wedding bliss

happy wedding day to my ladies!

last night i went into boston solo and got the chance to ride the T and wonder about people's lives- questioning their tattoo choices, thinking about their days in vietnam, wondering how a person can be so drunk that she can spit and belch and sing horribly offensive songs without a care. looking at people's new babies and old people with swollen ankles and people with worn shoes. i love slash detest riding the T- detest mainly because at the end of my night, when all i wanted to do was to get home to my crying babes- i got stuck on a smelly, crapshoot of a train for what felt like hours but was probably more like an hour. people started smoking and bitching and i was only three.stops.away. from where my car was parked. but gotta love boston- it was not a walk i was about to chance taking- about 45 minutes in the dark, with no real direct route. gave me more time to think and analyze life, though- lately i've been so overwhelmed (in a good way) about the juxtaposition of such beauty and such pain in life...i keep wanting to weep from all the sadness and happiness around me.

the rehearsal itself was absolutely divine, filled with many happy tears. they have the.best.priest(ess). presiding over the ceremony, and an all-around fabulous j.p., too. jo and lib were presented with their big wedding quilt, made by friends and family, and i had to get up in front of everyone and give a little thingie about our square.

i.don't.do.well.talking.in.front.of.people. i actually got choked up, again! i've been a cryin' fool lately. i'm just a sucker for weddings, and even more so when the couple rocks and are so much in stinkin' love it hurts.

happy wedding, happy day! we're off this afternoon, with both kids in tow- back to the big city (joey's first real time!) for a kick-ass celebration.

hope you all have wonderous weekends.

the city does that to me too--i get completely overwhelemed (sometimes in a good way) by the emotion and the lives all around me. It sounds like it was a lovely celebration of love ,though! Hooray for that!

I love going to any big city, the one closest to me is San Francisco, and it's so true, so much to take in, good and bad. Have fun at the wedding, being around people in love is so wonderful.

I love fall weddings! Looks like we have been having parallel experiences :)

love weddings, especially when they're personal. hope you enjoyed this fabulous weekend.

and, believe me, i feel the same way about the T even though i ride it every day. it's both sad and intriguing at the same time.
