To one and all
I have not weighed in on this threadlet but I am going to now.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, for or against anything. It might have been said more politely, it might not have (there were worse ways it could have been said), either way it was said. Each and every one of us read it colored through our own eyes and added a "tone" to it. It may not have been meant in that "tone", it may have. Words can be very powerful things.
The thing that was special about this wedding is that many got together from across the country to make it happen. Woodstock would have been just another open air concert if people hadn't gotten together and made it something really special. The same went on here. BUT just as not everyone came away from Woodstock with Great memories..there are sure to be some who came away from this wedding with some negative opinions.
Some will not have liked the food, others may have loved it. Some would not have liked the cake..others loved it. The Music, the mix of people, the choice of hall, the short timing, the drink...IT DOES NOT MATTER. We did not come together for their sake, we did not cook for their tastes, we did not choose music, dress or raise drink in their names. This was for 2 people we cared about and was a GIFT to them by those of us who pitched in and cooked, baked, planned and coordinated for days, weeks and two months. What could have been a tragedy (the car accident) remained a Blessed day and If I could afford to do this for each and every one of my friends here..I would and that includes Samba's if she wanted it. Pass me a winning lottery ticket and I will.
That said...While there are insiders and cliques on here..I will most likely NEVER be a part of one. Never have been, never will be, too blasted busy living life to cluster like hens and push others way, ignoring the fascinating people I haven't yet met in favor of a few I can make myself feel superior with. So this is not an in-crowd member speaking this is just me, poenkitten. While I did not get to chat with everyone I wanted to..barely had times to get in some of the Hugs I wanted at the Wedding (Hell I didn't even get a chance to do my hair as we left an hour early to bring some last minute stuff to the groom and support him), I did get to Hug, and chat with many and see women in their finery, laying out food, cleaning up afterward and enjoying every minute of it while watching their P's and Q's around the vanilla's. I saw a Bride and Groom overwhelmed at the outpouring of love to them and between them. I saw laughter and tears, heard blessings and toasts and FELT people grow together as two people started on an adventure of a lifetime together. If some were envious, disgruntled or disappointed..well..then they missed out on something beautiful for they missed the LOVE that brought this together. Sad when you can't see the beauty of the Forest for the Trees.
I truly hope your wedding is as special Samba...I hope that for ALL of us who marry our Hearts Mate. Catered affair, Courthouse or family affair it really doesn't matter. As Mike the Notary said..He can't do anything more than the Bride and Groom had already done, all he could do is witness it. That is the way it should be for all of us. May your day be as wondrous and I hope you will share it with us as well. Including the highs, the lows and the stresses..maybe we can make that a little less and remind you to laugh, you are joining with your Hearts' Mate.
