I recently saw on Facebook a video of a wedding that took forever. Just the march alone could have been 20 or 30 minutes. The groom walked down the aisle to his song, swaying and bopping to the beat. Then, the groomsmen joined the soul-train groove, dancing and rocking their way down the aisle. After that, the rest of the groomsmen and bridesmaids, pair by pair, waltz, rocked, swayed, two-stepped, gangsta leaned down the aisle. Just when I thought that surely the bride would be next, nope, they were still dancing this thing out.
First, I am glad to see that they are getting married. That in itself seems to be something of the past these days. At the same time, I sincerely hope that they put as much effort into making their marriage a healthy and prosperous union as they did in getting married.
Over the years, I have pondered what type of wedding I would like to have. Of course, 50% of that answer depends on my groom. After seeing this wedding, I would gladly accept a simple, very meaningful candlelit ceremony and an elegant dinner for family and close friends after our vows of love and devotion, and then off to the honeymoon. Oh yes!!!!! Woo hoo. Okay, I will calm down. Simma, simma down now.
With that, I am sure I could go back to the video right where I left off, watch it for a few more minutes, and still never see…..the bride. Good Gracious!!!! lol
To each his own though. Every wedding, every relationship is like a fingerprint, no two are the same but all should bear the mark of genuine love and devotion.
Peacefully single, but looking forward to that special day.
