Feel the love
Hubby and I have been to a wedding this weekend. I always love going to weddings, especially when I know the couple well. This weekend, something reminded me of our own wedding two years ago.
The Bride looked totally gorgeous in a beautiful dress. The Bride and Groom had made their vows without fault and we'd applauded the new Mr & Mrs. The wedding party then moved to sign the register.
I sat and looked round the church taking in the moment. Then I looked at the wedding party - the parents, the brother and sister-in-law of the groom (Best Man and Matron of Honour repectively), the bridesmaids, etc. I saw the Matron smile as she watched the Bride and Groom signing the register and then I noticed that they were all looking at the couple with such love and happiness.
Those looks took me back to our wedding day. During the day, I realised that everyone was there because they loved and cared about us. It was an amazing experience to feel that. I hope that our friends had similar feelings on their special day.
And that is why I love weddings - they are full of such positive feelings and hopes for the future.

What a lovely post to read :)
I was at a wedding myself this past weekend. I know what you mean about the warm feeling you get when you look around and see that everyone's so happy that the couple are together on their special day. So full of hope, ready to set out on their new life together.
The minister forgetting sections of the ceremony, nor miserable British weather, nor children purposely tripping up the waiting staff during the drinks reception could ruin the day (lol) :)
Thank you ... and welcome to my humble abode.
that's so lovely. That was the best bit of my wedding too - as I walked in looking around and seeing all the people I loved most (bar two families) all smiling at me!
