Weddings

Just finished unpacking and sorting after returning from a wedding in Ottawa. Drove there and back by myself, I know that is hard to believe but I did it. People who know me know that I do not enjoy driving on major highways. Have been known to do some driving on the major highways but prefer quieter back roads. That is what I did today and I am glad that I did because a couple times, I hit some very heavy rain and would not have wanted to be driving full speed and barely able to see.
After putting things away and dealing with paper work, it is time to reflect on the wedding. The bride was lovely, her dress very tasteful and the groom of course handsome.
I know that there are customs associated with weddings but one I think that I would like to see changed is having the friends of the bride on one side and the groom's family on the other. Why not mix them up and then there is some chance that they will get together at the reception. Just a thought.
There are things that I find fascinating about weddings such as relationships between the two families. Most often it is a challenge integrating the two but it can be done.
I wish this married couple all the best and look forward to the next wedding.
