Well, things are getting back to normal after the rehearsal dinner, wedding and brunch. I dropped the last two of my pals off at different airports yesterday. My cousin is still here and we're doing something with him Saturday, but now is a reflecting, resting, and catching up time. On the whole, there was a lot of right speech. People were friendly, supportive and kind. The vows were perfect and the toasts and other public pronouncements quite lovely.
Now I am having things I witnessed in the rush surface, and I am able to notice and reflect. The little moments that get lost in the rush, but now my mind resurrects. The look on my granddaughters' faces when they got to hold the bride's bouquet. The hug of an old friend and the love on the faces of the bride and groom. The dance floor with all my friends swirling and goofing off. My daughter's best friend's toast of her. The flowers of hydrangea and tulips and roses. It's a dilaphenous cloud of magic.
Today I talked to the real estate agent selling my brother's house, the estate sale man and the lawyer's secretary. Earth to Paula. But it's all nicely buffered by the wedding events and my friends' support and my children's and grandchildren's happiness. Ah.................
