today. for no reason. i decided i would get on Facebook and watch 3 of my friends' wedding slideshows.
these 3 women are 3 of the most beautiful women everrrrr. and they're all in the same family. not even kidding. (i'm like, Lord, share the wealth, please!) and their bridesmaids are beautiful. and their families are beautiful. even their grooms are beautiful...handsome?
everything. beautiful.
i rejoice in beauty (even when I'm obviously just a teensy weensy bit jealous/apprehensive about them and where i one day will fall on this 3fold scale of wedding wonderful.) there's some kind of glow that people who are completely and hopelessly in love have. the flowers, the cake, the dresses, everything pales in comparison to that.
this probably wasn't the best idea. i have a crazy long short story to finish. with 2 pages to type up about just 1 paragraph in that story. and a list of other boring humdrum things. plus they say...by they i mean wise women in my life...that a girl shouldn't let her daydreams of nuptial bliss get ahead of her reality.
my reality is...well...finishing college. strengthening friendships. anticipating student teaching. growing in my relationship with God. growing in and enjoying my relationship with J.
so i admit, i'm off-task. but dropping off into the la-la-land of love and marriage is way too fun. i so look forward to that day, whenever it comes. until then - it's good to share the joy of friends who are planning right now for that day, as well as the joy of being with people who, like me, aren't there yet.
