This weekend we had the pleasure of attending another cousin's wedding. There were 7 of the original cousins there. The wedding was just wonderful - the bride and groom were glowing.
The real party was the interaction amongst the "cousins". It didn't matter that some of us hadn't seen each other in years. There were no awkward moments. We seemed to cling to each other - soak up each others words. The hugs were real, not merely obligatory. The laughs were genuine belly laughs! The tears were understood, no words necessary.
There will always be parties and gatherings of all sorts; but there is nothing that compares to family getting together to share a happy occasion such as a wedding.
I will look back on this weekend with many mixed emotions. Smiling at the funny times, tearing up at the emotional moments. I am so grateful for the camaraderie we all share.
Thank you "Anonymous" for our special dance.
Thank you, Matriarch, for a most memorable weekend.
