Drew was a beautiful bride, the ceremony itself simple and moving, and lots of celebrating afterward including a late night at O'Connell's pub in Alexandria, with Drew still in her wedding gown.
Although all relationships grow, flourish, and sometimes fade, and like everything in this world they have no permanence - it is a joy to see the Happy that all these relationships are giving my friends right now.
Which is not to imply I think all relationships end, or worse, 'fail'. I remember when the Gores announced their divorce, there was a great amount of teeth-gnashing around "O if they can't make it work who can?", after twenty years of marriage. That actually sounded pretty successful to me.
Just because something ends, does not mean it failed. It means it ended. And we really must be grateful for what we do have - not mourn for what we don't have, or what simply cannot be.
I have had a lot of good times and many fun adventures, but I can tell you there are only three men I so truly loved I believed I could have spent my life with them. Adored them, admired their talent, wanted so much to be the one to make them happy. But as anyone reading this knows, I've never been married so you can figure out how that sorted.
Again, I am thrilled for my friends, I am. Yet it reminds me I have so much love to give, but I can't seem to find anyone who wants it.
I did catch the bouquet.
Why can't the paparazzi just leave me alone?
