One of my best friends got married a couple of weeks ago, and it was so, so wonderful to be there. (And to be there with friends and with my own love-he makes a very good date to silly dance with).
What touched me most about the day, though, was not--as I had before expected--the adoration between the couple (and let me just say: that was huge), but the warmth and the compassion and care between everyone else. The mutuality of it: the idea that we were coming together to support a prospering love. I really, really loved that--I have always really, really loved that about weddings. There was something about this one, though, that heightened it.
Oh, I hope they have a wonderful life. They deserve it--and eachother--for being so strong.
This is such a sweet post! I hope you showed your friends this :) That is why I love weddings so much, you summed it up so perfectly!
