Holding On to Paradise
I’m back from a joyous wedding in the southern California mountains. I cried my eyes out, watching a dear friend take his marriage vows to a most excellent mate. There was so much hope and good cheer in the woods as we danced, drank and toasted our way through this weekend of love. I’m all for it. I really had fun.

Yay, welcome back. I am a new reader, but one who has been the single guest at many, many weddings of close friends, and I found myself really wanting to know how it went.
I had a few moments with my friend right before he signed the marriage contract, which were in effect, his last moments as a single man. We both held each other and cried. It was so moving.
It is so good to hear a single person enjoying a wedding because struggle with weddings. You set up some great plans to make it a great event!
Oops I meant because I struggle with weddings.
I was surrounded by so many good friends, any of whom I could hang with and dance with. That was really the key. But it also helped that I loved my dress.
