I spent the weekend with some rather wonderful individuals at one of B's great friend's weddings. I'm pretty lucky that my significant other has a stellar group of people he's associated with and their significant others are equally fantastic. I'm even more lucky that I was grandfathered into the group once we started dating and can now call them my friends/family as well. Being embraced with open arms by these fine folks when few of my close friends lived in Des Moines meant and still does mean the world.
While there were many highlights of our weekend in small town western Iowa, (including meeting many of the equally great families these people come from) the most memorable moment came at the last song. With 50+ people standing in a circle, arm in arm singing and swaying to Piano Man at the top of our lungs, as the bride and groom danced in the middle. I know a few people had a tear or two in their eye at the amount of love that was in that room last night. A whole bunch of love. I wish I had been smart enough to take a picture of it. Hopefully someone did, but that visual will stick with me for awhile.
I guess I'm still on a high from the weekend and realize there's really not a value in this post if you a. haven't met his/our friends or b. weren't at said wedding... but I guess I am once again reiterating, as I've done before, that I'm pretty lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful people. So this post is for my benefit, possibly alone,... and I'll do my best to post something a little less personal soon.
