February 7, 2015: Baby Russ Got Married
I'm in Cancun and just experienced the beautiful wedding of Russell Lane III and his lovely bride, Megan. I had never been to a destination wedding before. A first for me and a first for Garrett. Although a gorgeous setting and reprieve from the Nebraska snow we left behind, not all invited guests could make the trek to the Caribbean. I quickly found that destination weddings may be low in attending guest count, but high in level of enthusiasm. We were in the middle of a tropical playground. The focal point of the trip was the marriage of Russell and Megan. There wasn't a dry eye on the rooftop as the adorable couple shared their personally written vows with whimpering voices and loving emotion. I sat back and smiled, reflecting on the day Russell was born into the world and the number of people around me who shared in his boyhood. Yes, Baby Russ got married. It feels like yesterday that a very pregnant Robbie called announcing she had lost her 'mucus plug'....
