weddings are wildly inconvenient. i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. the rolling the suitcase into the airport stall with the half broken wheel, the blisters on the feet, the finding the babysitters and then finding another one cause that one bailed, the waiting for the rental car return shuttle just to take it to the wrong one, the realizing you don’t have the right bra for the dress, the forgetting a tie, the google maps blipping out followed by the poor attempt to trust our non existent inner directional guide…
yet
having your village surround you, having your closest people witness your forever, having them show up on your dance floor surprising you with a choreographed dance because they know that is your love language. it surpasses the blisters and the bras and the schlep. there is no substitution for showing up. may people find the gusto to rally for their people forever and ever amen.
