. We're trying to enjoy the celebration, especially since Dale is walking her down the aisle and will have the father/daughter dance with her. We decided to skip the brunch tomorrow and drive to Arkansas from here. Thank you again for your prayers for Faye and your wonderful wishes for Kristin and Dave. I'll post some photos soon. Love you guys.
