Tulsa, OK: Christopher & Rachael's Wedding Day




Wow! What a day. We have been looking forward to this day for a long time and it has finally come and (almost) gone.

It's official -- Christopher and Rachael and now Mr & Mrs Christopher Dale Abbott. The wedding went just as planned and we have now officially welcomed Rachael into the Abbott Family; in truth we had welcomed her into our family a long time ago. She and Christopher balance each other and we wish them a very long and happy life together.

Very strange feeling to watch your oldest get married. I know many before us have gone through the exact same process and many more will in the future however it felt very special and unique. Christopher and Rachael had a specific vision of how they wanted the wedding to occur and, at least to me, it appeared they made it happen.

It was also a real treat to see our other children take part in the wedding; Scott was best man along with Christopher's childhood friend Tony F. Both Kasey & Jenna were bridesmaids. Seeing Christopher and Rachael surrounded by their siblings, life long friends and all of the people who love them was very reassuring.

We'll spend a relaxing day tomorrow here in Tulsa. Monday, after we put the kids on a flight back home, MLA and I head for the Rocky Mountains, probably Colorado Springs.

See Ya!
