Writer's Block: Wedding bells are ringing
What was the last wedding you went to? Were you in the wedding?
This sounds like fun I guess. The last wedding I went to was for my college friends Jane and Jim. I was one of their bridesmaids along with two other college friends. Plus a ton of college pals were invited to the wedding, so it was like a mini reunion of sorts. Their wedding was quite different then what I'm used to, but it's very much them, small and intimate. I would have to say that both of them are in many ways even more conservative then I am. Which is a stretch. Now that they are married, they may have a similar change as our friend Kristy did after her nuptuals. Kristy, who was shy about telling us about a guy she was talking on the computer with, is not quite happy being married and enjoys all the intimate privilages that come with being married. so we shall see. I am very happy for both Jane and Jim, the moment they met, I think everyone would agree they were made for eachother. It was a privlage to be asked to be apart of their wedding.
One wedding down....two (three if you count Mary Anne's that I'm not going to) more to go this year.
Next wedding: August 12th - Mary Anne and her man in Arizona. Though I am not attending as it is very small and family only for the most part. I will be thinking about her on her special day and can't wait to see the pictures.
Next wedding I'm attending: August 25th, the bride Angie is a good friend of the family. My mom grew up with her parents and my uncle is her dad's best friend. So alot of my family will be there, an it will be a big catholic church wedding, at the same church my parents got married at. Angie's Bachelorette Party is next weekend, including a Pure Romance Party, were I am sure i will have no personal use for any of thier prouducts. But, I figure I'll get some things for Angie and my friend Katie who is getting married in October. I'll let you know how it goes.
Next wedding I'm in: October 27th - My best friend's wedding. For over 20 years Katie and I have shared out hopes and dreams for everything from careers to family to love and of course our weddings like all little girls. I still don't think it's really sunk in yet, that she is really getting married. We've grown apart since college, due to me going away and her staying home after a year and starter her career. As a result, we are at different places right now, but no matter how long since we last talked, We can go on for hours on just about anything. I think since she is a little more experimental then I am, and thus tired the whole college drinking party and dating thing years before me, there are some things that if or until I get to the ready to get married stage with someone, that she won't mention to me. I'm not dumb, she's been living with her now fiance for over 2 years and before that she spent nearly every night there anyways, so I'm sure they've gone past kissing. But we just dont' talk about that kind of stuff. I was afriad at first that she jumped into this mindset that she needs to get married too fast, since she was stuck at home while all her other childhood friends were hours away at college. Her parent's divorce probably didn't help things either. But now that it has been a few years (and not three months) that they've been seeing eachother, I see how happy she is. I don't know much about her soon-to-be husband, but as long as she is happy, that is all that matters. I'm happy for her and will be proud and honored to be part of her wedding day, like we've always planned.
All these weddings make me feel a little old to be honest, can we really be old enough to truely get married and have babies. This isn't pretend anymore. In addition all these weddings make me think that I'm going to have to have a rather large bridal party myself, if I ever get married. I have too many wonderful friends that I've made since last I ever gave it a serious thought (which was pre-high school I'm sure). That makes me feel WONDERFUL. No matter what happpens I know I have friends and family who care.
So much for writer's block...not blocked now!
