I never had any doubts about marrying Erik, not a moment of anxiety or cold feet. Rather, I left the temple with the thought, “I can’t believe I got away with it. He actually married me!”
But I didn’t know, couldn’t have known, how lucky I was to become part of his extended family. Erik’s cousins, aunts, uncles are the most interesting, fiercely independent people. Every time I sit down with one of his cousins I think, “This is a person I would have chosen as a friend.” And it makes me love Erik just a little more.
So I couldn’t resist taking photos of Erik’s cousin Suzanne, her husband Dan and their miracle baby, Abigail. Suzanne is quiet, thoughtful, intelligent and
quite
obviously
beautiful.
And a few in the orchard…
