As a homebody, I am irrevocably attached to whatever is familiar. And whenever I lose a piece of my wonderfully familiar world, it makes me sad.
My brother got married yesterday. I know I haven’t lost him, but I did lose something familiar. No worries, I’m happy for him, and I know that he is very very happy now which makes me vicariously happy too. I’m just hoping that this new unfamiliar bit of “my world” becomes a better familiar bit in time.
Oh, and something entertaining for you all. I led my mom up to the altar to light one of the two candles candles bordering the central unlit unity candle. But I was confused and almost made my mom light the unity candle, in fact I aggressively prompted her for a solid 5 seconds before the stares of an alarmed congregation made me realize what I was attempting to do was horribly wrong.
congratulations Jon and Carol.
May your marriage be awesome.
