To Make You Feel My Love

Note to Readers: I am posting the fun of our summer while simultaneously doing my best to keep you up to date on "the now." So, the posts flip back and forth from June and July to the present day...and back again. Sooner or later, we'll be all caught up! Sorry for any confusion. sbc

My niece Anneke married Cory Oslin on June 21 at beautiful Cottonwood Barn in Dexter, Michigan. It was a very special day best told in pictures:

Schuyler sang Bob Dylan's "To Make You Feel My Love" as Anneke and Matt walked down the aisle.
It was beautiful.

I look at this picture and imagine these two taking the dance floor again at her wedding for their own father-daughter dance.

I love weddings.

Thanks to Anneke and Cory, their parents and grandparents for sharing their day with us. It was an honor.
