In October, my niece married her now-husband during a small, intimate ceremony in Cabo San Lucas. A month later, in November, they gathered friends and extended family in Cocoa, Florida to celebrate the nuptials—and that joyful weekend became the second stage of my fall adventure.
Coming straight from my New York trip, I loved slipping into full family mode: hanging out, walking, talking, and dancing with my siblings, nieces, nephew, and great-nieces. Being surrounded by family—both the one we’re born into and the one we choose—filled my heart. Truly, family is everything.
