After 20 years together, my cousin Lynne, oldest child of my dad’s brother, is marrying her partner, Dawn, in Florida Friday evening. Cyd and I are honored to be going down to represent the Woodruff side of the family. We are surprise guests actually, thanks to a plan we cooked up with Dawn, so fingers crossed we are as big a hit as we hope to be.

It seems all surprises are not for Lynne alone since I got one of my own when my flights were cancelled not once but twice. I did not meet Cyd in Atlanta, as planned, for lunch and the second leg of our trip since I was eventually re-booked for tomorrow morning. Cyd got there right on schedule and attended the rehearsal and dinner tonight.

If all goes well, I’ll arrive just in time to change clothes and get ready for pictures at 3:00 and then the wedding at 6:00.
