The newlyweds Josh & Grace with friends from Level Up!
Two years ago I attended a spate of weddings of friends (8 in a year I think!), then it dwindled down to a score of christenings the suceeding year, and as a testament to my old age this year the 1st wedding I attended was of a staff member. He was nice enough not to ask me to be ninang, but rather part of the entourage as the veil sponsor. It was a small and beautiful wedding, made even more meaningful by the fact that you could really feel that the vows spoken were straight from the heart. The groom sang the vows through a self-composed song, the bride uttered them as heartfelt words. Seeing someone I met years ago grow and develop into a mature individual pledging to share his life with someone was touching indeed.
Funny enough the other moment that struck me was when the minister lectured the bride that now, she could no longer live the single girl life and she would have to share everything with her husband, and consult him on all decisions. I actually laughed out loud thinking of myself following that kind of advice. It would be damn hard! Hmm, maybe I'm not ready?
PS - I caught the bouquet. Took pity on the poor flowers which were getting abused from landing on the floor because no wanted to catch them.
