she said yes

Sister called last night to announce that we're going to have a wedding! (I could almost see her gawking over her engagement ring over the phone.) She says it will be either this summer or this fall, and of course we're going to be there.

They started dating just a few weeks before The Hater and I were married, which will be four years this summer. She hadn't realized it, but I still had some planning books at home. I told her where those were so she could get started. Sister's forte isn't decision making, so this should be exciting practice for her. We talked on the phone for almost an hour last night.

Of course Mom and Dad knew before Sister, and she tells that they spilled the beans to the grandmothers before she knew, too. Dad was on the phone with his mother when she asked him if they were ever going to get married, to which Dad replied, "Funny you should ask that..."

This is going to be fun, Sister. Woo-Hoo!
