Eric+Doris [tie the knot!]

The bridesmaids had gone, the family was seated and Doris sat in an oversized chair tucked away waiting for her big entrance.  A tear dripped down her cheek as she began to realize that her wedding day had finally arrived.  Doris reminisced about her childhood and although she was happy to begin a new life with Eric, she was about to make a huge step.  It's kind of like jumping off the diving board, you watch other people do it and see how enjoyable it can be but when you are teetering on the edge of that board I could only imagine how thrilling and scary it can be.  Is there a word that intertwines these two emotions?? Thank God Kevin, the make up artist was there with his handy skills to brush away the traces of the waterworks.  

Doris continued to cry as she walked down the aisle but somehow managed to look stunning and radiant.  Eric graciously took her hand and looked deeply into her eyes as Pastor Mario proceeded to comically describe the "the love story" and how Doris beat Eric out at their high school talent show.  We were truly honored to have witnessed this long awaited marriage.  We love these guys! Congrats you two! :)
