going to the chapel...

to see my friend get married. i went home last week for one of my best friends' wedding. it was a great time. i was so happy for n. and v. they're both wonderful people who truly deserve immense happiness with each other. i was so honored to be a "bridesmaid", it was a fun experience, though i have to say, i now know why most bridesmaids hate their outfits - they are not meant to be flattering or comfortable in any way! most everyone we grew up with came to the wedding so it was fun celebrating with them, great mini reunion for us. some of the most touching moments in the wedding - during the toast, v.'s dad had us all participate in wishing them the fulfillment of all their dreams and aspirations. and n.'s aunt wrote a beautiful poem which had a line that said, if i held the world in the palm of my hand, i would give it to you. but, i'll admit, the whole time i was a little sad that i wouldn't be in her shoes any time soon, unless a miracle somehow happens in the next few months! either way, it was a great weekend and i wish them both a wonderful life together.
