Someone once pointed out that the ultimate happy-ending is a wedding… over and over great happy-ending stories conclude with a wedding… Cinderella… Snow White… Lord of the Rings… Pride and Prejudice… Hitch…
I just experienced a wedding… lots of beautiful people… joyfully gathered… singularly focused…
Unusual since half the party never laid eyes on the other half before… bride’s family and friends… groom’s family and friends… and they do party…
Food… dancing… celebration…
My family danced together for the first time ever! Only a wedding could provide the backdrop for such a joy in the midst of so many perfect strangers…
But… weddings feel more like a beginning than an end… maybe that’s why they make great endings… they lead to a new beginning…
There’s one more great story that ends with a wedding…
