Pouting

I forgot to mention about the pouting and cancelling the wedding, and what saved us. So, after seeing the beautiful spots and having more than one unpleasant discussion about the reception and guest list, we decided, fine, we'll cancel or postpone. We'll have it somewhere else, some other date, another time.

But what about the magnets? What about the timing? What about my sister who is a busy Professor and travelling a lot? What about all the other people?

Over Christmas, we got really stressed about it.

Until KM wrote to us. A voice of reason in the murky muck.

She reminded us to think of why we wanted to do this in the first place. She reminded us to remember our vision and what we wanted. She reminded us that this is special and sacred and important to us, and that the people who love us will support us on our day, however it materializes.

And we realized she is right. And we probably didn't thank her enough for that. But she has reminded us of our deeper meaning, and reasons for this. So many of us are joined and healed and comforted and united in music. We want to hear each other's voices and share a meal and laughter and story and rejoice in the happiness that doesn't come every day or year or to us, decade.

So, thank you KM for being the voice that reminded us to stop thinking outside and think inside, from love. Love for each other, our friends, family, community and for song and voice and laughter.

Yours in matrimony
Cupcake
