Let me tell you, it’s a really crazy thing when one of your younger siblings gets married! I was full of emotions all day. However, my main emotion was overwhelming happiness.

I am super happy for Emily because I know what a catch my brother is! But I am really happy for Joe because Emily is AMAZING! AND I am really happy for me…I have a sister-in-law (who I love to bits)!

The wedding was absolutely perfect. It was an extremely small wedding. I know that Joe and Em really struggled with keeping it small, but I think deep down they knew that the day was about the two of them and their love for one another. I KNOW they would have been perfectly happy if it were just the two of them in a courthouse. Fortunately, (between the moms and sisters) were able to do a little “gentle coaxing” so that we could get ourselves onto the guest list!

I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day for my brother and his new bride. Simple, sweet, laughter, and lots of love!

Joe–I am so proud of you and the man that you have become. You never cease to impress me. I can always count on you to have thoughtful conversations about the universe, discuss all things 90’s (maybe even sing some theme songs), and your smart and witty humor will ALWAYS make me laugh.

Em–I am so happy that Joe found you! You are a beam of light and I can’t wait for you to be a part of our family, experience our traditions, and to help us make new ones.

Congratulations from the bottom of my heart.

Love you,

Erinn
