This weekend was one of my very good friend’s weddings. We
have known each other since the 5th grade, but close for about the
past 7 years or so. Needless to say we have known each other for a lifetime it
feels. She is the 4th friend
of my high school crew to get married. It was not as emotional as the other 3,
maybe cause I am used to this by now, or I have accepted my faith of always
being the one attending the weddings.
It was such a pleasure to be apart of Shannon
and Brian’s path to happily ever after. The moment Shannon
met Brian she knew he was “the one”. I have seen many boyfriends come in and
out of her life but Brian was different. The moment she met him she could not
stop talking about him. I was dying to meet him. Within a few months I traveled
to Hoboken to
meet them for brunch. From that moment on, I knew he was the one for her. They
fit together perfectly. They have similar personalities, similar families,
similar hearts. They are so accepting of everyone, and want nothing but
happiness for everyone around them.
The wedding was one of the most beautiful affairs I have
ever been to. The room was filled of love, and happiness. It was really about
the meshing of two families becoming one.
I caught the bouquet. If you know me, you know how shocking
this is. I am the least athletic people you will ever meet. I caught the
bouquet with a perfect catch. When she was tossing it, all I could think was I am
going to catch this. When I won a trip to Ireland in a hot potato contest, I kept
thinking I am going to win this trip, and I did. This catch lead me to believe I
need to be more positive and believe in myself more. If I can believe I will catch
the bouquet why can’t I believe I will make it in LA or anything else I put my
mind to.
Lori, another friend I have known forever, got married 3
years ago today. After I caught the bouquet she is convinced I am next to get
married. She said it will be June, 3 years from now. She said Shannon
didn’t know Brian 3 years ago, and look at them now. It’s nice she is so positive
about me meeting someone. I am open to things. You never know what will happen,
as they say everything happens for a reason. Only time will tell!
