| The Wedding |
The whole thing caught me by surprise, the surprise of how it effected me. I'm not your typical girl when it comes to emotional things . . . I'll get all doey eyes during movies like Armageddon, Step Mother, Walk in the Clouds and even really lame movies/shows where's you're not expected to cry. But when it comes to weddings and funerals my eyes are always bone dry, not that I don't care but I'm not struck enough to get leaky eyed.
So while I was getting my hair and make-up done, the day of, the subject of waterproof mascara came-up multiple times. Specially since every 2 minutes my mom was getting teary-eyed for the last few weeks. But I was confident that I wouldn't, why would I? I'm not loosing anyone, nothing is really changing in my life. Taysia has been around for the past 2 years, she and my brother have been living together for the past year . . . a little ring doesn't effect MY life, just there's. I never cried for any other little ceremony I had been to.
There wasn't even a threat of tears as I was escorted down the aisle by my brother's friend (groomsmen). We were the last couple to come down the aisle before my daughter came down (will talk about that in another blog). After coming down the aisle we're to walk to the center of the stairs before going to the side, it was looking up to my brother that did it. Yup he had tears rimming his eyes . . damn . . . from there on out I had issues thru the whole service. I would compose myself, but then my eyes would look to Jeremy and Taysia as they exchanged vows . . . both had tears falling. Their emotions were so transparent that . . . damn it's enough to make me get teary eyed again and the wedding was nearly three weeks ago.
I tried playing it off cool, cause people only notice you're crying when you wipe your tears away . .. so I didn't for the most part. Apparently one of my tears had fallen on the neckline of my dress, which was pointed out to me after the ceremony.
On the plus side, for me, it was common talk during the reception that nearly everyone was moved to tears during the ceremony. I think there was a 100% contamination for all females in the church. It was a beautiful wedding, picture-perfect Jeremy and Taysia. And that's the whole point isn't it?
