This weekend, I was in a good friends wedding. I say 'good friend' because I did what any good friend would do when asked to stand up at one's wedding:try to talk him out of it!
He and his bride have been together for nearly four years. They had only one instant where they split, for nearly a month, only to mutually decide they belong together. All together now:aaaaaaawwwwwwwwww.
Having been down that road before, only to have it blow up in my face, I will admit that it was a lovely ceremony.
It was quick, to the point, and included his two children into the service.
As I stood there listening to the Priestess (yep:it was a gal), I began to see my two friends as they should be:together at last. And it kinda made me a bit misty and almost, I say ALMOST wish I were doing it again.
There's something about attending a wedding whether it be standing up for someone, or sitting in the congregation in a mass witness that brings out feelings that seem to only come out during a wedding.
I can only speak from experience, that after the ceremony it all changes. We forget what we have just shared with that special someone and revert to just plain silliness. It seems that too many of us are afflicted with this and that's why the divorce rate is so high.
If we can truly find "that special person" and remember on a daily basis those feelings we feel during the cermony, the world would truly be a better place.
