Well, not quite. Andy's sister, Sarah, married her long-time boyfriend Jason Zeller in a great ceremony at the Zeller Ranch in Crosby, TX. While Andy went down to Texas in late March, I joined him 2 days before the wedding, and met up with Andy's mom Carol, Stepdad Tommy, Brother AJ, Uncle John, his wife and kids Angelisa, Caitlin and Christian, and his Aunt Micki, her husband Charlie and daughter Rebecca (meeting a "small" family like this gives me a whole new appreciation for the poor folks who have to meet our family, and remember all our names).
It was great to meet more of Andy's family, and some of them are just as colorful as members of our own. We had a great time at the wedding, Andy had the privilege to walk Sarah down the aisle, and after a short ceremony, the tent was transformed into a reception hall.
And the party began! Fueled by brisket, potato salad and not a little bit of Budweiser, that ranch rocked well into the night. And as any member of the Meekins family knows, the party doesn't start until "Billie Jean" comes on. And party we did. (Sidenote: Andy, having been around me for far too long, requested Billie Jean. They have video of my face when MJ came on, and...let's just say it's pretty priceless)
While Andy and I can cut a rug, we were both fumbling our way through the Texas Two-Step when Jessica, a bridesmaid, came to our rescue, tutoring me, then sweeping Andy off his feet. I then cornered AJ, and we trampled our way through a half dozen George Strait songs. (Little known fact: 99% of country music is, in fact, a Two-Step).
Finally the night wound down, we hopped back into the rental car and drove back to Houston. But there's no rest for the weary. Next stop? South Padre Island!
