Friday Thoughts

As we head off into the weekend, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your incredible input yesterday, and for all of your support and stories this week as I work though planning a wedding that matters, even if it's not in a backyard. It's been interesting to discover that the process of marriage isn't nearly as easy as I'd anticipated, and that the emotions keep popping in and surprising me in unexpected ways.

But it's all leading up to a day I'm looking forward to, at the start of a married life together that I can hardly wait to enter into with Jason.  For one of my friends here in weddingblog land, Jenn of A Bride's Brain, she starts her married life this Sunday.  I'm sending her my hope for every joy in the world and every rain-keep-away wish for her Smog Shoppe-located wedding.  And, even if the projected storm hits and it does rain, I know she's still going to have such an amazing time full of laughter, joy, love, and perhaps even a moment of transcendence.  

Image from One Love Photo, at a wedding where "it poured rain, and was absolutely P-E-R-F-E-C-T."  And if the bride said it was perfect anyhow/because of the rain, I know that's exactly how it will be for Jenn, rain or not.
