I finished off the day with the Dempsey movie,"Made of Honor". Not really a chick flick because it was from a man's point of view. It was interesting how it brought out the fact that people are attracted to each other on different levels. For instance, these two main characters did everything together but date or sleep together. They were truly best friends. When one was off somewhere, the other missed them so much that they would call & talk about the pot hole that they saw a week ago that got filled. When you want to tell something to someone that's so mundane, meanless, unimportant, & that person is the opposite sex, you know you have something special.
Patti was right. She said it ranks right up there with "Pretty Woman". Dempsey doesn't play "perfect" in this movie & that was another thing I liked about it. :)
Today, my dear friend Arlene, became a Mrs. She is 60 & John is 45. They met 2.5 yrs ago on a personals website & have been talking about pot holes ever since. :)
The wedding was at the Ellington Agricultural Center in the iris garden under a gazebo. I had never been there & boy, what a nice place! It's funny what's tucked here & there around this area that I've never laid eyes on ever. It was a very simple ceremony with close friends & family. John was beaming & Arlene was her usual cool as a cucumber self. I got there early enough so I could spend some quality time with her before she walked down a wooded path to the gazebo. She wore a light green suit to match her beautiful eyes. I have way better photos on my camera that I'll post tomorrow. These grainy ones are from my cell.
I've been joking with her for a week now about getting her to throw the bouquet at me. At one point, she said for me just to grab it off her arm at the end of the ceremony. ha! She & I have shared so many war stories about EVERYTHING it's not even funny. I'm so glad she found her best friend. Before I left, she didn't throw the bouquet, she handed me the bouquet. I almost cried. She is by far one of the best people in my life. I don't know what I would have done if she had never been there for me during my divorce. She is one of a few people who yanked me up by my boot straps & told me to snap out of it. It's been a wild ride of laughter ever since. :)
