I will dare to reflect on the perfect weekend that was Laura and Andy's wedding.
I know I have the ability to sound truly cheesy and sentimental. Whats so wrong with being optimistic and in love with things as they are? Anyway... they wed and we all are better for it!
I am so glad to have had the chance to spend some time with my sister before the"big day".
Thanks to wonderful friends of ours we were able to enjoy massages and pampering. We were calmed and beautified on Friday in preparation for the arrival of family and fun activities of Saturday and Sunday.
Walden pond was beautiful. My first time there, and now have such a need to return. We ate well Saturday evening, drank with friends in Cambridge on Saturday night and slept semi well in preparation for a ceremony that exceeded my expectations.
All sisters probably say they have never seen a more beautiful bride, but truely I never have! Laura was stunning. Before, during and after. She shone with happiness, nervousness and love.
Their vows were heart felt.
Their love is real.
For someone like me, a cynic to the idea of everlasting love and an "other" in completeness... I was definitely swayed.
I guess weddings are meant for that. To share the loving optimism of a few people who want, rather than need, to be together, through it all.
In any event, I know that Laura and Andy are blessed by whatever it is that blesses beings... be it their friends and family or some other, higher force.
And the best of it is that I get to hang out with their dog for a few weeks while they go to our neighborhood in the north. Canada.
