Well, there you go. Old enough or not, he did it. My little brother got married. Congratulations, kiddo!
Personally, I think he’s on a quest to prove that we are as different as two members of the same species can be. He and his new wife were engaged for…oh, at least a week and a half? Married already. J and I have been engaged for almost exactly four years; still not married. Good thing I don’t have a “gotta get there first” complex or anything!
In all seriousness, I’m really happy for both of them. I do wish that they weren’t less than three weeks from moving to Puerto Rico (for the Coast Guard), since it has been pretty darn nice having the whole family in the same local calling area for the last couple of years! Funny how those pain-in-the-rear siblings become nice to have around when you hit your late 20’s or so.
One nice thing, of course - the pressure is off now. We no longer have to wonder whether J and I will manage to get hitched before my little brother. The answer is obviously no!
