![]() ![]() “Are you seriously willing to have a kd lang song at your wedding?” I said. “So what other kd lang song would you suggest?” “Have you listened to the lyrics? It’s about a relationship that crashes and burns!” Two nights before the wedding, David29 and I were having a text convo where he said he was thinking of ‘Hallelujah ‘ for our walk. I absolutely love kd lang’s voice, but my sons? Not so much. The song we walked down the aisle to has a lovely backstory. I know it’s not traditional, but as a single parent who did all the hard yards on my own, I figure I’m entitled to enjoy all the perks. It seemed that everyone was there – aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins – the joint was packed!! From photos that have since been put up on FB by people on the other side of the family – it was a vast contrast at the bride’s place. We broke out some 21-year-old whiskey that Tom31 brought around, then some bubbly and snacks. Yes, it’s like living in the land of the giants.Īfter the photographers left to head over to Izzy’s parents’ place, it was all very relaxed. In this shot, we’re lined up left to right: Evan26, my good self, David29, Tom31 and Ryan27. I’d written my speech the day before, as had Dan, while David29 needed to write the paragraph about Izzy, so while he was doing that, the boys made breakfast for everyone while I dragged out the ironing board and got to work. He’s like my 5th son.īy 9 AM all of the groomsmen were there and the morning was pretty cruisy. I was so happy when I knew that Dan was going to be staying over with him. Dan has been living in the States off and on for the last few years, so he spent the night at the apartment and the two of them really caught up with lots of in-depth talks. I truly credit Dan as being a huge reason why we were able to come out of the other side of David29’s teenage depression with him still alive and breathing. David29 met Dan at high school and they went through a lot together. They have a great relationship where they choose to hang out, which is an absolute goal of mine as a parent.ĭavid29 and his Best Man Dan turned up at around 8:30 AM. It’s nice to have my younger two boys here without the older ones. The day started at my place with Evan26 and Jenna sleeping in the guest room – they drove straight down after Evan26’s last show, so we had a lovely evening talking and catching up on all the goss. I love this shot – you’ve never seen a happier couple. Smith, who plans to attend the University of California, Davis, with the goal of becoming a physician’s assistant, performed a jazzy version of “Orange Colored Sky” during the talent portion of the show presented by the Angels-Murphys Rotary Club, but it was Vorwerk’s toe-shoe ballet that earned raves from judges – she was named Most Talented.What a beautiful, joyous day we all had – and now I officially have that daughter I always wanted! We were backstage helping all of them with their hair and getting dressed. “You always hear these things get cutthroat,” she said, “but these girls were sweethearts all the way through. ![]() Tammie also raved about the other young women in the contest. “We are so proud of her,” said Tammie Smith, Kayla’s mother. “I just entered for fun,” an effervescent Smith said just after receiving her crown. ![]() Marijke Moes, also 17, of Murphys, won first runner-up and Amanda Vorwerk, 17, of West Point, was named second runner-up in the scholarship pageant that capped the first day of the Calaveras County Fair.
