Arrived in Mexico for the wedding. Resort is decent, though not my style (by a long shot). Food is okay, but not great by any means so far. Company is stellar, though the crocodiles all over the nature reserve in which the resort is located kind of freak me out a bit…
God, guide us through this weekend powerfully through and with your love and your will – your will be done. In your name, I pray. Amen.

I really did look like Barbie Hannah, as my mom labeled it, this weekend for the wedding. That airbrush makeup and darkened eyebrows and false lashes really did make me look… well, flawless, yet slightly fake. I am definitely not accustomed to relating to these photos I am seeing as photos of myself…

So…, I might be adventuring next month… We shall see…(!!!)

And the wedding celebration was a complete success!
The photos were beautiful, and got me super interested in doing more photography, especially the way I really want to do photography.
So…., I think I will go ahead and start doing that…
Tomorrow, even…
Yes.
This sounds like a beautiful and fulfilling idea… let.’a do it.
🙂
P.S. The trivia game in random groups was quite fun! Thus the photo…
P.P.S. This breakfast bread was, according to my brother, cheap, and was, according to all of us, delicious.

Two days to go, and I’ve just developed a throat in increasingly intense pain…
Fingers crossed for the best here!

My friend has gotten me stuck on watching the shows “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette”.
It isn’t that we actually are all that into them… – I don’t even watch television or television shows or anything anymore (including all of the streamed shows and whatnot [which I have to say, because people tell me all the time how they don’t watch tv anymore either, because they just do Netflix and Hulu and such…]) – more so that it is fun to have a weekly date night in place, during which we get to see beautiful places, see others’ opinions, and consider our own opinions on various topics we perhaps hadn’t considered or, at least, discussed with one another (or, even, others).
The last I had seen the show before this year, they all just spent the whole time in one location.
Nowadays, however, they travel the world.
Upon discovering that, I commented that I wanted to go on the show.
It was a sort of joke at first, more interested in the travel than anything else.
Tonight, however, months later, we got to talking about it in a rather serious way: Do I perhaps actually want to go on the show?
If so, now is the time to apply, we both agreed.
And so, I looked at the application online, and am genuinely considering whether I want to apply for it… it seems simultaneously absurd and a wonderful adventure for me to make… and both sound rather intriguing, to say the least.
“Why do you want to go on ‘The Bachelor’?”
That is my question to consider and to answer in the coming days… if the answer is worth it, I’ll fill it in on the application and submit… if it isn’t to me, then I will close the application… either way, I will feel and be satisfied with my determined path, and I will be delighted for what life has to offer next. 🙂

Some days, that one extremely rich acquaintance-slash-friend gets engaged, and you find out the ring was a “4.5 carat, round flawless, D color, Excellent cut (XXX)”…
And you think, Well, that sounds nice… big, for sure, but whatevs…
And then a girlfriend tells you that, not only is that “HUGE”, but the stone alone is worth over three hundred thousand dollars…
… and your eyes open really wide, and you sit there with your jaw wide open, and then you start belly laughing, while you begin to process it all…
And then you learn that the proposal was a scavenger hunt that involved multiple locations and a private plane (owned by that same friend-slash-acquaintance who was the one proposing), and you think, Well, sheee-itt…, he really is Christian Grey after all.
And it all feels quite silly instead of depressing in terms of your friend who used to date him, and you giggle uncontrollably for a bit, and end up having a wonderful time with that girlfriend who used to date the early days version of your verified Christian Grey…
So goes life, I suppose…. for some people, anyway… 😛
Which includes the part, I suppose, where this isn’t really a some days for most people… guess this one’s just for me and my life, after all, too. 😛

May the Fourth be with you…
I made that, using a Facebook messenger sticker as the foundation, and then adding the light saber and the extra message and stars and blue…., because I felt I needed a sticker of one of my characters holding a light saber for today (and the odd other occasion, of course, too).
At my friend’s wedding this afternoon, the string quartet played the Star Wars theme song as my friend and her now husband exited the chapel.
Our party favors, which happened also to be the main point of the send-off (which we faked way early, so everyone could go play, and then the bride and groom didn’t have to leave the party at any particular time [and they ended up being there as one of the last handful of duos present], and no one had to worry about breaking things), like a sword salute tunnel, were light sabers(!!!!!).
At one point, a friend and I were playing with ours, and he suddenly declared that he really wanted to go dance the current two-step with our light sabers just in our hands… and so we did… and the party progressively included more and more light sabers in active (and mostly appropriate) use.
It was such a blast of extra fun to have at the reception, those light sabers…. to the very end of the party, they were wonderful.
I also happen to have some fun ideas for photos now… 😀
Because, you know, I have four light sabers…. it pays to be one of the last ones around, helping. 😛
Also, my friend’s dad told me how, at the shooting ranger this morning, all the targets were from Star Wars: The Death Star, Darth Vader, Storm Troopers, and the likes…. and he said they discussed how you can’t take down a Storm Trooper with a direct hit, but that is have to miss, if you really want to get them. 😛 (Watch the first movie, if you don’t get it, and focus on the scene where Leia shoots at the Storm Troopers on the ship.)

Attending all these weddings has been a unique experience…
I wander between delight with joyous tears and skeptical wondering… how lovely that they love each other so much to be marrying… I wonder if they have any idea of how long they’ll live (and therefore if they realize for how long they have committed to being together with their vows)… how magical to have someone to love mutually like that… I wonder if they still will be married in three years… five… ten… one…
I also wonder at the decorative and stylistic choices of just about everything at these weddings… I see and attend and analyze enough of them, that I notice the actual difference this or that makes for just about every detail… if I ever have a wedding, it’ll be a unique affair, and not one to be missed, I can assure that… (however, if I ever have a wedding in the first place, I don’t see myself throwing loads of cash at it, so very few people will be in attendance).
