Ben, I remember when you were about a year old because your family was neighbors with my mom and stepdad. Tara, I remember you when your Aunt Cheryl married Steve at St. Isidore and you were in their wedding. But mostly, I remember today, an absolute beautiful ending to alot of planning and the beginning of your new lives together. CONGRATULATIONS and BEST WISHES.
