Heather`s Wedding

Heather And Rob`s Wedding

Heather and Rob..The Bride and Groom
Friday August 24, 2001

My daughter Heather is now officially married !! She is now
Rob`s wife. One of my other daughters called me and told
me as much as she could on her cell phone. We didn`t stay
on too long because they were on the way to the reception
at the time. For those that don`t know, I have Agoraphobia,
so wasn`t able to attend. My heart was with her all day and
I talked to her a few times today too... :))


Rob and Heather..Front Row..Anna, Taylor, And Miranda

I got a lump in my throat knowing she is now a wife. I know
her husband loves her very much and he`s always been good to her.
Now that the lump has grown smaller... I am so happy for her .. :))


The Justice Of The Peace who married them, my brother Tim walking
Heather down the steps to get married, and the bagpipe player

We are part Indian, the groom is Scottish. The men in the
bridal party wore kilts. The order of procession was.. Bridesmaid
..her sister Tammy, next briedsmaid..her best friend
Tanya.. next Bridesmaid, her sister Chrissy... Man Of Honour
Brad.. 5 year old niece Miranda who was to hold her bouquet
while at the altar... Flower Girl..her 8 year old sister
Taylor.. the main attraction.. the beautiful Bride Heather
with my brother Tim giving her away... then her 10 year
old neice Anna, carrying her bridal gown train. They had
bagpipes playing while they were going down the steps and
along the bridal path.

At the reception, Heather was welcomed into the clan by his mother, who
presented her with her own clan Sash, which was a surprise to
Heather... :)) It made her cry... I'm almost crying just from being
told about all of it... :)) All the emotions my daughter has gone
through lately, and then today.. :)) Part of the ceremony contained
Indian vows to each other. She cried again at the reception
when her sister read aloud to her what I had written to her
and her new husband. Not a poem this time, just heartfelt
feelings from me in a letter form. More crying came when
her sister and her best friend gave their speeches.


My brother David, my sister Sherri, Heather, and my brother Tim

She called me a little while ago. The reception is finished,
but a few of her close friends went to their place with
them. She told me " I'm married now Mom." I almost started
crying for her !! Mom stuff... :)) She told me she loves
me and sent me some cake by way of her sister... :)) She
couldn`t stay on too long... her hubby and guests were waiting
for her.... God, I lost my little girl to a man she loves
so much... but she ...still called me to tell me she loves
me... :)) Between writing this and listening to this music,
I'm close to crying... but it`s a good cry... :))

Heather and Rob`s hands...Joined at the heart
