OUR LITTLE GIRL GOT MARRIED - TWICE

After a Christmas choir concert at GVSU in 2005, and after asking my and her father's permission, Brett asked Vicky, our youngest daughter to marry him. He did this in front of the entire choir and it was a surprise. She did not know he was even coming to the concert. He was in a suit, with a red rose, and singing For Sentimental Reasons. By the time he was through, every co-ed in the room was crying and Vicky was beet red. She said yes.

May 1st, when Victoria visited Brett in Monterrey California, where he was in training, they eloped and got married by the ocean. Then Vicky went back to being a college student and Brett went back to his Air Force duties. They kept the marriage secret for quite a while, telling most of the family at Christmas.

Vicky still wanted a formal wedding, and as she and Brett would be moving to Nebraska where Brett was then stationed, we agreed to give them a wedding, or technically a renewal of vows ceremony. The wedding was on May 4, 2007 at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, with the reception following in the same venue.

It was a beautiful affair even if I do say so myself. Here is a photo--
