What a Great Christmas Surprise!

[seadoug]

We went to visit my SIL and the family for Christmas. My SIL has been with her boyfriend for 8 years. We arrived on Sunday and she told us they were thinking about getting married on Monday at the courthouse. They did, and we were the only ones there so we were the witnesses. My SIL and her (now) husband are in the middle, I'm on the left and hubby is on the right.

After 33 years, I've known my SIL when she was single, during her first marriage and while she raised 4 kids so It was the best Christmas present ever!

What a pleasant surprise! I think she waited to marry so that you and your hubby could attend the celebration. She must really love you. I wish them much happiness.

What a neat Christmas surprise! And lovely picture. Is this the same SIL who was sick (cancer treatments?) about a year ago, Doug? And if so, how's she doing? @seadoug

Yes, thank you for remembering! She went through chemo and radiation and is now cancer-free and feeling great. Her hair has grown back, albeit more curly and short. She is wearing a wig in the pic because that is what her hair looked like prior to treatment and she wanted a pic that will look like her when it is long again.

This is what her real hair looks like now. Equally beautiful. I called her Kris Jenner when I saw her and she didn't like that at all!
