Proof of Life
July 23rd, 2007 -- Posted in ?:] | No Comments »This Saturday I attended Andrew’s and Jennifer’s wedding. Some people have mixed feelings when it comes to weddings. While everyone is happy for the groom and bride, often there are ceremonies that last excruciatingly long. Sometimes weddings can be occasions full of stress. Personally, I have to say that I like weddings…really, really like weddings. I don’t think I’ve ever had a negative experience.
There may be some of you that may question my manhood. I can live with that. It’s not that I LOVE weddings because of all the flowers and pink and doilies and crying and all. While that is nice, that’s not what I mean when I say I like weddings.
The feeling I’m talking about is the same reason why I feel Hawaii is most relaxing place on Earth (that I have been to). Hawaii was the most relaxing place because EVERYONE is on vacation (minus the locals of course). Everyone drives a little slower, walks like that have no where to go and talks as if there are no worries. It’s the same thing with weddings. Everyone’s happy and everyone’s celebrating. It’s the epitome of a joyous occasion.
The one thing that I’m really a sucker for is the slideshow. Many people do slideshows and it’s certainly not a new thing. But it’s almost like the ultimate celebration of life. You put on some music that has personal meaning and scroll through moments of life captured by a camera. Each picture celebrates your life as a kid, as a toddler, as an awkward teen, as a college student and finally as an adult. With each picture, there are friends and family that make life what it is: something quite grand.
a group picture… squeeeze!
