a wedding is always a perfect place to make some memories, and with my friends and a long awaited reunion involved, it was just that...perfect. 6 girls, "sisters", all together to see one of them marry the man of her dreams.
what could be better?
so as we popped pink champagne, told old stories, got a little car sick (sorry em, it's true), talked some dirt, won some sick firefly pong and cried tears of laughter... it couldn't have been better.
(maybe a little warmer, but hell..that walk down the boardwalk at 2am was perfectly warm. ---Al, we need pictures...NOW!)
insert quotes: "What's her last name? No, what's her new last name? That is her new last name!" "And truthfully she has big arms..." "Jenna, I need to talk to you because you're the only one I know who's gone too Dubai, India" "I'm not like book smart, I'm like life smart" "Stop the cocaine campaign" "Three hours ago, I was wasted as a cow"...and honestly, I couldn't even tell you who, when or how these things were even said, but if they were good enough for me to write down in a notepad, they were damn well gonna make it in here!
amongst all of the craziness that is our lives together ("there are so many things i HATE right now i can't even list them!") ... there was one thing in my wedding weekend that rocked my gut in a different way. in a "let me stop and pause" way...
it was the speech from the priest regarding Kait and Adam's "dance". it was a presentation about communication. words on how to truly value one another...how to talk for hours with your new partner because after all communication is what makes a love grow. it is what makes you remember what it was like in that moment. it is what makes you stronger as an individual and even stronger as a couple. as this man stood at his podium facing Kait and Adam I could barely hold back the sobs [yes, sobs] because there has never been words i felt so valuable to be heard. communication is key and without it we fall apart. so as i personally live a separate life from my partner in crime, i can't think of another thing that i'd want to be reminded of on a day of wedding bliss. communication is what makes a dance sway with fluent uniform. sure, you might knock knees a bit, you might even trip or step on ones heels, but if you communicate, the steps become much more clear and just a bit easier to follow the others lead.
so, for something i'd never expect to be thankful for... thank you Kait and Adam for reminding me why communication is so important, and what it's like to dance with the one you'd share any song with till the end of time. i love you both! congrats!
to the other 4 of you, ya'll are crazy and i love every single one of you to death. keep raging. #soooopretty #socute
