This Saturday was a beautiful and amazing day for the family. We celebrated Anthony & Karissa getting married. There was plenty of laughter, a few tears and memories to last a lifetime. When it came time to make a toast, I assumed it would just be the Best Man & Matron of Honors, but soon everyone was saying something. I didn't prepare myself to make a speech. In fact, I dread public speaking. But, here is what I should have said...
" I've been fortunate enough to be a part of the Harper family long enough to watch Anthony transform from a little kid... to a young man... and now to a husband and start his own family. My entire life, I've wanted a little brother, and I was lucky to get that the day I married Wes.
Like many, I never thought he'd finally settle down, but when he decided to and chose Karissa to be his wife, I couldn't be happier. We've considered her family for a long time now, but it's nice to finally make it official! A little advice... Always remember to kiss each other goodnight. Never go to bed mad. Love with abondonment. And always be each other's Best Friend. Here's to a lifetime together filled with love, happiness and at least one niece or nephew for me!"
