Weddings are interesting things. You have a large number of people who know each other very well, and another large group that knows each other very well and you throw them all together for a whole day and expect them to make nice to complete strangers. Yet for some reason, we are always kind and polite and welcome these strangers who we know nothing about into our families, into our homes. Many will become as close if not closer as any other part of our family. Only because we are joined for such a happy occasion does this work. Friends, family, and strangers put everything aside, we forget divorce, feuds, the fact that we don’t even know people's names, all to enjoy a happy day for two others that we love.
