So my friend Lacey is getting married this friday and I am one of ten brides maids, Yes ten. I have spent alot of time contemplating love and marriage. I came across this quote that pretty much sums it up: "As we grow up, we learn that even the one person who wasnt supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You will have you heart broken more than once, and it's harder everytime. You'll break hearts, too, so remember what it felt like when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for the things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing to fast, and eventually, you'll lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt, because every sixty seconds you spend upset is one minute that you'll never get back." This is life and a life without love, is no life at all. So I have decided life is short and I need to make every minute, every second count. On a end note this is the speech I wrote for Alli Lacey sister and Maid of Honor to say at the reception.
All our young lives we search for someone to love, someone to make us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope, all the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, someone is searching for us." Today we celebrate Ben and Lacey having found this someone in eachother. I can remember when Lacey first told me she loved Ben and when I asked her why she said to me he is a good man who treats me right. It sound so simple but in truth its one hardest things to find. And in a marriage it most important to have because, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying, Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness. And you want that witness in your life to be a good person who treats you right and above all else, loves you for everything you are and everything your not. There are tons of people in this world, but in the end it all comes down to one. I know that Ben and Lacey have found that one in eachother, and in this I find hope that one day I can find same, and for that I thank you. To your life together, as one future, one hope, and one life.
