in a wedding kind of mood.
i just returned from attending a beautiful wedding. it was the oldest of four sisters, who is about 23 or 24. i know two of her younger sisters from skiing and from my brother's love interest...they are great people. that, and my dad/mom have taught one or all of them. so, it was a nice time. the music was great and the bride's dress was possibly the most gorgeous i've seen...well kelsey is beautiful anyway, so she can't lose.
the wedding was held literally on the bank of the river, kind of next to a road that comes off the highway. the surrounding houses and trees muffle the noise from cars and trucks, but of course the occasional idiot drove on the bridge up above to yell and honk. my favorite was a probably bitter old fellow who yelled from his car, STUPID SONS OF BITCHES! seriously, how can you not laugh at that?
and in spite of myself and my current views on love/relationships/men in general...i cried. i saw kelsey on the arm of her sweet father and i actually welled up. this, for me, is a monumental occasion. the ceremony was shortish and sweet. exactly my style.
uncle rod was the photographer, so we got to catch up and chat quite a bit. what a hilarious man. one of a kind, really. he had the brilliant insight, "well, maggie, i got to thinking ...if and when you find a man, and if you don't introduce him to your father...this could be you, some day." if you know uncle rod, you know how the delivery of his sarcastic comments and witticisms are just brilliant. once more, i will reiterate, there really is no one like him. i want him to be my wedding photog. he already took my senior photos, so HOT DOG.
all this love and wedding talk got me thinking about my own wedding in the future, if it happens. i decided a long time ago that no matter what, i would like to have it outdoors. other than that, i haven't done the whole girly thing of planning my wedding when i was seven years old. i guess when i think about weddings, in theory i'm excited about mine...but then i start thinking about the stress of having to find someone i never want to divorce, someone who i want to (possibly) have kids with, who i want to live with and be around forever. it blows my mind, really. i am only 20. i guess i have a while. who the hell knows. but it's fun to think about weddings...what colors, what dress, who would be in the wedding party, what music...where it would be held, etc. essentially, and this sounds cheesy, but all i want is the right groom. that's it. i would be fine with shitty food and a KISS cover band as long as i could laugh at it with a cool man.
anyway, all of that is trivial to the fact that i got stung by a bee on my left ankle and now my entire leg is throbbing. what's that buzzing noise? is that my dead grandmother i see? oh hahhahhaahhhhhhhhhhhh....and i'm passing out.
i hope it goes away, i have a busy day in front of me tomorrow.
"what's that?" you ask..
um, yeah i'm in a mud volleyball tournament. don't laugh.
okay actually the concept kills me.
and ...
i think i might hang out with my parents tonight. sometimes they are just too funny.
I LOVE LEONA NAESS "I TRIED TO ROCK YOU BUT YOU ONLY ROLL" SHE IS BEAUTIFUL/BRILLIANT.
