I never thought of myself as the kind of girl that would cry at a wedding. I was watching the bride walk down the aisle, looking more beautiful than I've ever seen her before and I've known her my entire life, and then I glanced at her mother and the world fell away. Image giving away your only daughter. Imagine letting go your first born. Imagine marrying off your child, knowing they will never be yours in the same way again. I imagined. So I cried at the wedding. And the mother of the bride, my Arab godmother, the woman who all but raised my brother and I when my parents were too busy killing one another to do it, she saw me. She didn't say a word to my mother about it, just kissed the top of my head and said, "May your time come soon." |

bacardi | 03-31-05 2:19pm Wow, that almost made me cry. Seriously though that was touching, I think I have cried at every wedding I have been too even my ex-g/f's cousins (lol i didnt even know them), but I don't think I did at my uncle Tony's second marriage because I couldn't place myself into his shoes, just to old.

moana | Re:, 03-31-05 2:26pm It's a good thing. I'm just not the crying type, I don't cry at movies and at weddings and at funerals, it's just not my style, so this was a shocker. I wish I could cry, when appropriate, you know?

guajiragoddess | Re: Re:, 03-31-05 5:25pm I think you both are romantics. I mean, the only reason you're so against marriage is because you're afraid...and shit, I'd be afraid too if I grew up with your parents, Fay. But honestly, I think that will only make you want to hold on more to the person who makes you happiest. I mean, don't the bad times make the good times that much better? If anything, you're better equipped than the rest of us to decide what is real and what isn't.
