To the newest Mr. & Mrs. Ellison

My baby cousin Will (or Young William as my Dad calls him) is getting married tomorrow to a wonderful girl, Allyse. They met in Hawaii where Will is stationed and Allyse is a student at Hawii Pacific. The wedding will be a small beach ceremony and I cannot wait to see the pictures of the beautiful bride, groom, and scenery.

We plan on celebrating their marriage with the whole family and a big party when Will returns from a tour in Afganistan next year. Until then, I wish you a wonderful wedding and a blessed marriage. I will be singing this song in my head tomorrow as I think of you:

The number of children on the porch steps has grown quite a bit since this picture was taken. Allyse, I hope you know how happy we are to have you in our family! Will, I hope you know how lucky you are to have Allyse :)

Congratulations and I can't wait to hug you both!
