I know I'm updating alot but I'm trying to catch up with the pictures.....I'm currently still playing this family so there are LOTS of pics!




Well here we are again....at a wedding that I don't think should be taking place! I mean admittedly, I was wrong about Christian and Anna.......Anna is a great girl and turned out to be a wonderful wife and mother......and Arlen was great too....it was my son I wasn't so sure about! We had the wedding in the same church that Christian and Anna had theirs in.....But Arlen wanted her wedding to be blue and white so we had to redecorate just a bit....



Little Aiden served as the ring bearer.....he was so cute in his suit that matched his father's.....at the time we didn't have any female family members who were old enough to be the flower girl, so we simply went without!



Anna and Christian served as maid of honor and best man.....even Christian was a bit skeptical about the union, but he loved his brother and was very happy for him....Plus, he was extremely happy to see his son as the ring bearer...he was growing up so fast!!!



Jordan and Damien were very happy to be apart of the wedding party.....AJ and Damien had grown pretty close in the time that Damien had been dating and now engaged to Jordan....and Jordan adored Arlen.....it also helped that she could get ideas for her own nuptials with Damien!



And there was AJ.....I have to admit he looked very handsome in his tux....and on that day he genuwinely looked happy.....but I still had my doubts about his future with Arlen....He had graduated and found a little place for he and Arlen to start their lives.....he also got a job in the music career.....I guess he was still determined to show me that he could be a rock star!!



And here was Arlen being escorted by her father, Daniel Grayson......she was so happy! I only hoped that it would not all be in vain.....Arlen always felt she had a special.....well gift....she felt that she could sometimes see things before they happened....wonder why she didn't see AJ cheating on her?! No, that's mean.....sorry......anyhow she decided to get a job in the paranormal which surprisingly paid well over what AJ was making with his music....rock star indeed!



It really was a beautiful wedding.....despite all my reservations I couldn't help but be in awe as I saw them standing up there.....I wished that me and Angie had had a real wedding, no matter how small it would have been.....It would have been a nice memory for her to have...



The vows were said, I do's exchanged and soon he was kissing his new wife, Arlen Taylor!



All the guests filed outside to the awaiting reception that we had on the side of the church....everyone thought it was a very successful wedding as did I.



Arlen's dad pulled me over to the side to voice his concern over how his daughter would be treated now that she had forgiven AJ.....he hoped there would not be a repeat of the stint in college......I told him that I could not make promises where my son's behavior was concerned, but I did assure him that I would stay on him to do the right thing by her.



Look at these clowns! They really had bonded with Damien and saw him as their brother.....he was very involved with our family and when he looked at Jordan, I knew that he loved her very much.....and so even though I was sad to see my little girl go, I was glad she would be in such capable hands....and I planned to have them move in with Angie and me once they were married......you know so they could have the house when we passed on......and so I could keep an eye on things!



Arlen really was a beautiful bride....and her and Jordan had many a girls night out with each other.....Anna found it hard to listen to Arlen go on about AJ when she knew that it wasn't meant to be.....so she was cordial, but only so much so.....but they all had lots of fun playing this wedding together.



Their first dance as husband and wife......they really were a beautiful couple from outside appearances....and hey maybe I WAS wrong....I had been about Anna.....so maybe I was wrong again....but this was my own son...I like to think I knew him pretty well.....



Time would tell if things would be as good as they were then........and if the love in their eyes was enough to last a whole lifetime......
