My Big Brother's Beach Wedding
A year ago, during our family reunion luncheon in Dominican Republic, my brother Ricky introduced his girlfriend Jodi to our aunts, uncles and cousins as his “wife to be”. I could still hear the room cheering, oohing and aahing. Jodi was surprised, as we all were, and smiling bashfully. Wait, was that a proposal? There was no ring, no official popping of the question, no other mention of his introduction during the rest of the gathering. I’m so confused. Could it really be?
