Not about the program.....about life...

Well, today....I went to a wedding at a bar.....the gentleman performing the ceremony -it was his first time...he lost his spot in the ceremony, and had the bride and groom repeat their vows twice....there was b-b-q and baked beans....but, it was the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to....here's why....

The bride is a friend of mine....I've known her for only 1 1/2 years, but, in that time.....
the day my son died, and all my local (and I thought better friends) stayed away because they just didn't 'know what to say', she didn't....she came to my door, and when told by our housekeeper and my husband that I was in my room and didn't want to be disturbed, pushed past them and came to me....picked me up and held me, fed me and let me cry.....brought food to feed me and my family for days....
Just a month ago she founf out she had inherited a heart disease that could kill her at any minute, of any day.....I went to see her in the hospital, where she smiled, amd laughed, and made me feel alive....her fiance, insisted they get married in the hospital, but she assured him she would be o/k to have a wedding.....
So today they did, at the place they met, where all her family and friends gathered to watch her in one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen....
If anyone deserves happiness, it is her....and to watch her happy was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.....
