United beauty

She was absolutely elegant as she walked down the aisle.

The last few days have been pretty intense and very rewarding. The bachelorette party with calm sushi chatting, karaoke dancing, fire sitting drunkenness. The rehearsal day with manicured perfection, rehearsal, dinner, tears, exhaustion. And the final product. I never imagined I would take such a vital role in someones special day. It was all very intense and flew by. She shed many tears. But in the end it was all smiles. Looking back at it I am filled with emotion: at their happiness- yes. But also at the beautiful friendship that has developed over the last 25 years. To know I can be there for her and stand by her side on her special day.

It was so nice to see Mike, as always, so great to dance with him. And to see Caitlin even in her drunken state. It was great to dance and smile among strangers with a simple common understanding of the love we all shared for two beautiful people. It was fun to get ready, to help her get ready. And to walk down the aisle with the same annoying little kid I grew up with and married at 6 years old, to be arm and arm with him now in our "grown up" state, and appreciate the fact that every single one of us in that same childhood group has grown into a beautiful unique human being.
