Another Great Wedding

This weekend I had the privilege of attending another perfect wedding. This is the second one in 3 weeks. How cool is that?!

Over the weekend, Doodles and Mr. Perfect got married. Finally. These 2 crazy kids deserve this more than anyone I can think of, and their wedding was insanely simple and awesome all at once. Besides the bride and groom, there were 8 people there (1 being the pastor). It was on the beach. We all wore capris (even the guys!) and sandals. They dressed up but went barefoot. Very casual stuff.

But, to quote Doodles, God showed up and showed off. The day was perfect. Hardly anyone on the beach, gorgeous weather, a million yellow butterflies all around, and 2 people who love each other tremendously doing it their way. Very cool.

When SuperHubby and I were engaged, my dad offered us $10,000 to elope. We were young and stupid and took the wedding over the cash. We should've taken the cash. The wedding didn't turn out as we planned (does it ever, really?) The money would've been great.

At the risk of sounding like an old fogey, I wish these young kids these days would think about things when they're getting married. It really is about the marriage and not the wedding. If you're all into frou-frou and big parties, great, but that's really not what's important here.

What's important right now is that my friend married her man this weekend.
