Wedding Bells

July 17th 2010: a date that I (and many other people) have been looking forward to for the last 6 months. But the occasion that actually took place on that day? Something we've all been looking forward to for much longer.

For as long as Kelly and Matt have been dating, we've all known that they would be great together; and at least speaking from the Phelps side of the family, we've known that Matt would fit into our family just right. He's always been a part of our family, but Saturday's wedding finally made it official. Not gonna lie, I got a bit teary-eyed during the actual ceremony. While I admit that I seem to be crying at a lot more these days, it really was quite the happy sight to see those two get hitched. It's been a long time coming, and I couldn't help but think about what a truly wonderful event it was.

The ceremony itself wasn't the only great part about the day. Who could ever forget the reception? It was a blast. Great music, dancing, food and drinks, and a best man speech that should win an academy award...it was a night to remember. As to be expected at a wedding, everyone was lighthearted and happy, and having a great time; but from the way I saw it, there was something more. Now, I haven't exactly been to a lot of weddings, but there was something about this one that was extra fun, extra special. Maybe it was seeing everyone in my family together again; maybe it was seeing Kelly light up as she finally referred to Matt as her husband; maybe it was all that combined with so many other little things. Who knows? All I can say is, it really was a great night.

Congratulations Kelly and Matt, I'm so happy for you and love you both!
