2 weddings down, 2 to go!

Home sweet home after a fantastic weekend in Palm Beach, FL for my friend Josh and Jenna's wedding at the ever so glamourous Four Seasons Hotel right on the beach.  The bride was beautiful, the groom as happy as can be, the food delicious and the setting even more spectacular.  Got a chance to reconnect with friends, meet new ones and spend most of Saturday on the beach in the warm Atlantic ocean.  

If I were the kind of gal looking to date, this would have not been the wedding to go to... As it turned out, I was the only single person at this wedding... All couples!  Some married, some engaged and most living together.  Quite the perfect scene to discuss relationships.  The married gals spoke of stories of break-ups prior to an ultimate commitment from their guy.  The girlfriends spoke of longing to get married after long engagements, 3 years for one girl and 6 for another...!!  The boyfriends also had some interesting stories, the most compelling one came from Tim S. who after a break-up with his current girlfriend flew out to Jamaica to a wedding they were both suppose to attend with a ring and a proposal only to be turned down..!  WOW, I was floored hearing that story.  For the most part, I had a great time speaking with everyone especially with the families of the groom and bride.  I heart old people's wisdom.

The only time I felt alone was during dancing. I could not quite pull off dancing by myself.  I got sad for a sec and shook it off when Steve, one of the guys at my table came to check on me.  Like a sign from the universe not to dwell in sad things that have not manifested but rather enjoy joyous occasions and time with friends.  We kept the party going until 2:35 am! Quite painful to wake up at 6 am for an 8 am flight I must admit.  

The best words of wisdom came from the rabbi marrying the couple.  He said there is no such thing as a perfect relationship, echoing further the stories I had heard all weekend.  But rather, love is something you work at in every relationship especially the one you have with yourself.  Wise words...
