The wedding was beautiful. The bride looked great. The groom was happy. Love filled the room. It was just lovely.

But it wasn’t easy.

Friday the bride was a little… stressed. We got her a massage. And took her to the country club where the reception was held, and finally calmed her down. She kept saying she was going to lower her expectations so that everything would be surprisingly good.

That made me sad!

But she woke up, the sky was blue, the makeup and hair people were early. The moms were calm. The flower lady was an hour late, and showed up without the vases for the centerpieces, and had to drive an hour and a half to get them. The cake delivery guy got lost in the mountains. And the “bus” that was supposed to drive the bride, her mom, me and the flower girl to the ceremony, also had half of the groom’s elderly relatives.

But the bride and groom danced and hugged and loved. And that’s the whole point.
