Yesterday my second cousin got married. She is 22 and the oldest of her 7 first cousins. She has planned her wedding for a long time and the planning and preparation paid off. The whole day was calm and organized and well executed.....three things that are very elusive on wedding days!!! It was also very sweet and special. They both are strong willed and mature people and really took the wedding into their own hands and made it what a wedding should be.....a glimpse into the future that they intend to build for themselves! And the future looks great!
That is in fact what I liked most about yesterday. I got to see a lot of old friends and lots of my favorite relatives. But, as always with the oldest, I got to witness the beginning of the changing of the guard. Just as my cousins and I at some point moved from the kid table to the grown up table, now our children are beginning to take their place with us at the grown up table. And it's comforting to see.
