so say we all!
Posted on June 23, 2009 - Filed Under mayalife
I’ve been in several weddings and gone to a pile more and I have to say, my cousin’s wedding this past Saturday was about the most fun, joyous, and silly-happy I have ever had the pleasure of attending. And I was the maid of honor, often a hell job, but not so for this one! I couldn’t have had a better time. Maybe it’s the difference between a twenty-something wedding and a forty-ish wedding—when you’re forty you know more of who you are and what you like, and you’ve got the confidence to do what you want. So you get an event that fits you, rather than a fantasy plucked out of Bride Magazine. Not that there is anything wrong with bridal mags, just… here, let me show you.
My cousin’s wedding included such fun things as traditional songs, well loved poems, and bagpipes, yes, but they also had a call to any wizards in the group, medieval costumes in the audience, the jumping of a cauldron full of blessings…
…and a pronouncement of “So Say We All,” a la Battlestar Gallactica. Ha!
Did I mention that Elvis came to the reception?
Much laughing and fun and true expression of love from the bride and groom….
….made the whole thing a hoot and a half, despite 100 degree temperatures.
Thanks so much, Tracie and David, for letting us bask in your happy love for each other!
