MY BROTHER GOT MARRIED

My brother has been my best friend my entire life and it was such an honor to be his best man at his wedding to Joni.  I am thankful for my friend Abi for being the photographer so I could literally just be there for them and enjoy every moment with them and sometimes just standing back and soak it all in.   As a wedding photographer I always thought when the speeches were give that people would memorize their speeches because it would look way better for photos than holding an iPhone or a piece of paper.   I memorized my speech because of this and then when I got up there to start talking I could tell I was going to get emotional so the trusty iPhone came out.  I will never wish in my head that someone will memorize their speech, do what you need to do to get it all out!!  I tried doing a video blog of my speech because I could barely get it all out at the wedding but here it is. 

Everywhere Sean & I lived everyone always said we didn't look anything alike, so eventually I started jokingly saying Sean was adopted.  A few actually did believe me, so today I thought I would introduce myself and say  I am Sean's twin brother.

This is the first time I have ever been a best man at a wedding, usually people have to pay me to be at their wedding. 

In the dictionary the word brother literally means,

‘a male offspring having both parents in common with another offspring; a male sibling.’

I feel like that definition is a little boring soo 

My definition would be,

someone who is always there, someone I am so glad God gave to me, someone that will

always be apart of my life no matter what, a close friend.

This is a perfect day because not only are you marrying the love of your life, I am finally getting a sister.  After all those songs we wrote in the car about not having a sister when we were younger.

I wish you both a lifetime of happiness and I hope your friendship and love continue to grow for the rest of your lives, the best is yet to come!

I love you both.

Thank you to my friend Abi Ruth for taking all these photos.
