Midlife’s A Trip

My Son’s Wedding Anniversary

Posted on 14. Dec, 2007 by Karen in Family and Friends

Today is my son’s Chip’s 6th wedding anniversary.  He and my lovely daughter-in-law Kim were college sweethearts.  But can it really be six years since they tied the knot in Las Vegas?  They had planned a wedding back at home but a family illness necessitated a delay.  So they started making other plans. 

When my son told me that they planned to elope to Vegas, I told him what a wonderful idea.  Chip was a little taken aback when I said I was eloping with them.  But he didn’t really put up a fuss when I explained that there was no way I was missing the wedding of my only child.  Kim’s father decided to join the wedding party too and we all headed out to Vegas to the Little White Wedding Chapel for the ceremony.

It was pouring rain as we left the hotel for the chapel.  But you should have heard the oohs and ahs as people commented on what a beautiful couple.  And indeed they were.  During the ceremony, I stood there as my only child got married.  I had a smile on my face, tears in my eyes and love in my heart.  I remember thinking of my son as the curly-headed little toddler he once was–smiling his amazing and ever-present big grin.  And I watched him smile it that rainy day in Vegas as he married the girl of his dreams.

Now six years later, my son and daughter-in-law have had all the ups and downs that young couples have.  But their relationship is strong and today they celebrate that.  And I do too.  Chip and Kim–I’m wishing you much love and happiness today and in the years to come. 

P.S.  And there’s no pressure from me on the issue of grandchildren :-)
