“Congratulations to a couple whose match truly seems made in heaven. May your years together be filled with heartfelt joy.”
Family from New Jersey, California, Japan, and Texas including my brother Steve and sister Josephine and their families and of course Cecile and I and our family gathered together at the Clark Gardens, a breathtaking 50-acre oasis in North Texas to celebrate our nephew Michael and Lauren’s exchange of their wedding vows. The two lovebirds met at a rock-climbing venue in 2019, and make quite a handsome couple. The ceremony was lovingly officiated by Michael’s stepdad, Steve Joyce. His brother Andrew was his best man, and his other brothers Brock and Alex were also part of the wedding party. As the best man, Andrew, a sergeant in the US Air Force, stationed in Japan had some fun and loving things to share about Michael and jokingly welcomed his new sister-in-law “into our dysfunctional family.” Finally, it was a joy watching our granddaughters Lyla and Emmy dance up a storm and meeting their 19 month cousin Luka and 4 month old Ayla for the first time.
Congrats to Carla and Steve Joyce and Lauren’s family.
