Erich and Caity.

My nephew Erich and his bride Caity. 

He proposed to her at an Indians game the summer of 2008. 

He wanted his brothers to be there for his wedding.  His oldest brother. Tommy, is in the Navy, stationed in Pensacola.

His younger brother, Ryan, is in the Air Force, stationed in Oklahoma City, but recently in Venezuela. 

All the plans were in place, leaves were approved, Tommy got home on Thursday, December 17, in time for the wedding on Friday, December 18.

Unfortunately, Ryan's leave was post-poned until Monday, December 21.

Erich and Caity were married on Friday, December 18.

They are beautiful.  Young.  In love . . . . and exceptionally happy.

Oh, and the baby is due on February 18. 

Erich is also scheduled to ship out to Afghanistan in May.  Sigh. 

Pray, pray, pray that this ends.


oh, yes, and if anyone is counting, this is the third wedding in our family since the end of June!
