I like weddings. They work a kind of magic on everyone who goes - they disconnect us from the present. They pull us forwards to the future we hope comes true for the bride and groom. The days at home, the days of happiness, the children(?) that all come from right now. And when we're looking so hard to see those days, today starts to seem fuzzy. I don't know anyone who remembers as much of their wedding as they remember of a laundry-folding Saturday. But, that's what the day is about. It's about making a commitment to yourself and another person, and believing absolutely in the future you can build together...while you really, really enjoy yourselves.
Salud!
