Steven and I went to a wedding this Saturday and stayed until the dance floor closed! I don’t think we have done that since our wedding! We were having such a fun time chatting with people and dancing, that the night just flew by. And the funny thing is, I didn’t know anyone there except for the bride and one bridesmaid… so I wasn’t sure who would we hang out with for most of the night. But we ended up sitting at a table with some wonderful people, and it felt like we were there with family. What a great time.
Do you stay until the dance floor closes at weddings? Are you out there dancing the night away?
Anyway… this is about to get cheesy. You’ve been warned.
The wedding was for a college friend of mine, and the whole night, I just couldn’t stop smiling, and thinking about how happy I am for her. I teared up during the ceremony. I got overly excited when it was my turn to greet and congratulate her. I… just spent the whole night with a stupid grin on my face, thinking happy thoughts.
And that wasn’t the point of the post. Oops. I am getting there. You could just tell how much planning and thought went in to the wedding. You could see the little details that made their special day, well, their special day. When I was there, feeling so honored to get to partake in it, I started thinking about our wedding and how one of my favorite parts after was hearing everyone’s different wedding and reception experiences. Because after all that planning, the night just flies by, and hearing everyone’s stories afterward makes the feelings of the night last even longer. Weddings can have a lot of guests – how much do the bride and groom actually see? It’s so fun later on, to hear about how old friends got to reconnect, or a funny story from the dance floor, or whatever it is. Hee hee, when I get a chance to catch up with the bride, it will be to tell her how crazy fun her cousins and their partners are. I wonder what other stories will be shared with the newlyweds!
It makes me feel good to think about all of these people coming together with love for the couple and for their family and friends there, to share a fun night together with all of these somewhat different experiences.
So, yeah – cheesy. I just felt a really good buzz after this wedding. It was a great feeling.
And thankfully, my snister did my hair and makeup so I didn’t look completely ridiculous! Ha ha ha.
