Katie and I went to a wedding today.<\/p>\n
I like weddings. Everyone looks great and everyone goes home happy (and, possibly, a little frisky).<\/p>\n
It was one of Katie’s high school friends, who looked beautiful, and the wedding was outdoors and relatively short. The reception was a brunch and there were many entertaining toasts.<\/p>\n
It was also a chance for Katie to catch up with some other high school friends who she hadn’t seen in a while, while we awkward male partners supported their conversation as much as we were able.<\/p>\n
Most of all, though, the bride and groom were beaming throughout the morning and through brunch. Weddings are like Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet: it’s love, idealized. It’s a perfect day, the perfect moment between two people that can never be taken away, regardless of future divorces or poisons or potions that make you appear dead.<\/p>\n
It’s been a good, if tiring day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
