Mary was the Marrying Kind!
Hi everyone
So as you may or may not know, about two weeks ago, one of my best friends in the whole world got married. I haven't known her for very long, but her kindness towards me has gone a long way. She decided to invite me and three others of my friends to her wedding which was very nice of her, she didn't have to do that. I wasn't going in with any expectations of being invited, I thought it would be nice if I did but somehow thought, oh well what if I don't and even if I don't it's fine.
As much as I love weddings and they're a great thing, I would understand the reasons why I wouldn't be asked to be involved. However, despite all my doubts and worrying and the will it happen or won't it, I got an invite. This event or this wedding was something that meant a lot to me, but not just for me, for my friends as well. We all planned out our day together and made an effort to go out shopping and buy new suits, I had gone to the trouble of creating a wedding card and a few gifts, so we all prepared and marked the occasion in our own way, and then the day of the wedding finally arrived.
I don't know about how anyone else was feeling, but to me, it felt like waking up on Christmas morning, like that special warm glow that you get when you wake up on Christmas Day feeling all excited and happy, that's how I felt waking up on the day of the wedding. It was something which we all had been looking forward to and put a lot of effort and planning into, we were all very excited and it was quite humbling to think that this all started with four people coming together to work on a play, and now here we were, a year and a half later, on our way to our friends wedding.
Whenever I hear this song, I think back and remember my friend walking up the aisle having stepped out of a white camper van. It brings back fond memories and was actually very emotional. I felt very emotional more after the wedding had happened then when it was happening in the moment.
In the end, Mary really was the marrying kind! xx
