beautiful wedding

wow it's been a little more than a week since i wrote last! tells you how busy i've been....

well... let's see... first of all i have 10000 things to do and i feel like i won't have time to do all of them, problem is I HAVE to do them. oh well... i'll just have to cope with everything.

my weekend was stupendous. my cousin got married and she looked gorgeous. her dress was beautifully white and she radiated. she glowed. her veil had little tiny sparkles that shimmered, it seemed Heaven had sprinkled Holy dew upon her. the mass was just beautiful. yes-- i did cry. the priest spoke so wonderfully-- he just said she looked like a queen (which she did) and it was such a nice sermon. i think what activated my tears was when he said "... and as you look into the other person's eyes you see a bit of eternity...." *eyes water up* hahaha... then my cousin said her vows and her voice cracked and my cousin (her older sister) started crying, my mom started crying, and of course, i'd been crying a little while now.... oh we were a sad bunch! :-P ha, it was great. everything was beautiful and i dare say pretty close to perfect in my opinion.

then in the afterwards party, there was the dance. she hates the spotlight, so whenever they would dance she would look away (hahaha amazingly enough, i can relate... it's like, you don't want to do something so personal and intimate in front of bunches of people). he couldn't take his eyes off her.... he also glowed, he looked so happy.... i felt like that should be their moment, like i shouldn't be intruding. i felt like it was a crime against humanity to sit there, watching this couple in love dance as if for my own spectacle when they should dance with each other instead of in front of me. so i watched away. then i came back to it, curious.... her nose rested in his neck. and she looked so fragile, vulnerable... her face was hidden from the world, and he... he looked as though the world didn't exist. her fragility made him look stronger and weaker. her fragility was so wonderful though, she relied on him, and he relied on her. their shared fragility made them solid. so i smiled, and turned away, thoughtful....

as for now, photography graphic design, grocery shopping, breakfast, and picking up something from the mailbox all await....
