Another toast, this time poured generously

[zalena]

The bride told me this morning that she hadn't originally understood my reluctance to be maid of honor. "I didn't really feel like I was asking that much of you," she said. "But after the wedding I can see the enormous emotional weight to the honor. I felt like you were my big sister protecting me through the entire wedding. I don't even know how to begin to thank you for the honor you have showed me by being a part of my wedding, and a part of my life."

(I'm getting all sniffly again, just thinking about it.)

She also gave me a rather drunken toast last night to me and my future Viking.
