Dang, people are getting married left and right this year! Some key differences with this one, though: I wasn't in it (which was a nice change of pace), and it was family instead of friends. Congratulations to my cuz for finally tying the knot. :)
It's harder to write about a wedding that I wasn't actually in. I could write about how pretty the bride was and how dapper the groom looked. I could talk about the technological troubles they had (unity candles at an outside wedding on a windy day don't seem to work out so well). I could tell you guys about how fun the reception was (free drinks and lots of dancing!).
But that's all stuff that you hear about on a regular basis when it comes to weddings, and not being behind the scenes for this one, I can't give you a deeper look into the trials and joys of getting married.
What I can do is paint you a picture of the most magical moment of the night (and I suggest all brides make this a new tradition):
We didn't really have a chance to blow the bubbles as the bride and groom left, nor did we have any bubbles to blow until we got into the reception hall. Most of the attendees just let the little plastic bottles of soap sitting on the tables, undisturbed. A couple kids did start blowing their bubbles around the room, but were stopped when the bride and groom took to the floor for their first dance. Then the DJ asked us on behalf of the bride to circle around the happy couple and blow our bubbles while they danced. About a hundred people gathered and blew a hundred thousand bubbles to dance alongside my cousin and his new wife. It was like a scene from a dream. I can only imagine what it must have looked like from the center of the circle.
So my question to you: What's the most unique thing you've seen at a wedding. The bubbles being blown during the first dance come's pretty close, but I think the groom licking the bride when the pastor said "You may now kiss the bride" has to be the best. :)
And my challenge to you: Next time you're at a wedding, be sure to dance. Even if you're not a good dancer, even if no one else is up on the dance floor, you got all spiffied up for the night, so you might as well take advantage of it and have some fun!
