Weddings Make Me Cry

I had to go with my dad and grandmother to the wedding of a super-distant cousin that I had only met once before, and I was at first so unwilling to go. But when the first few people in the entourage started marching, I started to feel a giddy sense of anticipation. And then the bride walked down the aisle to her waiting groom, and I had to bite my lip to keep from crying. I barely knew the couple!

I don't know what it is about these occasions, I just get into the moment so much and I feel all the collective emotions throughout the church -- the loss of a daughter, the excitement of new life, the protectiveness of a loyal friend, etc., etc. I don't know how I'm ever going to make it through my own. I'd have to wear waterproof makeup, that's for sure!
