Everyone is Getting Married

Last night my sister called me just to talk. I started to tell her how I just went to Moses Lake, where our Grandparents live, to visit them with David. When I was there I found out that one of my cousins got officially engaged at Christmas and another one of cousins is also planning on getting married after he and his fiancée save up some money. Two of David's cousins are getting married also. One is eloping with his live-in-girlfriend in the next month and another is just getting engaged. On top of our cousins getting married my brother recently found an engagement ring he wants to propose with to his girlfriend, and my sister is also seriously thinking about getting married to her boyfriend. And Last, but not least, my best friend Amanda just moved in with her boyfriend and the word marriage has been floating around. Its crazy how many people I know that are all planning on getting married one after another. Maybe David and I made getting married the thing to do. : )

Last July I stood in as maid of honor for a childhood friend’s wedding. When it came time for the bouquet to be thrown there was only three women, including myself, standing there to catch it (it was a small outdoor garden wedding). The other ladies looked at me and said, "We're just standing here, we're not going to try to catch it." So it was obvious that I was one that was going to get it. I was surprised when the bouquet was thrown I didn't even have to move my feet, it came right to me. Little did I know at that moment that I would be the next single girl, from everyone I know, to get married. It's strange to think about now. I've realized that I've change dramatically in the last eight months. This kind of change though, is good. I'm happy with where my life has gone so far.

My new hope for all the people I know who are getting married will find the same happiness in their marriages as I have found in mine and in result feel more complete than they ever have before.
