Come with me to a local winery back home in southern Illinois called Walker's Bluff. We're going to be in the wine cave today for my cousin's engagement party and she's going to greet me like the queen that she is with a glass of wine and showing me her bling. Let's take a look around. There's the bride. Here's the bar. I can't believe this is my hometown. It feels like a hidden cellar in Tuscany. But it's her story unfolding right here at home to who she's always been, to the love she found and the life they're building. And here is the mother of the bride, the woman who has loved her every step and has been her biggest prayer warrior. Oh, wait. Fit check. Bride era activated. God builds love and community and every person here is a part of that. We're going to hear from that community just in a second.
I love Cheyenne's ability to just connect with people. How bubbly she is, huh? How spunky she is. I can talk to her about anything. She's so sweet. Lights up the room that's.
Her. Friends say that she lights up every room and you can see it even through his lens. I've watched the Lord carry her here and I'm so proud of the woman that she has become. And then her doctor walked in. The people who see her in scrubs showed up for her in heels and it was everything. Work, family is real. And then they cut the cake, just the two of them. Sweet for about three seconds because of course she had to test him. She saves lives in the lab but this cake was fighting back so the doctor had to step in. Now we're going to hear from some more of the family.
Whatever you do, don't ever go to bed angry and always talk about what you need to talk about and communicate. Respect each other. Always communicate with each other. Trust and communication are two of the most important things. Don't be afraid to say I'm sorry. What else do I love about Justin? His hairline. I love his hairline. Good looking like his mom. Smart like his stepfather. Tall like his.
This is what a cool heart feels like.
I hope they just always look forward to seeing each other when they are together. We are excited to have a new sister in law in the family and to see them grow together even more than they already have. They've had such a beautiful journey and have kept each other even KE see them grow. Awesome to be a part of that journey with them. It's always fun to see young love, blossom, pure happiness. I just want this next chapter of life to be. I love Justin to death. Them together. There'll be no stopping them. Justin, please always adore Cheyenne. And Cheyenne, please always admire Justin however.
They say I do. This was her moment. Me, Prima. And I'm so thankful to have been part of it.
