ANOTHER WEDDING!!

Yesterday, the beautiful ring, the beautiful couple. 

 Kris and gypsy baby

 halloween a few years ago

(two mommy's with their two babies)

MY sis, C and her hubster, Ted

have two sweet and grown sons.

So much alike and yet so much different....

Arthur is marrying Amanda in a few short weeks

and we all were wondering, when Kris, the younger son

would pop the question to his long standing and 

wonderful girlfriend, Kaylee.

We have all speculated and some of us also thought

he would beat his brother to the altar.

Kris, though, he is the sweet soul type.

He may have wanted to ask Kaylee to share

their life together before his brother and many times since.

In true Kris fashion he would not have done that

so as not to take away the limelight from his brother

and his soon to be sis in law.

Then, yesterday, he had already made plans to

take Kaylee's two very best friends ring shopping.

Yes, you heard it right, he and her two best friends.

He knew no one would be able to pick out her

beautiful ring better than her two besties.

We learn later that he, having asked her father

for her hand,  also planned for her Mom to take her for the day.

from what I hear, when she and her mom returned 

from shopping he was in a suit. with a ring. 

on the knee.

This is our romantic Kris.

We. his family who have known and loved him

from the first day he became ours knows 

just how lucky Kaylee is.

Kris, however, is also not lacking on the winning

factor. Kaylee is a gem and will be nothing but a wonderful

companion and the best Mommy to any children they are blessed with.

Both are from parents whose marriages have withstood the 

test of time and because of that, they know it is what they

also want.

Kaylee has an old soul and everyone wants her as a maid of honor

because of all the love and care she gives to the bride 

and the occasion. I sure hope all those, remember that

and spoil her to the hilt as no one deserves it more.

Now, for me to speak of my dear, dear Kris.

He and gypsy, being only 8 months apart they

not only were each others first friends,

but also were best friends and inseparable while growing up.

To the point that some believed they were siblings instead 

of cousins. They were only happy when each weekend was

spent together. I am close to al my nieces and nephews,

but the relationship with Kris was somewhat different

as he did feel like a third child to me in many ways.

Always a sweet child, he grew up as a very responsible young man

but not so grown up that he forgot how to play like a child.

He and Kaylee are always having some type of fun together.

I am blessed to be his Auntie Lil.

Now to officially become Kaylee's auntie also is making me

smile big, big!

Another wedding in the family and then hoping for my sis,

many little "sugar babies"

in their future.

Love you both, my surrogate son, Kris

and his soon to be beautiful bride, Kaylee.
