When we learned that our friend, Tony, would not be able to make our wedding due to his overseas tour schedule, we were really bummed. We couldn't imagine our wedding day without him there. After much thought we decided that since he couldn't be there in 3-D we would bring him in the 6 foot cut out cardboard 1-D version. It was great!
This past weekend was the fabulous wedding weekend of the new Mr. and Mrs. Brad and Karen! Brad and Karen felt the same way we did about Tony, for Kyle, Rob and Jake. All three men are currently serving their country. So a cardborad cut out it would be! And so the tradition has begun!
I was warned in advance, by a really amazing army wife, that weddings without your husband, are tough. This statement I can now confirm is true. However, these ROTC Marquette men and their significant others, are top notch people. They made the weekend emotional manageable and just plain fun. Thanks, friends:) And although a 1-D version of Kyle (and Jake and Rob!) could never compare to my wedding dance partner, it helped in a way that I can't explain.
