Kit's wedding was a blast. It was marvelous to see so many people love up on Kit and Mary Courtney as they took their vows. And while I will always be blessed with the vision of the wedding party and pastor surrounding the bride and groom in prayer, the picture that I will cherish most from that weekend is our family photo taken at the rehearsal dinner.
This family is an amazing collection of individual zaniness. You are each as unique as it gets and while you all contain Southwick gene's most of them are mutated in a most humorous fashion.
I pity the photographer who says "can we get a shot of the Southwick's?" This is a good as it gets. We are not a formal, sit down, cross your arms, people with glasses tip your head down kind of family. We are wacky, spontaneous, a bit rebellious and just plain fun to be around. Just ask me! This picture captures a glimpse of each unique personality and tells countless stories - all perfectly enjoyable and funny.
The fact that Mary Courtney would jump right in the front row and flash the thumbs up is a pretty good indication that she "fits in" to a group that doesn't even have an "in."
Well done my family - you have made this grumpy, old man smile.
Something to think about...
I love you,
Dad
