Weddings always make me a bit teary-eyed....that's not so unusual I guess. Dave and I are heading towards our 50th anniversary this year (YIKES!) and so, as I watch two people hold hands, exchange vows and rings, I look backward at our years.....and "imagine" forward for theirs.
Perhaps this wedding was just a little more bittersweet than others......my cousin was not there to share a first dance with her newlywed son at the reception. The father-of-the-bride danced with his daughter.....but my cousin was not there to do the same. She was present in all of our hearts.....but my heart ached just knowing what it would have meant to her to put her arms around her youngest and share that special moment with him.
I wish them nothing but the best.....this handsome young man and this loving young woman. They will have many, many good days ahead and they have already supported each other through some very dark days.
May the good far outweigh the bad, may they turn to each other in 50 years and say "I'm so glad I found you!"
