MOH Speech #3 by Suzanne Hart

Meg and I first met in Junior High on the square dancing line
In her Bongo gear, she was really fine
We connected instantly
Laughs, giggles, and those gooey Leota cookies
Our friendship blossomed in our high school years
Especially when I had my faith fears
She helped me find my relationship with the Lord
My best friend led me to the greatest reward
Your purple neon and cheerleading gear
Those underclassman girls knew you were to fear!
My dad was right when he said God blessed me with a life-long best friend
My girl soul mate, always up with the latest trends
My heart hurt when you were off to AZ
To explore, find yourself and party with the KKG!
We wrote to each other several letters from 1999 to 2003
All kept within the same journal for no one else to see
Documented were our dreams, wishes, fears and college stories
Oh yes, it is quite the inventory!
In one entry you wrote about this frat boy named Zeb
With hoop earrings attached to his head
On a coaster he asked you out
But God had a plan for you to find Zeb again on a different route
Then came Ari, the sweetest and greatest girl
She’s brought joy to our lives and world
Ari’s so remarkable because of you
I’m so proud of you as a mom, I love me some Meme and Lulu!
We travelled far and met in Spain
Where all the locals thought us two blondes were lame
“Me gusta chocolate ice cream per favor?”
Our broken Spanglish was to die for
Fast forward to a few years later
What the future to hold, you weren’t so sure
We spent time exploring different spots in Kirkland
Redhook movie nights, M’s games, you were sure to find a man
Little did you know Zeb would peek his head in
At all of these random spots, your new life was to begin
Artistic, Crazy, and Fun
Honest and caring, someone I can ALWAYS count on
You deserve all of this, happiness and joy
You are my BF forever, oh we have so much more to enjoy!
Love you Meggy,
xo Suzy

 

These shots were taken while Suzy and I waited for groomsman TJ to come jump her dead car battery after the rehearsal dinner.  Her battery died because I made her run her AC so all my candy wouldn't melt. Oh the things she does for me!!

Someday....

I'll stop blogging about my wedding...until then....

One of the many favorite parts of my wedding were the speeches and there were several.

Here is my sisters:

For my little sister Meghan Z

You've always added spice and fun for me.

You've been generous with all that you are

even sharing your purple neon car.

When we were kids you'd get up early to braid my hair

which I appreciated even though you were slightly a bear.

You would share your clothes with out a pout

Even though I didn't share mine with you, no doubt.

Being the little sister you got pushed around

I even made you clean clothes off the ground.

When you had enough of sharing our room, you moved to the garage

And found it be your new place to lodge.

You are resourceful, creative, independent, it's true

And that's what Zeb is blessed to have in you.

I love when we giggle so hard and stop

until our eye are teary and about to pop.

But what I love most were our late night talks in bed

It always helped me clear my head.

I have always known you to be honest and true

Even when it is painful for me and you.

And now the day has come for Zeb to see

all the amazing things about living with Meghan Z.

Thank you dear sister. I love this poem. I love you. I am grateful for you. For your kiddos and Tim.

All My Love in the Universe!

Meg
