Weddings

I really enjoyed this wedding. I think I much prefer the events before a wedding to the reception itself. The anticipation and the promise of more togetherness and celebration of the pre-wedding activities just have a certain thrill to them that I prefer. They also give me the experience of being able to leave it and when I want (because there will be more later to attend). Versus always feeling like we har to make the most of the reception, because this is the end of the festivities.

Anyway, I have enjoyed this weekend, despite the reals struggles involved in it (including having to sit almost an hour in the car, waiting to travel the three blocks to get inside the resort’s gates, the resort staff being kind of nasty about it and saying there was plenty of parking and that they had no idea what we were talking about that anyone might be sitting in a like of unmoving traffic for the past half hour already, and then finding that the parking we had already paid for was full from a conference happening, and then being over an hour late to the welcome dinner for the wedding… yeah, that sucked big time.).

Thank you, God, for the time I got to spend with my family this weekend, and for the time I spent with friends. Thank you, too, for the time my family got to spend with each other, too. Please, keep us safe and make us well. In your name, I pray. Amen.
