What a weekend. Ya know, I was in my cousin's wedding. I've known her since she was born and I was 1. As I stood there watching her say her vows, our whole childhood flashed before my eyes. Seems like a lifetime ago, but also, just like yesterday. We had so much innocent fun together as children, and then some not so innocent times as roommates during the college years. The wedding was amazing. The only thing that spoiled the day was the heat. It was a good 100 degrees and the air conditioning broke down! They invited over 500 guests and I think everyone showed up! Some unfortunate people were forced to sit in the church basement and view the wedding via video monitor. The wedding was at my hometown church in Sterling.. That place is full of spirits and I never really know how I feel when I enter in. I was baptised in that church and attended almost every Sunday while I lived at home. My parents were married there, my dad and grandparents' funerals were held there, all three within a 17 month period, and my sister was maried there. My uncle Galen sang the Lord's Prayer. That song has such a bittersweet meaning for my family and I because it has been sung at every wedding and funeral in our family. Galen sings so well and with such strength, especially the high notes, I was full of goose bumps and tears. After the wedding, the wedding party rode in limos to Scotts Bar in Sterling and had a few cocktails. After returning to the limos for the drive to Lincoln and consuming more champagne than I thought imaginable, we arrived at the Cornhusker Hotel for the reception. Amazing. It was the most elegant affair I have attended for quite some time. All-in-all, a wonderful night. I am so happy for Shar and her new husband, Jamie. absorb. God bless em!
