Bern and Jen’s wedding video

We went to the wedding of Bern and Jen last Sunday in San Clemente.  Bern is the brother of my sister-in-law Angie, who passed away over three years ago from a devastating disease called Scleroderma. She was married to my brother Rob, and we all miss her every day. 

This is Angie.

Yes, she was beautiful.  But, she was also unmatched in her kindness and never-ceasing cheerfulness. And her laugh? She could get a whole room laughing.

Tragedy seems to make the sweeter moments in life more precious and this wedding was proof of it.  Sure, I cried a little when I saw Angie and Bern’s parents…and when I hugged Bern dressed in his tux…and when Jen walked out with her dad…and when I saw the little bracelet on the table dedicated to Angie…and when they played "What a Wonderful World," by Louis Armstrong (Angie’s favorite song).   

Make no mistake, there was a little crying, but that didn’t stop me from having a great time and making this little video. 

The wedding was elegant and beautiful, and so was the bride.

Here are a few quick notes about the video:

Jen asked me to video tape their first dance, and it’s a proven fact, that no on can say "no" to those enormous blue eyes of hers.

My brother Randall thinks every girl he meets has a crush on him.

I see every video I make as a chance to flaunt the awesomeness of ’80s music.

You have to watch the dance all the way through.

Enjoy.
